Here’s What Pauley Perrete Has Been Up to Since Leaving NCIS

After 15 successful seasons as the beloved forensic scientist Abby Sciuto on NCIS, Pauley Perrette left the show in 2018 amid a cloud of mystery and controversy. Fans were left wondering what her next move would be.

In 2020, she returned to TV briefly with Broke, a CBS sitcom where she played a single mother. Though the show was canceled after just one season, it marked a significant departure from her NCIS role, showing her versatility as an actress.

Beyond her acting career, Perrette has channeled much of her energy into activism and philanthropy. She’s a passionate advocate for animal rights,  and civil rights, regularly using her platform to raise awareness and support for these causes.

In 2020, Perrette revealed she had suffered a serious health scare, a stroke, but thankfully recovered. She shared her experience publicly to help others understand the warning signs and dangers of strokes.

Now largely retired from acting, Perrette enjoys her life away from the spotlight, focusing on her charitable work, personal passions, and spending time with family and friends. She continues to engage with her loyal fanbase on social media, providing updates and sharing her advocacy efforts.
