Pauley Perrette

Pauley Perrette may be out of NCIS.

But the actress is not out of the news.

Pauley Perrette was not killed off NCIS.

The veteran actress, who confirmed she was leaving this long-running drama last fall, bid farewell to viewers and to her character of Abby Sciuto last Tuesday night.

Pauley Perrette has officially left NCIS.

The actress confirmed many months ago that she planned to leave television's highest-rated drama toward the end of Season 15, saying in October:

NCIS is losing a key cast member.

But not any time in the very near future at least.

Most people know Pauley Perrette as the goth forensic scientist Abby Sciuto on NCIS.

Officers of the LAPD, however, are getting to know her as the woman who keeps randomly getting attacked by homeless people.

If you watch NCIS online, then you know actress Pauley Perrette from her role as the gothed-out forensic scientist Abby Sciuto.

Last night, Perrette was involved in a harrowing real life crime, and she shared the frightening tale with her Twitter followers.

Francis "Coyote" Shivers, the ex-husband of NCIS star Pauley Perrette, says he dumped the 43-year-old actress after she slept with a pizza delivery man.

Shivers, who faces jail time for violating a restraining order, also says she's living the plot of an unsold film script she wrote and framing him with cops.

Francis "Coyote" Shivers, the ex-husband of NCIS star Pauley Perrette, was booked today on a misdemeanor warrant for violation of a restraining order.

The LAPD Hollywood Division would not confirm that the restraining order was taken out by Perrette herself, or elaborate on the events that unfolded.
