I only watched this one for Robert ;)

Day 19: Chris Noth in “Bad Apple”

[inthisroomofsilence]

Look, we get it. YOU are not happy and your fellow Ellick shippers aren’t happy either but guess what, you guys are not the entire NCIS fandom. The show and the other characters have their own fans. So for you (or anyone else) to act like the show should end now, is rude. And ignorant. 

Also, the majority of NCIS fans have been nothing but supportive towards Ellick fans but you guys are now acting like the Tiva/Ziva fans did in 2013. Hell, there was even a campaign. It’s not making anyone want to support the Ellick fans anymore because attitudes like entitlement and selfishness are a huge turn off.

Please don’t be disrespectful towards other fans of NCIS with posts like this. It’s neither fair not is it kind.

not ncis tweeting out the s19 premiere date like people still watch their show 🥲

[inthisroomofsilence]

Can we please talk about this?

First of all, Maria picked 4 pictures and the one of her with Mark is the first we see on her IG. It’s definitely the one picture that comes to people’s minds when thinking about her text.

Maria, in one single post, manages to throw shade back at Pauley Perrette, defend Mark Harmon and the entire cast and crew and share her love with all those people Pauley Perrette has happily and without hesitations thrown under the bus. 

And Maria Bello’s credibility is out of question, unlike Pauley’s. 

officialmariabello: And that’s a wrap for Jack Sloane @ncis_cbs !!! I’ve learned many things on this journey for the last three and a half years. I learned about commitment and community. I’ve learned that the woman I am enjoys process over product. I’ve never worked with a kinder, more generous group of people. I only had the privilege of standing by Dom’s side during cancer because my producers worked so hard to make sure I was there for every treatment. I made a speech today for our crew. Though in our business, like many, there are quite a few assholes - there is not one on the set of NCIS - in front of or behind the camera. Only a profoundly decent group of people who care more about each other and the world in general than what is in it for them. I understand why this show after 18 years is the most watched in the world - you must all feel our love. Keep watching. I have a feeling there will be many more years to come. Thank you to all of my pals at NCIS and to all of our fans. I am truly grateful.

So... just leaving this here so everyone can see what a liar she is!

[inthisroomofsilence]

I think someone is having problems with her lies...

Wasn’t it on Twitter where she mentioned that she was raped by a high profile football player or something like that? Now it suddenly turned into a gang rape?

FYI: Being raped is a horrible thing and it pisses me off when someone makes up shit for attention. Millions of women and men from all over the world have to deal with such life changing and destroying nightmares. How anyone can make up a claim of rape is beyond me.

And with Pauley’s ever changing stories, it’s hard to believe a thing she says. So yeah, she has once again messed up her lies, changed another story of hers and people once again fall for it.

[inthisroomofsilence]

“ Lauren Holly wasn’t working on NCIS at the time but has talked multiple times about how Mark bullied and assaulted her too. Mark has a track record of being very calculated, setting things up in advance etc - he tends to bully people he pretended to be close friends with (often for many years) so their claims seem less credible and spent many years setting up a situation to get Bellisario fired.”

Here’s the link to YOUR post:  https://paulxyperrette.tumblr.com/post/189539084156/sad-that-you-believe-pauleys-lies-and

You still said you watched an interview that LH did, on either of your blogs. So, if it was in a magazine you would have said “you read”, not watched. You watch videos but read magazines. Also, I have asked for you to provide proof of your claims but I’m still waiting for anything. Show us where LH talked about MH.

Glad to called you and your anon out on your contradictions and outright lies once again. Have a wonderful day, LIAR!

Does that person realise your post is still up? And so is their comment. We can all see you never said there was a video. They just look like an idiot now.

It’s what they do. Don’t even worry about it. I gave them the benefit of the doubt but now it’s just funny.

[inthisroomofsilence]

Are you serious? Like, for real? You SAID you saw an interview that LH did. Now somebody told you about her experience? 

“When Lauren Holly was the female star of the show...” LMAO She was NEVER ‘THE’ female star of the show. There were 3 women. The biggest was Cote de Pablo’s character. Lauren and Pauley were both supporting actors on the show (not sorry to burst yet another bubble of yours). 

