‘NCIS’ Actress Pauley Perrette Describes Being Viciously Assaulted Near Hollywood Hills Home

http://ktla.com/2015/11/13/ncis-actress-pauley-perrette-describes-being-viciously-assaulted-near-hollywood-hills-home-man-arrested/

POSTED 5:47 AM, NOVEMBER 13, 2015, BY JOHN A. MORENO AND SAM RUBIN

Pauley Perrette, the actress best known for her role on the TV series “NCIS,” said she was attacked by a “VERY psychotic homeless man” near her Hollywood Hills home on Thursday, in an incident that she described on Twitter and resulted in the arrest of a 45-year-old suspect.

“I was walking across my street to a new guest house I bought to meet my architect” when she was “jumped” by the attacker, Perrette tweeted shortly before 1:30 a.m. Friday. He “grabbed me so forcefully, pinned my arm, punched me in the nose, forehead repeatedly telling me he was going to kill me,” she added.

“Then he showed me how he was going to kill me,” the tweet continued. “He kept repeating his name: ‘WILLIAM — —, DON’T FORGET THAT!”

The man allegedly punched her again before telling her to “get the f— out of here,” after which she went into shock and collapsed on the sidewalk, she said.

I would have bet any amount of $$$ that this would have been done by a celeb stalker instead, not that that would make this assault any less severe....

She is a strong advocate for the disadvantaged. I imagine she knows the difference.

I realize that its public information available to anybody who would have looked hard enough for it but discretion would have been to omit the precise location as it added nothing to the newsworthiness of the story and they've now given out her private address. (b/c she was assaulted outside her own home)

Way to continue to victimize a victim of a violent crime, KTLA...round of applause for the dumbasses.



Edit: I'm not saying Curt is an idiot in addition to the journalist, I'm saying the journalist is an idiot in both cases for also leading with the less-important and confusing fact of when she tweeted as opposed to the time of the assault.
