Despite being a fan favorite in NCIS as Abby Sciuto, Pauley Perrette left the show in season 15 in 2017 – but how was the character written out, and was she k1lled off? Find out more here…
Abby and Clayton went to a restaurant where they were held up at gunpoint in the two-part finale, One Step Forward and Two Steps Back.
While Clayton was k1lled, Abby survived the att4ck, and it was later revealed that she was the v1ctim of a hit planned by Robert King.
Abby recovers and assists NCIS in bringing down Robert by claiming to have poisoned him with cyanide and only giving him the cure after a confession. However, after the incident, she decides to leave the team for good.
“It’s been such an incredible journey, this one little fictional television character,” she said on The Talkback.
It has been enormous and overwhelming for young girls all over the world, in every country, over the course of 15 years, to model themselves after this television character.
“And it made math and science not only a viable option for them, but also accessible and enjoyable.” And it has inspired these girls, which is very touching.”
However, Pauley’s departure was not without controversy, as she reportedly left the show due to growing tensions between herself and the show’s lead, Mark Harmon.
Mark’s dog, which he would bring to set, was said to have injured members of the crew, and Pauley complained about the situation.
In a tweet about the situation, she said, “Perhaps I’m wrong for not’spilling the beans.'” THE TRUTH is being told. I feel obligated to protect my crew, jobs, and a large number of people. But at what price? I’m not sure. Just know that I’m trying to do the right thing, but maybe silence isn’t the best way to deal with cr1me.”
“I’ve always supported anti[i]bullying programs,” she added. But now I know for SURE because it was ME! If you’re required to attend school or work? It’s frightening. I left. Several physical assaults. I finally get it. Keep yourself safe. Nothing is more important than your safety. Inform someone.”
“Pauley Perrette had a terrific run on NCIS and we are all going to miss her,” CBS said at the time. Pauley approached us about a year ago with a workplace issue. We took the situation seriously and collaborated with her to find a solution. On all of our shows, we are committed to providing a safe working environment.”
In 2019, Pauley alluded to the situation once more, dismissing reports that she would return to the show. “NO I AM NOT COMING BACK!” she tweeted. EVER! (Would you please stop asking?) I’m terrified of Harmon and the possibility of him att4cking me. It gives me nightmares. I’ve got a new show that’s SAFE AND HAPPY! You’ll enjoy it! #HappyPlace I adore you!”

I would hope that she went to the right people to begin with.
Then put on paper, tell other people (make it known) what happened.
File paperwork.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the show. But right is right and wrong is wrong.
Obviously you left, so nothing is solved, and free to happen again.