And by the way, both Perrette and Holly supported Weatherly. It seems that neither of them has any problem with sexual harassment (physical or verbally) when it’s done by a friend. Which is contradicting since both claim to have been victims of sexual abuse. 

I’m done here. This “conversation” is too ridiculous. It’s just more contradictions. And no, I’m not going to dig for something that LH did. You said such an interview exists, so provide it. I used to love PP but at some point enough is enough. And it’s incredibly sad that her fans are following her every lie and contradiction like brainless wanna be adults instead of looking at actual facts and evidence. It doesn’t take much time since Pauley happily provided the contradictions herself. But taking a close look at Pauley would destory the bubble that her fans are living in, I get it. Stop bashing Harmon and the other victims of Pauley and you won’t get any shit from me. Or you finally manage to produce some real proof for your bashing sessions but since it’s all just lies there won’t be any proof. As I’ve said, I’m done here.

Btw: #Truth wins my ass. Neither of those two attention seekers would see the truth if it was biting them.

Uh … wow

So my inbox currently looks like this:

So, obviously, I won’t be replying to all those individually. I will attempt to answer all those questions in this post though.

First. Maria leaving has only been reported by media, not confirmed by NCIS or Maria herself yet. So it might not be true. But for the sake of this post, let’s assume it is.

The easiest question to answer here is will I keep watching NCIS once she’s gone. The answer is no. Of course not. I do like some of the other cast members but I don’t like them enough to keep watching a show whose culture I simply don’t agree with. (If MH were to leave, there’s some speculation that he might only have a few seasons left lol, and the show were to continue I might consider coming back to the fandom, but that’s not what we’re talking about here).

I want to make VERY clear. I do NOT know why Maria is leaving. I do know the showrunners had the first 4 episodes already written (cause of COVID shortening last season) and some plans for the new season. I also know a few months ago Maria was saying how much she wanted to come back and wanted the show to be renewed. What is not clear is whether something happened that made Maria change her mind. Or whether the showrunners changed their plans and are forcing her to leave.

I have no idea if anything has happened between MH (or any other cast/crew member) and Maria. BUT I do believe she is the type of person who would come forward or do something about it if it had. That might not be until after her last episode airs but I do truly believe that if someone hurt or threatened her, she will not let it go or let them get away with it. So I guess only time will tell.

Am I happy she’s leaving? It all depends on why she’s leaving. If this was a CBS/showrunner decision then no I’m not. If this is what Maria wants then I’m happy as long as she’s happy and safe. But I’ll still be a bit sad not to have my fave on my tv consistently. And if it was a bullying issue then I’m furious, but happy that she’s looking after herself. So yeah, can’t really decide how I feel (or at least not anything beyond sad that she won’t be on tv for a while) until I know more information. Also I know she’ll get lots of other jobs, I’m not getting the vibe that she wants to retire, so I’m not super worried or anything.

Hope that clears everything up 😊

[inthisroomofsilence]

I could reply to everything now but I’m not... BUT: In a previous post of yours you said you saw an interview of Lauren Holly takling about Mark’s bullying. I asked for the video. I was blocked. Now you suddenly talk about friends who gave you information. I would love to actually type a long reply but I’m too busy shaking with laughter because of your statements. You remind me of Pauley herself, contradicting herself at any given chance. That’s all. Have a nice day.

Uh … wow

I seem to be unlocked xD LOL Interesting to me that I had been blocked in the first place since I never contacted the admin of this blog directly. I replied to a few posts asking for proof but I guess that anyone not blindly believing either PP or her fans is a hater and a troll.

Anyways, now to my reply:

You, my dear, are truly busy trying to keep the drama going, aren’t you? Instead of replying with a simple “I don’t know why Maria is leaving” you are presenting your followers with suggestions, putting ideas into their heads. I’m not sure if that was your intention all along just so you can get more attention and support Perrette’s smear campaign or if you were truly so naive to think that it wouldn’t hurt to put out some very biased and uninformed suggestions.

“(If MH were to leave, there’s some speculation that he might only have a few seasons left lol, and the show were to continue I might consider coming back to the fandom, but that’s not what we’re talking about here).” Sorry to burst your bubble but if the main star of the show were to leave, the show would be over. And it’s a classic move of a bully, by the way.

