Pauley Perrette’s life has completely changed since she left NCIS. All prayers are with her.

Pauley Perrette disclosed that in 2021 she had experienced a stroke.

Fans were initially critical of her new hairstyle after she dyed it, but by 2023, most of them appeared to have changed their minds.

Perrette departed from “NCIS” due to a well-known co-star’s actions.

Pauley Perrette talked about a health issue she had on September 2, 2021 in a social media video that she posted in September 2022. The actress disclosed that it was the first anniversary of her severe stroke.

The famous person talked about how she had avoided death multiple times after suffering from potentially fatal food and hair color sensitivities. She has also overcome domestic abuse, sexual assault, and an almost fatal attack by a deranged homeless person. After two years of suffering, Perrette felt “good” about herself and her rescue pets.

Her appearance has evolved since she left her most well-known position on “NCIS” as forensic specialist Abby Sciuto. Fans first reacted negatively to the actress’s new appearance, but some of them have subsequently softened. The year before she disclosed her stroke, Perrette flaunted her rainbow-colored hair.

Perrette shared a number of pictures of herself on Twitter on November 10, 2021, showing off a new appearance. The celebrity said she looked like a “rainbow” after dyeing her hair, and the pictures showed her hair tousled and damp.

The reviewer expressed their admiration for colorful hair but thought the celebrities’ hair was “ratty.” She was criticized by someone else who stated her appearance was “horrible,” and someone else said it was “awful.”

But, it appeared that after Perrette disclosed that she had experienced a stroke and other hardships in life, people’s opinions had changed. The famous person uploaded multiple photos to Instagram on July 24, 2023. The first photograph featured her looking amazing with rainbow-colored hair.

Perrette declared that she is “terrified of Harmon” and that she fears an attack from him.

In response, someone told her to “keep on being you” since she was “awesome.” Another admirer dubbed her “Aunt P” said the actress was “so beautiful” and professed their love for her, while still another remarked on how well she could make others smile.

The admirer believed that Perrette was content in the remaining photos and advised her to “stay you,” be happy, and keep safe.

After working on “NCIS” for 15 years, Perrette left the show in 2018. According to a number of sources, the actress quit the show in 2016 due to a reported falling out with her co-star Mark Harmon. The two were reportedly having problems behind the scenes.

According to reports, Harmon brought his dog to the scene that year, and it bit a crew worker, requiring fifteen stitches. The fact that they never shared a screen shot during the actress’s farewell episode served as evidence of their falling out.

When Perrette visited the “NCIS” headquarters to bid her coworkers farewell, her co-star’s character only got a letter that he read as she was observing him from the other side of the street.

She declared in a 2019 Twitter post that she would never change her part in the show. Perrette declared that she was “terrified of Harmon” and that she feared an attack from him. The actress claimed that she was having nightmares about the potential catastrophe and that she had moved on to a new, pleasant program that was safe.
