Alert – Scott Wolf’s estranged wife appears to get ARRESTED in disturbing video after shocking split

Scott Wolf’s estranged wife Kelley appeared to get taken into police custody – days after she announced their split following 21 years of marriage.

The shock incident was inadvertently captured on Instagram Live, although the screen was black through most of the footage until Kelley’s face was briefly seen at the end along with those of two policemen.

Her voice was clear as she insisted that she would ‘go on my own,’ before one of the officers was heard asking: ‘You got that arm?’ followed by what seemed to be the sound of handcuffs clicking shut.

A cop assured her she was ‘not going to jail,’ while adding that she ‘made some comments to your dad, and comments to people that concern – are concerning.’

Kelley upbraided the officers to be ‘ashamed’ of themselves, claiming: ‘I think this is shameful and Scott Wolf has been abusing me and now you’re abusing me more.’ There is no indication that these allegations are true. It is unclear what Kelley meant by ‘abuse.’

As the video went viral, Kelley posted to her Insta Stories saying she had been ‘taken against my will,’ while insisting: ‘I am compliant, calm and respectful, and hopefully this is all sorted very quickly.’

DailyMail.com has contacted Scott’s representatives for comment. 

Scott Wolf’s estranged wife Kelley appeared to get taken into police custody in a disturbing video – days after she announced their split following 21 years of marriage

On Tuesday, Kelley, 48, shared the emotional update with her followers, writing, ‘It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage’ (Kelley and Scott in 2023)

The Utah County Sheriff’s Office said its deputies responded to a report of a female in need of assistance at the local Sundance Resort on Friday.

Kelley was determined to have made ‘concerning comments to a family member,’ which she then iterated to the responding officers, prompting her to be brought for evaluation to a local hospital, the sheriff’s department told TMZ.

Early in the footage, Kelley could be heard saying: ‘Oh my God, this is not happening! Fine, I’ll go. I’ll go on my own. Please, I’ll go on my own!’ 

‘You got that arm?’ said one of the officers, and a noise that sounded like handcuffs being applied was then distinctly audible, as Kelley said: ‘Wow. Wow.’

She lambasted the officers: ‘This is shameful, gentlemen. Look at this. Look at this woman. This is shameful. Be ashamed of yourselves, gentlemen.’

One of the policemen said: ‘You’re not going to jail,’ followed by another sentence that was drowned out as Kelley, a life coach, snapped: ‘I know what I’m doing. I’ve done this. This is my job. Shame on all of you.’

‘You’ve made some comments to your dad, and comments to people that concern – are concerning,’ explained one of the officers.

Kelley then directed their attention to the fact the exchange was being recorded on her phone, saying: ‘You might wanna turn this off. It’s on. Would you like to turn it off? You want me to turn it off?’

She clarified for the officers that she ‘didn’t mean to’ stream the incident, and one of the policemen offered: ‘I can turn it off if you’d like me to,’ to which she said: ‘Please turn it off. Please.’

By the end of the video, Kelley was finally visible, asking the officers to hand her the phone so that she could switch it off on her own. 

Kelley later posted an Insta Stories photo of her personal effects laid out in front of her, including a handbag, a Gatorade bottle and a baseball cap.

Kelley posted to her Insta Stories saying she had been ‘taken against my will,’ while insisting: ‘I am compliant, calm and respectful, and hopefully this is all sorted very quickly’

‘This is horrible. I have been taken against my will. Please check in on my kids. Also… I am happy!! Happier than I have ever been,’ she wrote. ‘I have NO idea why or how this is happening in AMERICA.’

Kelley added: ‘I am compliant, calm and respectful, and hopefully this is all sorted very quickly. In the meantime, be kind to each other. This is one of the darkest things I’ve ever experienced.’

The astonishing episode comes following Scott’s statement on the divorce, which he issued after Kelley announced their split in a cryptic Instagram post.

On Tuesday, Kelley, 48, shared the emotional update with her followers, writing, ‘It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage.’

She continued, ‘This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children.’

The couple—who met in 2002 and married two years later—share three children: Jackson, Miller, and Lucy.

Just hours after Kelley’s post, the Party of Five star, 57, confirmed the news in a statement to People, revealing that he had initiated the split.

‘After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,’ he said.

The astonishing episode comes two days after Scott broke his silence after Kelley announced their split in a cryptic Instagram post; Scott seen in May 

‘Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter.’

Both Scott and Kelley have publicly indicated that their focus remains on protecting their family as they move through this new chapter. 

In her initial Instagram post, Kelley opened up about her emotional state, speaking of ‘healing’ and embracing ‘freedom’ as she steps into the future. 

She also offered a heartfelt tribute to her estranged husband, writing, ‘Scott Wolf is one of the best fathers I’ve ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with. 

‘He is kind, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful in spirit.’

Though she made clear she wouldn’t be discussing the reasons behind the split publicly, Kelley expressed peace with how she’s handled the situation. 

‘While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I’ve done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion,’ she wrote.

She added that she and Scott remain committed to raising their children with love and stability. 

‘After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,’ he said; (seen in 2016)

‘We both look forward to an extraordinary life centered around the most extraordinary children. My priority has always been their wellbeing—and my own healing. That will never change.’

