Scott Wolf breaks his silence after estranged wife's shocking arrest drama
Scott Wolf has broken his silence following the shocking 'arrest' of his estranged wife Kelley as he took to social media on Friday.
The 57-year-old Party Of Five alumnus — whose divorce from Kelley was announced shortly before the incident — uploaded a photo to his Instagram stories as he prepared to embark on a trip with his three children.
The actor shares Jackson, 16' Miller, 12; and Lucy, 11, with the his estranged wife, whom he had been married to for 21 years.
Just last week, Kelley was transported to a hospital by Utah County Sheriff deputies while staying at a luxury resort following a 'mental health' episode. She had captured some of the moment via an Instagram Live at the time.
In the latest image uploaded by Wolf, he had taken a snap from behind his kids as they made their way through a terminal inside an airport.
He added text over the image which read: 'On the road with my forever squad,' followed by colorful heart emojis.
Over the past weekend, Scott had an emotional reunion with his son Miller after he touched down in Salt Lake City on Father's Day.
The pair could be seen embracing inside the crowded airport in photos exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com.
It was also the actor's first public appearance since announcing his divorce from Kelley and her hospitalization by law enforcement.
Wolf did not address the drama surrounding his estranged wife as well as their split as he jumped to his Instagram account.
However, Kelley has since made new fiery claims after being released from the hospital, including that she was 'held against her will' just months earlier and that she initiated their separation over a year ago.
She also sparked widespread concern after DailyMail.com obtained 911 audio revealing she was taken away in handcuffs during a disturbing incident at a luxury Utah resort.
According to the recording, Utah County Sheriff's deputies transported her to a hospital following what was described as a serious 'mental health' episode.
After breaking her silence with a bizarre Instagram post showing her hospital band while sitting at a bar - captioned simply 'Hi' and 'God bless us' - Kelley returned to social media with even more incendiary accusations.

After breaking her silence with a bizarre Instagram post showing her hospital band while sitting at a bar - captioned simply 'Hi' and 'God bless us' - Kelley returned to social media with even more incendiary accusations.
In her latest post, she claimed that 'a small but very vocal group' of friends 'had me held against my will,' saying their justification was that they were 'worried' about her.
Her blunt response? 'Wow. F*** them.'
She also doubled down on her separation timeline, writing that she 'initiated' the split from Scott Wolf 'a year ago.'
DailyMail.com has not received a response to its request for comment from Scott Wolf.
Kelley elaborated on what she described as a disturbing intervention attempt by friends, accusing them of overstepping while disguising control as concern.
'They called the cops from a beach town in Florida or somewhere seaside… while sipping cocktails,' she wrote in her Instagram post. 'That's not love. That's control.
'What happened was legal. But it wasn't right,' she continued. 'And it should never be that easy to weaponize concern - especially against women.'
In a separate post, Kelley claimed, 'Apparently, I'm also one of the strongest women a certain mental hospital has ever met.'
She added, 'I was offered medication. I refused every single one. I laid in bed for five days - sober, clear, and calm.'

