Pauley Perrette departed from NCIS in 2018 after playing the character Abby Sciuto for more than ten years. Since then, she has kept a relatively low profile but occasionally alludes to a possible return. Nevertheless, she has made it clear about her retirement, despite occasional speculation.
Perrette’s exit from NCIS was said to be due to disagreements with Mark Harmon and workplace challenges. Accusations of a harmful work environment, including a physical altercation, came to light, prompting Perrette to depart.
Even though CBS responded to Perrette’s workplace concerns, the situation is still contentious. Perrette has conveyed her apprehension towards Harmon and has made it clear that she will not be coming back to NCIS. Amidst the ongoing rumors surrounding her possible comeback, it’s clear that Perrette’s exit from NCIS was filled with conflict and personal struggles.
