It is Mark HarmonYou can leave NCISWith regrets? One report says he’s never gotten over his feud with Pauley Perrette or the disagreements it caused with his wife. Gossip Cop investigates.
‘Bittersweet Ending’
According to OK!Harmon decided to resign. NCIS not out of fatigue, but because he’s racked with guilt. Perrette, his ex-star, remains a rival. Perrette was dismissed after objecting to Perrette’s dog staying on the set. A source says, “She was basically told to shut up or leave, and Mark has a lot of guilt over that. What went down between him and Pauley has haunted him ever since.”
Pam Dawber, Harmon’s wife of 34 years, is sending him on a guilt trip as well. Her career was over for her husband’s sake. She also took care of their family and raised their children. Dawber “demanded that Mark live up to his promise to leave the show,”Insiders say. Harmon seems to be enjoying Montana life, but he is still thinking about his mistakes, such as the one with Perrette. Source: “He hopes one day that she can forgive him.”
What’s Really Going On With Mark Harmon
It’s true that there’s an unresolved tension between Perrette and Harmon. Perrette stated that she was Fearful of HarmonIt was implied that she left the show shortly thereafter “multiple physical assaults.”She still has nightmares about him as of 2019. That’s a bridge that may never be rebuilt.
OK!Harmon appears to have absolved himself of any wrongdoing. He is more like a co-star and less as a bogeyman. The narrative wants to pull at the reader’s heartstrings with its final lines, but reality just isn’t so simple.
Harmon stayed on NCIS for three seasons after Perrette left, so it’s safe to say she had nothing to do with it. Showrunner Steve Binder made it sound like the doors are wide open for his return, so we haven’t seen the last of Agent Gibbs. Gossip CopI have serious doubts that Harmon could be told the truth by this outlet. Dawber is an actress and knows all the details of the industry. She clearly had no problems. Dawber has even appeared in several episodes.
Other ‘NCIS’Myths
OK! Once attempted to give Harmon the nickname Mr. Boring, but that didn’t exactly stick. It also attacked Harmon’s spending habits, calling him a notoriously cheapskate. Why Harmon’s spending habits matter at all is still unknown.
This isn’t even the first time Gossip Cop has seen a tabloid evoke Perrette to explain Harmon’s exit. In 2019, Harmon left years ago. GlobeHarmon was fed up NCIS. The report specifically mentioned difficulties with co-stars. However, Perrette was the only one to publicly air grievances. Perrette’s long since moved on from NCIS, and it’s high time that the tabloids do too.
