Actress Pauley Perrette shocked fans in 2017 when she walked away from NCIS — and surprised them even more in 2018 after accusing longtime costar Mark Harmon of “multiple physical assaults.” At the time, CBS noted in a statement that Perrette’s concerns were taken “seriously” and that they “worked with her to find a resolution.” Perrette stole the spotlight once again earlier this month when she declared in a rare interview that she will “never again” return to acting, prompting Us to take a deep dive into her career. “She never expected to become a famous actress,” a source exclusively tells Us, saying Perrette often “felt uncomfortable” in the Hollywood bubble.
