Amidst reports of a feud with co-star Mark Harmon, Pauley Perrette, renowned for her iconic portrayal of Abby Sciuto on NCIS, made the difficult decision to depart from the show. Allegedly, tensions arose following an incident involving Harmon’s dog, which left Perrette feeling “terrified” of her co-star.
Her departure from NCIS was followed by a starring role in the sitcom Broke, which unfortunately faced cancellation after its inaugural season. Despite her hopes for a potential return to NCIS, Perrette was not afforded the opportunity to reprise her role on the show. Disheartened by this setback, she announced her retirement from acting, marking the conclusion of a remarkable career that left an indelible impact on television.