Addressing the status of her relationship with Wolf, Kelley wrote that she 'initiated a separation almost a year ago' and has been 'trying to file for divorce for months,' blaming the delay on 'legal counsel.'
'Yes, the official petition came from the other party, but let the record show: I've been grieving this marriage for years,' she shared.
Despite the turmoil, Kelley said being single is 'surprisingly great,' and hinted at future possibilities: 'But one day, I might get married again.'
For now, her focus is on healing and family. 'I'll be by the pool. With my kids. Living my actual, beautiful, grounded, powerful life.'
This comes after eerie new details emerged about the shock video of Kelley.
In the clip 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 deputy 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 claimed: '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.'
While Scott has yet to address her abuse allegations, his close pal Billy Bush shut down the claims in a video last week.
Billy began the reel by stating that Wolf was one of his 'very best friends' and expressed, 'Right now there is a video floating around. His wife had Instagram Live on and she's being apprehended by police and they're taking her in.
'And at the end she says, "Scott Wolf has been abusing me." I know both Kelley and Scott very, very well... And I can tell you this. There is zero truth to anything abusive by Scott.'
Bush added that the Party Of Five actor is 'the kindest, sweetest person. He is everything you see and think you know about him when you see him.
'He is all of that and more. And Kelley is getting the help she needs. And I can tell you, I've talked to her myself one-on-one personally about it,' he added.
Toward the end of the clip, the TV host said, 'She's got excellent parents. They're on it. She's a beautiful person. And so is Scott.
'So, just want you to know that and it will unfold but that is the case.'
Authorities also gave their side of the story behind the disturbing footage - and revealed where they took her after she was detained.
The incident unfolded last week on Friday at the Sundance Resort in Sundance, Utah, where Kelley had been staying, according to People.
A press release by local law enforcement said: 'Deputies responded to the Sundance Resort for a report of a female that needed some help.
Upon speaking with the female, our Deputies learned that she had made concerning comments to a family member, and she also made similar comments to our Deputies. For that reason, our Deputies transported the female to a local hospital.'
A spokesperson for the Utah County Sheriff's Office explained further: 'Typically, when we transport somebody in any of our patrol vehicles, they are placed in properly-fitted hand restraints, just for their protection and our protection as law enforcement as well.'
The spokesperson continued: 'So that's what happened today: she was placed in hand restraints, placed into a vehicle, and transported by our deputies to a hospital.'
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 deputies, 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 deputies 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 deputies to hand her the phone so that she could switch it off on her own.
She later posted an Instagram Stories photo of her personal effects laid out in front of her, including a handbag, a Gatorade bottle and a baseball cap.
'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 follows Scott's statement on the divorce, which he issued after Kelley announced their split in a cryptic Instagram post days before.
Before the divorce announcement, Kelley had also posted a cryptic message to her followers about wanting to 'tell the truth' and feeling 'misunderstood.'
She tied the knot with the Doc actor back in 2004, and the estranged couple celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary last month in May.

Naomi Watts and daughter Kai Schreiber pose up a storm at Armani Beauty event after model teen came out as transgender
Naomi Watts and her daughter Kai Schreiber posed up a storm as they attended a Armani Beauty celebrating Luminous Silk Foundation and Concealer. The King Kong actress, 56, and her model daughter, 16, who she shares with actor Liev Schreiber, were among the stars at Wednesday's event, held at Twenty Three Grand in New York City. Naomi looked effortlessly chic as she donned a navy sparkly smock dress, featuring a boat neckline and draping fabric with stilettos. She was joined by her daughter Kai, who had her modelling debut at Paris Fashion Week for Valentino earlier this year. For the occasion, Kai wore a black high-neck sweater covered in multicoloured polka dots with a matching skirt. Naomi was seen helping her daughter with her make-up in sweet snaps from the event. Kai, who is transgender, recently spoke in-depth about how she had struggled 'with gender identity from a young age' and 'always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman, like Marilyn ' Monroe. She told Interview Magazine she has studied how people in the transgender community navigated stormy waters in the past. The daughter of the Ray Donovan star, 57, and two-time Oscar nominee, 56, named figures she found inspirational 'as a young trans girl' navigating life through turbulent times for the community. 'I'm always going to look up to the older generation of transgender people, especially in fashion,' Kai told the magazine. 'People like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, Colin Jones, and so many more,' Kai said. 'It's so great that there's a strong community of us in the fashion world; it's really a doll takeover.' The nepo baby said that she had a breakthrough earlier this year when working for the fashion house Valentino. 'That job made me realise, 'OK, this is what I want to do,' Kai said. ' I want to be a supermodel. Period.' Kai opened up to the publication about what she's been doing in terms of honing her craft as a regular presence on the catwalk. Naomi looked effortlessly chic as she donned a navy sparkly smock dress, featuring a boat neckline and draping fabric with stilettos 'I've been practising my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film,' Kai said. Kai also opened up about her fashion preferences in the wide-ranging chat with the publication - joking she's 'basic, but in a chic way.' Kai said of her couture choices: ' I love my low-rise jeans and black cardigan. That's my go-to outfit. I love when people have their own personal style. 'If you're presenting yourself in a unique, cool way, people are immediately drawn in and want to know more. If every person was walking around in the same outfit, fashion wouldn't be a thing.' Kai said that 'the world [is] more fun' with fashion in the mix. She took to Instagram to thank those involved with the feature as she said: 'I can't put into words how excited & grateful I am for this project. Thank you to the Interview team for the opportunity, and thank you Dara & everyone for making it such a fun and comfortable experience for me on set.' Naomi said on her Instagram that Kai was 'continuing to kill it' and that she was 'proud' of her. Kai has received public support from both of her famed folks, as Liev told Variety last month about what he felt was the most impactful moment as the parent of a trans child. 'Kai was always who Kai is,' The Manchurian Candidate actor said. 'But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns. 'To be honest with you, it didn't feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long.' The Perfect Couple star continued: 'Kai is such a fighter. It's important that she goes, "Hey, I am trans," and, "Look at me."'

