Pauley Perrette departed “NCIS” after 15 seasons, with her final appearance as Abby Sciuto airing on May 8, 2018. In the series, Abby resigned following the death of her colleague, Clayton Reeves, choosing to honor his memory by starting a charity to help the homeless.
In real life, Perrette’s decision to leave was influenced by multiple physical assaults on set and a significant conflict with co-star Mark Harmon. She alleged that Harmon brought his dog to the set, which bit a crew member, leading to a 16-stitch injury. Despite the incident, Harmon continued to bring his dog to work, causing tension between the two.
