The actress also put away a couple of other rumors regarding her departure. The tweet stated that she’s not leaving due to problems with the show’s creative team, and she’s not leaving to start her own skin care line.
Abby has been a TV mainstay for the last 15 years, and it’s time for Perrette to move on to something different.
The biggest question still remains — will fans be as interested in NCIS once Abby’s gone?
New episodes of NCIS air on Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