Was this divorced American diva the original Meghan Markle? The REAL story of the most divisive person to ever marry into the royal family...
An American divorcee. A dazzling wardrobe. A royal romance that ends in exile. Denied the use of her HRH title, accused of corrupting a prince, cast as a threat to the very survival of the British monarchy and relentlessly vilified by the press. No, not Meghan Markle - but you'd be forgiven for thinking so.

My cultural awakening: I watched Sleepless in Seattle and realised I had to cancel my wedding
When my boyfriend proposed, I said yes – not because I was madly in love with him, but because it seemed like the correct thing to do. We'd been together for eight years and all of our friends were getting engaged; my life felt like a constant cycle of hen nights. I knew something was wrong but I suppressed it. Sometimes I'd get these flashes of anxiety. I'd worry about the fact that I no longer felt excited when my boyfriend walked into a room, or that we didn't have sex any more – but I was 28, which at that point felt ancient to me, and I was frightened of being alone. I told myself I was experiencing nothing more than a classic case of pre-wedding jitters. I threw myself into buying the big white dress and designing the invitations. I planned to stash a bottle of gin in the church, so I could have a shot to calm my nerves before I walked down the aisle. About three months before the wedding, I was home alone one evening and decided to watch Sleepless in Seattle. It was my father's favourite film – he loved the classic jazz soundtrack and Nora Ephron's dialogue. It had been on in the background a lot during my childhood and teenage years, so I was expecting it to be a comfort watch; something to almost lull me to sleep. I'd remembered the film as being about a man (Tom Hanks) and his cute son grieving the death of his wife. But that night I interpreted the film completely differently. I was sucked into the perspective of Meg Ryan's character, Annie, who is engaged to a perfectly decent but slightly boring man – and deciding whether or not to call it off. I'd always seen Sleepless in Seattle as being about bereavement, but that night on my sofa, it felt like a film about one woman's decision whether to get married, and play it safe, or give it all up and take a leap. There's a scene towards the beginning where Annie is trying on a wedding dress at her family home. Her mother is talking about the 'magic' she felt when she first laid eyes on her own husband, and Annie's face just goes completely blank. You can tell she doesn't feel anything close to 'magic' with Walter, her fiance. Watching that scene, I felt the familiar squirm of panic, but I squashed it down. I did love my boyfriend, in a way. We trusted each other and were good friends and he cared for me. I told myself: I'm not going to be the person who has the magic, and I'm OK with that. I'm going to be the person who has a sensible, kind husband, and children, and a life that is beautifully mapped out. But as the film went on I began to feel this overwhelming sadness. My wedding venue was booked, the deposit was paid – but watching Annie agonise over whether or not to leave Walter, I began to realise that the way I was feeling about my own wedding couldn't be ignored. Right at the end, Annie tells Walter about her doubts, and he has a line that illuminated everything for me: 'I don't want to be someone that anyone settles for. Marriage is hard enough without bringing such low expectations into it, isn't it?' I realised, listening to that, how selfish I was being. My boyfriend was good and generous. He didn't deserve to be 'settled' for. He didn't deserve to have a wife who had to get drunk to force herself down the aisle. That night when he came home, I said I wanted to postpone the wedding. I wasn't brave enough to outright ask to call it off, but he told me that if I didn't want to marry him now, he didn't want to be with me. I like to think perhaps he was having doubts too, but wasn't able to voice them – I hope that's true. I emailed all of our guests and told them that the wedding was cancelled, and people were generally supportive. I remember being so grateful that I didn't have to 'face' anyone. I could call the whole thing off while hiding behind a screen. I told my father that Sleepless in Seattle had inspired me to make the decision, but I kept that part a secret from everyone else in my life. He understood, but I suspected other people would think I'd gone mad. I spent about 11 years being single after the breakup, so I definitely had to face my fear of being alone. Often it was hard, feeling like a spare part at my friends' parties, but as I got older, being 'coupled up' and safe lost some of its allure. I saw the cracks in the marriages around me, and I realised coupledom doesn't actually insulate you from loneliness. I am married now, but I don't completely buy into the idea that there has to be 'magic' in a romantic partnership. I don't believe in the Disneyland, mind-altering, life-completing version of romance – that part of Sleepless in Seattle just doesn't ring true to me. But I still believe you should never settle for anyone. Sign up to Inside Saturday The only way to get a look behind the scenes of the Saturday magazine.
