Pauley Perrette Responds To CBS Statement About Her 'Multiple Assaults' Claim

CBS ’ acknowledgment of a “workplace concern” involving Pauley Perrette of the crime drama “NCIS”  prompted a response from the actress on Tuesday.

Perrette earlier posted a series of cryptic tweets saying she had endured “multiple physical assaults”  and suggested that may have contributed to her departure from the show. “It’s horrifying,” she wrote. “I left.”

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.”

Perrette responded on Twitter by saying the network “always had my back.”
