Pauley Perrette will never return to 'NCIS,' claims she is 'terrified' of former co-star Mark Harmon - Fox News

Pauley Perrette leaving 'NCIS' after 16 years

Fox411: Actress Pauley Perrette confirmed she is leaving 'NCIS' after playing forensic scientist Abby Sciuto for 16 years. Adding on social media 'NO MY NETWORK AND SHOW ARE NOT MAD AT ME!'

Pauley Perrette is making it clear: she is never returning to "NCIS."

The actress, 50, took to Twitter on Friday to explain to her followers that she is "not coming back" to the CBS procedural drama "ever," claiming she is "terrified" of former co-star Mark Harmon.

“NO I AM NOT COMING BACK! EVER! (Please stop asking?),” she wrote before alleging: “I am terrified of Harmon and him attacking me. I have nightmares about it."

'NCIS' ACTRESS PAULEY PERRETTE CLAIMS SHE LEFT THE SHOW OVER 'MULTIPLE PHYSICAL ASSAULTS'

"I have a new show that is SAFE AND HAPPY!" she added. "You’ll love it! #HappyPlace Love y’all!”

Reps for CBS and Harmon did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

PAULEY PERRETTE LEAVING 'NCIS' 

Perrette left "NCIS" in May 2018 after 16 years on the series. She alleged she exited the show over "multiple physical assaults."

As previously reported, days after her character forensic scientist Abby Sciuto's final appearance on the beloved procedural, Perrette released a series of ominous tweets. In them, she alleged abuse on the set that she claimed was being covered up by a “machine” run by “a very rich, very powerful” publicity entity.

WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES BELOW

On Friday, Perrette posted pictures of an individual -- who she claims was her crew member on "NCIS" -- with a bruised eye and stitches.

"You think I didn’t expect blow back? You got me wrong. THIS happened To my crew member and I fought like hell to keep it from happening again! To protect my crew!" she wrote alongside the photos, before alleging: "And then I was physically assaulted for saying NO!?and I lost my job."

Although Perrette did not share when the alleged assault happened, last May The Wrap reported that in 2016 a crew member was bitten by Harmon's dog, which ultimately required stitches. According to the outlet, citing sources, the actress "objected when the dog was allowed to return" to set following the incident and "the tension between the two stars" became "bad."

PAULEY PERRETTE THANKS CBS FOR ITS RESPONSE TO HER ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS 

In a statement to Fox News from CBS at the time, the television studio said: “Pauley Perrette had a terrific run on ‘NCIS’ and we are all going to miss her. Over a year ago, Pauley came to us with a workplace concern. We took the matter seriously and worked with her to find a resolution. We are committed to a safe work environment on all our shows."

In response, Perrette took to Twitter to thank CBS for its statement, indicating that it wasn't to blame for her assault allegations.

"I want to thank my studio and network CBS They have always been so good to me and always had my back," she wrote.

At the time, CBS would not comment on any follow-up questions about the nature of the workplace complaint or exactly what kind of resolution was met.

Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk were 'on and off' for the past year, source says - CNN

The relationship has been strained, according to the source, over Cooper's "intense" work-ethic during production and press for "A Star Is Born."

"He's into bettering himself, and his career and doesn't want distractions," the source said. "When he does a role, he stays in character, at least partly, all during filming."

Cooper, 44 and Shayk, 33, have parted ways after being in a relationship for four years, a second source close to the couple told CNN.

But early in his time together with Shayk, Cooper spoke to friends about wanting to marry her.

"He said she was 'the one'" in 2015," the first source said, who added that the couple has been "on and off for about a year now," trying to work on things for the sake of their 2-year-old daughter.

Cooper and Shayk recently attended Jerry Seinfeld's 65th birthday party at New York's Cafe Carlyle in late April.

In February, Shayk had told Glamour UK she's not going to share her personal life with the public.

"I have a lot of friends who share a lot of their personal life on Instagram or social media, very publicly," she said. "I admire it and I think it's great -- but I think it's all about personal choice. Because my work requires me to be out there, I just decided my personal life will be quiet. That's why it's called personal, because it's something for you and your family, and I feel happy with it."

CNN has reached out to reps for both Cooper and Shayk for comment.

Cooper's "A Star Is Born" co-star, Lady Gaga, recently opened up about her split in February from her former fiancé, Christian Carino.

"Last time I sang this song, I had a ring on my finger, so it'll be different this time," Gaga reportedly said during a performance of her "Jazz and Piano" show in Las Vegas over the weekend, before singing "Someone to Watch Over Me."

Gaga and Cooper's show-stopping duet of "Shallow" at the Academy Awards earlier this year inspired fans to express speculation and hope on social media that two would make their on-screen romance real.

Gaga responded with a big eye roll to suggestions the two had a thing.

"First of all... social media, quite frankly, is the toilet of the internet and what it's done to pop culture is abysmal," Gaga said in an interview with Jimmy Kimmell days after the performance. "People saw love and, guess what, that's what we wanted to you to see. This is a love song."

Cooper directed their film and intended for them to appear close during their Oscar performance, she said.

"From a performance perspective, it was so important to both of us that we were connected the entire time," Gaga said. "I've had my arms wrapped around Tony Bennett for three years touring the world. When you're singing love songs, that's how you want people to feel."