Instead of acting a like the adult you are, you grabbed those anonymous asks (if you didn’t send them yourself, one never knows) and just went along with more rumors and accusations. Are you that desperate to make people believe in Perrette that you are using Maria Bello for your agenda? That’s desperate. And sad. And such a Pauley thing. Who cares if innocents are being dragged into something that has nothing to do with them, as long as the poor woman with the victim/hero complex has her little army of girls doing her bidding.

In a different post you comment on how racist, mysogenic and homophobic the show is. Please do some thinking and get yourself some informations about the crew before you present Pauley’s LIES as facts.

And last but not least: You tagged this post, you wanted for everyone to see it, not just your followers. Feel free to block me again for calling you out once again. But do yourself the favor and don’t call me a Harmon fan because I’m not. He was never my favorite. He still isn’t and never will be. I know Pauley’s little follower love to make up shit just to discredit the man’s name even more. Newsflash: It will not give Pauley any credibility. It will not give you any credibility. Especially since neither you nor Pauley can deliever any sort of proof for the things you said in the past.

Have a nice day.

Same here. I wasn’t a die hard fan but i did like her a lot. I pray that one day some journalists won’t be too scared or intimidated by her fixers and legal team so they expose everything she has done to blind the world.

If you had asked me years ago if I would ever ashamed for liking Pauley Perrette, my answer would’ve been “no”. Today, the answer is YES!

I’m ashamed that I liked her. That I thought she was a good person, someone young women could look up to. The truth hurts and it frustrates me that she gets away with all those obvious lies about the men and women she attacked in the past years. It’s a shame, really.

Another round of Pauley Perrette’s bullshit

All tweets from July 21st 2020!

So, Pauley read an article about the abuse by a show runner on a different CBS show. Pauley mentions that she knew of this guy’s abuse for a long time but did nothing even though some of her closest friends works on that show. Pauley remained silent about it UNTIL someone else fought the guy. And then she has the gall to expect rewards for knowing of this show runner’s behavior and doing nothing. 

She remained silent over actual abuse but screams and shouts over alleged abuse in form of physical and psychological abuse. 

2018: in secret DMs to fans she called Harmon a psychopath, bully & narcisst 

2019: she openly accuses Harmon of physical assaults, punching & shoving her around, bodychecking her

2020: Add to that she also now claims Harmon is a misogynist, homophobe and racist

So far, she could NOT prove her allegations. Not a single one. So, the question is what more could she accuse Harmon off next year? There’s a pattern. With every year she adds more accusations towards him.

Despite: Knowing that Harmon is friends with people of color and gay couples in real life. Despite having shown support towards a former make-up artist from NCIS when she was fighting breast cancer. He collected donations, doubled it and brought it to her in person. Someone else made that public, not Harmon.

Let’s move on: She is seeking symphathy by bringing her dead mother into this. Her mother died when Pauley was a child, not an adult trying to make a career in Hollywood.

Also, she claimed that she hadn’t paid attention to the abuse happening since day one. So, she really isn’t the humanitarian she wants the world to believe she is when she willingly and happily ignores bullying and so on as long she gets lots of money and publicity.

And another thing: This is the woman who cheered her now ex-boyfriend Thomas Arklie on when he called a straight man a “faggot”. So much for supporting the LGBTQ campaign.

Now, several fans with accounts on Twitter, Tumblr and even Instagram have made it public that a great bunch of crew members has reached out to them with proof of Pauley’s wrong doings and bad behavior on set. She was caught on camera verbally and from what I understand, also physically attacking members of the crew and cast. Does that sound like the cast and crew are supporting her? Secretly or not? Personally, I haven’t seen videos or photos but I’ve been chatting with one member of the crew who’s very happy to be rid of the “entitled, selfish liar”. It speaks volumes about how people that spend working with her for over 10 years view her behavior. I have heard stories of how she refused to work with certain guest stars, how she threw tantrums when she didn’t get her wishes. I could go on. I don’t need to see any videos. I’ve seen enough of her lies, accusations and the damage those caused to the individuals she has targeted in the past.

