According to the report, the two had a number of clashes in 2016 when Harmon brought his dog on the sets. His dog bit a crew member and they had to get 15 stitches as a result. This was very unprofessional behavior on Harmon’s side and as a result, Perrette simply decided that enough was enough.

NO I AM NOT COMING BACK! EVER! (Please stop asking?) I am terrified of Harmon and him attacking me. I have nightmares about it. I have a new show that is SAFE AND HAPPY! You’ll love it! #HappyPlace Love y’all!
