Pauley Perrette recently left her best-known role as forensic scientist Abby Sciuto on the series 'NCIS,' after starring on the show for 15 seasons. Now, after her official departure, she has come forward about multiple physical assault allegations in a series of tweets. 

Four days after appearing in her final episode of 'NCIS,' the actress went public about her alleged physical attacks, which occurred at her place of work. She wrote, "Maybe I'm wrong for not 'spilling the beans' Telling the story, THE TRUTH. I feel I have to protect my crew, jobs and so many people. But at what cost?"


Comedian Kathy Griffin was stirred by the news and reached out via Twitter to show her support for the actress in a four-part thread. The two have been friends for years, and Griffin had nothing but praise for the actress in the first tweet. Griffin's part two of the thread defended Perrette, admitting that, like herself, Perrette is a woman of privilege, but emphasizing the fact that it doesn't take away from her risk in speaking out. Part three asked people to continue to support Perrette's endeavors in defiance of those who dislike when women speak out. The final piece called upon Griffin's followers to thank Perrette for telling the truth. 


CBS responded to Perrette's public claims by explaining that the actress had come to them before and that the company worked with her to find a resolution, adding that they are committed to creating a safe workplace for their employees. Perrette thanked them for always having her back, and the Twitterverse finally got to see a good example of a positive corporate reaction to sexual assault allegations.