Kelley ended the emotional message with a request for privacy and a message of quiet strength: ‘I am stepping into a chapter of peace, freedom, and protection—with grace. Thank you to the many friends, family, and professionals who have held space for me with love. 

‘Please respect our privacy during this time. May we all remember: healing isn’t loud. It’s sacred.’

Accompanying her words was an image of a lioness with three eagles flying above.

The announcement of the split followed weeks after Kelley shared a cryptic message hinting at feeling ‘misunderstood’ and a desire to ‘tell the truth.’

In a poem posted to her followers, she spoke about breaking free from old patterns and expectations to find true freedom.

‘I know that may sound bold, but when I read it back, I sat in stillness and wept,’ she wrote. ‘Because somehow, these words came straight from the center of my heart — clear, fierce, and free.’

She encouraged her followers to listen to their inner voice when it’s time to change and to hold onto ‘love and hope and optimism and beauty,’ reminding them, ‘It’s WORTH IT! YOU ARE WORTH IT!’

Kelley acknowledged the challenges she’s faced recently but vowed not to be dragged down by negativity. 

‘I came here to tell the truth. To write with integrity. To live with my whole heart— even when it’s misunderstood,’ she said.

She added that she’s never felt more clear, light, or happy, closing with a hopeful note: ‘I cannot wait to love and live in a way I didn’t even know was possible.’

Just one week prior to Tuesday’s divorce announcement, Scott and Kelley celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary.

The couple did not publicly honor the milestone on their respective social media pages.

The year prior, Kelley made a concerning revelation while paying tribute to Scott on their 20th wedding anniversary.

The reality TV star revealed that she ‘almost walked out’ the relationship early in their engagement when she noticed Scott starting to ‘poke at me, challenge me.’

‘The first few times, I wrote it off as stress or the beginnings of getting to know somebody’s idiosyncrasies,’ Kelley wrote. ‘But then, I had this feeling come back to me that I had in the past. It was a feeling that I didn’t like, and a feeling, I had worked very hard to process, heal, and make sure I noticed when/if it ever came again.

Scott became a household name with Party of Five, which debuted in 1994

‘It was the feeling of self betrayal. It was the feeling of bending myself in order to accommodate another person even when I knew that I had done nothing wrong.’

She said that she previously experienced ‘this feeling’ in a past ‘toxic relationship.’ 

‘My old pattern had returned. I was scrambling to make myself more accommodating, less aggravating, whatever it was that seem to be pushing him away. And then I woke up one morning and said ‘wait a minute’ I’ve done this game before and I’m not doing this again,’ she wrote.

Kelley recalled taking off her engagement ring and handing it to Scott before telling him that she ‘will not stick around while somebody tries to excavate fault in me.’

‘I turned around and walked towards the door. And like I had done before in my life, I was ready to walk out the door with the girl that I promised to save.’

When left with the possibility of losing her forever, Kelley said that Scott stepped up and fought for their relationship. 

‘But, this love story wasn’t over. Scott looked at me, and some thing happened…

‘He said, “You are really going to leave. I believe you. I can see it. I can feel it. And there is no chance in hell I am going to let that happen, so let’s do this,”‘ Kelley recalled.

While announcing the end of their marriage, both Scott and Kelley indicated their focus remains on protecting their family; pictured 2018

‘”Let’s do this hard part, the uncomfortable part. The part where I have to look in the mirror and see my old pattern where I have tried to find fault in somebody in the hopes that I would prove that nobody can really do the hard stuff and stick around.”‘

‘We all know that our patterns come from the things that have happened to us in life. Scott had never been shown what it looked like when LOVE really showed up.’

Kelley said that after that moment she and Scott were ‘more bonded, more connected, and more clear about the promise we were about to make to each other.’

She said their wedding day was full of ‘magic’ and ‘hope’ and that her almost walking out the door ‘set the stage for so many things’ in their 20-year romance.

‘Marriage, friendships, relationships of all kinds are a dance. Never to be a straight line. Never without plot, twists, and highs and lows,’ she wrote.

‘There is one thing we both learned that day, you have to be willing to love yourself the most to truly love somebody else, the most.

And yes, like all amazing love stories, we continue to choose the power of love, over and over,’ Kelley concluded.

Scott also posted in honor of their 20th wedding anniversary, where he admitted that their marriage had been ‘tested these last few years.’ 

‘As blessed as we have been and are, we have surely been tested these last few years. You continue to be the force of light and love and life that makes it all make sense,’ he wrote.

‘You are the rock of our family, and even when pushed beyond what sometimes even feels possible, you have always found a way to hold on to who you truly are, and who and what you love the most.’

He also gushed about their ‘three beautiful children, several generations of fur babies, and what feels like a lifetime of adventures and experiences together.’ 

Scott concluded his heartfelt tribute by expressing hope that his and Kelley’s ‘lights continue to shine together forever.’

Kelley last posted Scott on her Instagram in July 2024 during a couples trip to Las Vegas, Nevada.

Meanwhile, Kelley last appeared on Scott’s Instagram in February as he called her and their daughter Lucy his ‘forever Valentines.’

Scott, who posted a photo of Kelley kissing Lucy’s head, continued: ‘You have my whole heart and always will. The most beautiful, kind, wise, brave, powerful people in my life. I love you so very much,’
