Her resignation was the result of developing disagreements with other members of the group especially those with who she directly work with in front of the camera, frequently on a conceptual degree, as Pauley herself subsequently admitted on social media. Perrette has unfortunately remarked that she is unlikely to ever come back to the popular series since she is seeking satisfaction somewhere else.
