Pauley Perrette had a ‘massive stroke’ and discusses being a domestic violence, rape survivor
(Pauley Perrette)
The public hasn’t seen much of former actress Pauley Perrette recently, as after 15 years of co-starring on “NCIS” as the beloved forensics expert Abby Sciuto, the now 52-year-old has retired from acting. But she did take to social media over the Labor Day weekend to share the news that she’s been struggling with serious health issues.
Perrette shared the following video and posting on Twitter with a public that still adores her.
“It’s 9/2
One year ago I had a massive stoke.
Before that I lost so many beloved family and friends,
And daddy
And then
Cousin Wayne
Yet still a survivor after this traumatic life I’ve been given so far…
And still so grateful,
Still so full of faith,
And STILL HERE!”
And during her video posting, she shared even more personal news, stating:
“Yes, I’m still here again, like how many times do I cheat death?”
“I almost died from a hair dye allergy, I have food allergies, I am a domestic violence and a rape survivor, I was assaulted by a crazy homeless person and almost died and I’m still here, and I’m still here. I feel good.”
“I’ve been through a lot in the last two years — things that are harder than having a stroke,” she added. “But I’m still here and I’m so grateful. And thank you, those of you who are my friends. Thank you. God bless you all. I’m still here.”
Perrette’s tweet received a flurry of retweets, likes and replies from fans wishing her well and also sharing their own personal health scares with her.
Prior to her role on “NCIS,” Perrette studied sociology, psychology and criminal science in her undergraduate career, before receiving a master’s degree in criminal science at Georgia State University, according to IMBd. ~ Today
