Actress Pauley Perette has come out in support of her NCIS co-star Michael Weatherly, who has been accused of sexually harassing Eliza Dushku.
“This man…I love, respect, believe, and KNOW. TWO DECADES of friendship and admiration. The very best. @M Weatherly, I adore you. Forever and ever, “On Saturday, Perette tweeted.
The tweet comes after it was revealed that CBS paid Eliza Dushku $9.5 million in a secret settlement after she accused Weatherly, 50, of harassing her.
The New York Times reported on Thursday that Dushku, 37, claimed Weatherly made inappropriate remarks to her while she was working on the CBS drama Bull.
Weatherly allegedly made comments about Dushku’s appearance, as well as a rape joke and a remark about a threesome, according to the Times.
The actress claimed she confronted Weatherly about the inappropriate behavior and was then fired from the show. According to the outlet, she believed she was fired from the show in retaliation.
Perette, 49, left the NCIS earlier this year after “multiple physical assaults.”