Let’s not forget: Harmon and Cote de Pablo were both being trashed by her in public. The private DMs about her thoughts of Cote had been released. Part of me hopes that someone soon will leak the other DMs she wrote to fans talking badly of Sasha Alexander, Lauren Holly, Jennifer Esposito, Maria Bello, Emily Wickersham and Diona Reasonover. Or the ones of her rather digusting thoughts of David McCallum, Michael Weatherly, Sean Murray, Brian Dietzen, Rocky Carroll, Duane Henry and Wilmer Valderrama and even Donald Bellisario.

You see, she has trashed all of them, in private or in public. Pauley Perrette thinks everyone should believe her. Everyone questioning her, seriously very contradicting, accusations is called a “troll” or “hater”. 

But why should we believe her words and not doubt them? Because she is white? Because she is a woman? Because she is a white woman? That’s right. We are not to demand any sort of proof for her allegations, past, present and future. She won’t stop now. Or at some point. For as long as she has those brainless and mindless fans believing every single one of her sob or hero stories, she won’t stop. More is to come.

And the absolute nerve of her to state that she had to use her own money to pay for lawyers is astonishing. It really is. All over the world people fear losing their jobs because of the pandemic, people are struggling to survive in every aspect of their daily lives: monetary and healthwise. For someone with millions of $$$ in her account, she comes across as a whiny and uncaring bitch.

And it doesn’t matter if her entitlement and need to make everything about herself take away the spotlight and attention from REAL abuse and tragedies as long as it brings her the attention she craves.

Last but not least, she is once again throwing shade at the entire cast and crew of NCIS whilst claiming she wants to protect them. Weird, isn’t it? And then she has to drag people into this that weren’t around, that only know one side of the story. Attention seeking behavior right in front of our eyes.

And never ever forget that she was/is close friends with Les Moonves and has Harvey Weinstein’s fixers on her payroll. Remember that she had no problem to throw Eliza Dushku under the bus because Pauley, at least for the public pretends to, like the guy.

And in a different recent tweet of hers she claimed herself to have been a model since the age of 2... well, didn’t she always say that she never intended to become famous? That she kind of accidently stumbled into acting? Which one is it? Like, she hates all food and that humans need it to live and in the next week food is yummy and she only hates some foods, not all.

So, I will say it loudy: I stand with every single man she has accused in the past. I stand with every single woman she has accused in the past. I stand with the cast and crew of NCIS who had to deal with her bad behavior for 15 years because she had the ear of Moonves.

[inthisroomofsilence]

The old showrunner left because of Mark. Lauren Holly also accused Mark on Twitter and backed up Pauley. Also Sasha heavily implied something happened to her too. I think Pauley stayed so long cause Mark didn’t use to be like that with her - I think it was only a year to a year and half between when the bullying started and when she left. Also as for people saying he’s nice, smart bullies don’t bully everyone, that way there’s plenty of people to stand up for them.

Oh, well, fuck. 

I think I thought, well, more liked hoped, because of how highly Maria has spoken about him that hopefully, Pauley’s accusations were false. And as Cote was on the show for 8 years and season 18 will be Emily’s 8th year as well…I don’t know…I just hoped because even if he hasn’t done something to them, 3 people is a pattern not just coincidence and I wouldn’t want to work for/with a man like that. 

Ugh. 

[inthisroomofsilence]

Don’t believe Pauley. She has twisted things so badly over the years. And she was caught lying more than once, too so don’t take her allegations serious. She also mocked victims of rape and the survivors of 9/11 with her fake claims on an airport. She stops at nothing to make herself look like an angel.

Hi, I was wondering what your thoughts on the whole Pauley/Mark thing are? Do you tend to believe her or not? (No hate, just curious)

Tbh I don’t really keep up with cast stuff and I don’t really know what happened, mainly because I tried not to think about it as I didn’t want to believe Pauley was making false claims but also didn’t want to think Mark had really terrified someone to that extent. 

However, since she left Pauley has constantly made digs at the show and if it was really as bad as she’s making it out to be why would she have stayed for 15 years? 

