In a series of tweets, the 49-year-old Perrette said that tabloids are spreading lies about her while she is forced to remain silent by a 'very powerful publicity machine.'

She mysteriously added that 'he did it,' but didn't explain who she was referring to, leaving fans to wonder whether someone from the NCIS cast might have assaulted Perrette.

Later, she tweeted about her support for anti-bullying campaigns and said she knows from personal experience now that safety is essential.

Perrette spoke out before about being stalked and said that her assailant is 'still at it' after 14 years. She works toward having laws amended.

As reported by People, Perrette knows that a restraining order is only a piece of paper and realizes the danger that comes with having one's life on the Internet and on social media.
