Many fans were shocked when Pauley Perrette announced, earlier this month, that she is leaving the show after NCIS Season 15. The 48-year-old CBS star has been playing the role of forensic specialist Abby Sciuto for 16 years already. However, the New Orleans-native is set to sign off after the current installment comes to a close.
Via her official Twitter account, Pauley Perrette made the shocking announcement on October 4. In the said post, the NCIS Season 15 actress revealed that she already made the decision last year. The former wife of Coyote Shivers also emphasized that there is no drama behind her choice.