Also, surely there would be more claims if Mark wasn’t a nice person. He’s like 67, been on NCIS for 17 years and has done a range of other acting work. It’s highly unlikely that someone else wouldn’t speak out (Especially after Pauley’s claims). If he was bad I feel they’d also go through cast members quicker as people wouldn’t want to work with him but everyone (Apart from Jennifer Esposito) has stayed on the show for many seasons. 

Like I want to believe Pauley because people always have a tendency to believe the man instead of the woman but I’m leaning more towards her lying. It sucks but I’ve just separated the actress from the character so I can still enjoy Abby aha. 

[inthisroomofsilence]

Hi there, sorry for using your ask to set some things straight but it has to be done because Pauley’s fans just love to twist the truth.

1. Harmon asked the network for support regarding the way Bellisario (old showrunner) ran the show and production. They worked up to 20 hours a day, 6 days a week, only got their scripts on the day of the shooting. Harmon never asked for Bellisario to be fired because he liked and respected the guy. When Bellisario refused to make any changes, the network made the decision to fire him because Sasha Alexander had already left because of those reasons.

2. Let’s continue with Sasha. Bellisario and Sasha both have said/confirmed that Sasha wanted out because of the heavy schedule. Bellisario told her that if she wants to leave then her character has to be killed. 

3. Lauren Holly, according to Perrette, only accepted the role on NCIS because she was after Harmon. Since I don’t believe anything Perrette said (about any of the members of the cast) I doubt that because Holly knew that Harmon was/is happily married. Several members of the crew have let it out over the years that Holly was bored because Jenny didn’t get many huge storylines. After she left, she has said in interviews on TV that she wasn’t happy with the fact that Gibbs and Jenny did not become a couple on screen again. My questions is: If he was so terrible, why did she want to play his lover on screen? Those scenes would have included at least some kissing scenes or scenes similar to the flashbacks we got of them.

4. Pauley Perrette is well documented false accuser and has lied on more than one occasion. She framed and still frames her ex-husband with accusions of stalking (she was caught stalking him), assaults (he allegedly branded the first letter of his name into her skin but there were no scars or anything), rape and much more. She set him and his wife of over 10 years up more than once. She got the judge that ruled over her cases against the ex-husband a job on NCIS. Notice that the ex-husband also used to work in the music department of NCIS.

Her ex-boyfriend Daniel Rivas had lost his career because she slandered him and claimed to have caught him in bed with his own sister. After he offered his testimony to her ex-husband, Pauley got him a job on.... NCIS.

Julie Klausner lost her job because of Perrette. Her former best friend was killed. After the friend, who had matching tattoos with Perrette, agreed to testify against Pauley in one of her many cases against the ex-husband her house was attacked but she survived. She moved in with her parents and then bang, another attack and the former best friend was dead.

A homeless man was arrested and prisoned because of her allegations. All of her statements regarding that incident had changed constantly and were very contradicting. But of course when she showed up in front of the camera only a couple of hours after the attack, her face showed zero swelling or bruises after she had been punched repeatedly in the face by the psychotic guy with murder in his eyes. No documents of his trial or anything. No witnesses.

I could go on forever but the biggest thing is that she claimed that de Pablo & Emily only got their jobs on NCIS because of the famous casting couch. She stated that Murray, Henry and Esposito got the jobs either because of family relations or pity. She called Weatherly a pathetic drunk loser. I could go on forever since her fans were so nice to present their entire conversations in forms of screenshots to me.

Also, several people that worked on the show have stated that Pauley was the reason for a lot of drama behind the scenes because she refused to work with certain people.

Pauley’s fans love to twist the truth as much as Pauley herself does. Pauley’s good friends with Les Moonves who supported and protected her. She has Weinstein’s people on her payrole. She was caught on tape (audio and vision) admitting lots of things and even lying even more.

Be careful which side you pick. None of these things are really secrets anymore because Pauley’s lies and manipulations have been documented and published over the years. 

The old showrunner left because of Mark. Lauren Holly also accused Mark on Twitter and backed up Pauley. Also Sasha heavily implied something happened to her too. I think Pauley stayed so long cause Mark didn’t use to be like that with her - I think it was only a year to a year and half between when the bullying started and when she left. Also as for people saying he’s nice, smart bullies don’t bully everyone, that way there’s plenty of people to stand up for them.

Oh, well, fuck. 

