AceShowbiz - Pauley Perette left fans devastated following her final episode on "NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service" aired on May 8. Now, the actress, who starred as beloved forensic scientist Abby Sciuto for 15 seasons, takes to Twitter to seemingly explain that she left the CBS show due to "multiple physical assaults."
Perrette addresses false reports of her in a series of tweets, urging fans to "tell someone" if they find themselves in an unsafe situation. "I refused to go low, that's why I've never told publicly what happened," the 49-year-old actress says. "But there are tabloid articles out there that are telling total lies about me. If you believe them? Please leave me alone. You clearly don't know me. (Sorry guys, had to be said)."

Just... ?"

"I've been supporting ant-bullying programs forever. But now I KNOW because it was ME! If it's school or work, that you're required to go to? It's horrifying. I left. Multiple Physical Assaults. I REALLY get it now. Stay safe. Nothing is worth your safety. Tell someone," she concludes.

I Want the world to watch. I did my best work for you. And TONS of flashbacks. Everyone is there. Love you! Get everyone to watch please."
