Actresses Pauley Perrette and Sasha Alexander have spoken out in support of their former NCIS co-star Michael Weatherly following news that Eliza Dushku was paid $9.5 million by CBS in a secret settlement after accusing Weatherly of harassment. Perrette tweeted a photo of her and Weatherly with matching smiley face stickers, saying she loves, respects, trusts, and knows him. Alexander also voiced her support for Weatherly, calling him a true friend and saying he has a heart as big as they come. Weatherly apologized for his behavior towards Dushku, which led to her departure from Bull, and regrets causing her pain.