I think I thought, well, more liked hoped, because of how highly Maria has spoken about him that hopefully, Pauley’s accusations were false. And as Cote was on the show for 8 years and season 18 will be Emily’s 8th year as well...I don’t know...I just hoped because even if he hasn’t done something to them, 3 people is a pattern not just coincidence and I wouldn’t want to work for/with a man like that. 

Ugh.

Potent minimalist art sends a strong message about police and vigilante brutality in America

Journalist and artist Shirin Barghi has created a gripping, thought-provoking series of graphics that not only examines racial prejudice in today’s America, but also captures the sense of humanity that often gets lost in news coverage. Titled “Last Words,” the graphics illustrate the last recorded words by Brown and other young black people — Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant and others — who have been killed by police and vigilantes in recent years.

Let us not forget their voices

[inthisroomofsilence]

Remember folks, Cote de Pablo agreed to come back to the show because she thought this would be a ‘complex and fun story line’.

[inthisroomofsilence]

I’m really surprised and quite shocked today. I’m new to the fandom and Tumblr and since I’ve joined this place, I’ve seen a little bit of negativity here and there but it wasn’t something that made me feel like “get the hell out of here”. But going through the NCIS tag today made me feel like that. And it hurts.

Why are people acting the world ends? Why are people ranting, complaining and demanding the show to end? I love NCIS, I love Ziva and I’m one of the many Tiva shippers and while I also would have prefered to see Ziva and Tony reuniting on screen, preferably with Tali, I don’t understand how people can actually act like they did/do in the tags.

There have been times when I was upset with a certain storyline or anything, I get that we all sometimes deal with emotions that have a very wide range from happieness to sadness and so on. And I think it’s okay if we feel those emotions for fictional characters but to go as far as some have done since 17x11 aired?

Going through the tag and reading certain things is really not healthy. I’ve seen people who are not into Tiva say that we shippers are obsessed and entitled. Until today, I never understood why anyone would say those things about Tiva shippers. Now I do. While I understand the wish for our favorite characters to be happy, I don’t think it’s something we are owed. We all know from real life that not everyone gets a happy ending or justice. And NCIS is a show that is mostly fictional, it also deals with a lot of real life issues (terrorists for example) and we shouldn’t forget about it.

But we do know that Ziva has her happy ending. She is free of her past and the dangers that sent her into hiding. She can finally go home to her man and daughter. I would have prefered to see their reunion on screen but this time, there is nothing that stops Tony and Ziva from getting together, there is nothing that stops Ziva being the mother to Tali she wants to be. Without the danger of her past coming back. So in the end, the happy ending did happen. And that is what the return of Ziva was about. Ziva had the team and Gibbs to help her deal with the dangers while Tony took Tali into hiding and made sure she’s okay. Because Tali is the most important person to Ziva, she’s her everything and Ziva risked her own life to make sure Tali would be safe. Always.

Now they are together. And we know that Senior is coming back this season. I get that Michael is busy with his schedule for Bull and his family and Robert might be having other projects or engagements so neither of them had the time for an appearance in 17x11. But we know they all have their happy ending.

Also, NCIS really is an ensamble show. True, some characters get more storylines and screentime than others but Ziva - in the 17th season - is a guest star. Her first 3 episodes this season were heavily about her and most of the main characters had to take the back seat. Which is in all honesty not fair. Neither to the actors, the characters nor their fans. It was absolutely okay that this episode was not all about Ziva. 

How many people were complaining we didn’t get to see Ziva interacting with Sloane, for example? How we didn’t get enough scenes of Ziva with this or that character. We finally got that in this episode. We also got to see Ziva struggleing with her emotions and fears. She got to say goodbye to her old team and the new people that have come to mean a lot to her, too. 

I guess I’m just trying to wrap my head around all this negativity when we have actually been given and blessed with a lot this season in regards to Ziva. 

It bothers me that other NCIS fans think of Tiva fans as entitled, obsessed and demanding and I hope they know that not every Tiva fan is like that. 

Every character and pairings has their fans and there isn’t a single character or ship that is more important that the others. One look through the tags told me what this fandom is missing: respect! Respect for the writers, actors, crew, producers, characters and the fandom.
