'Real World 'alum Kelley Wolf claims cops took her 'against my will' amid split from Scott Wolf: 'This is shameful'
Kelley Wolf was detained and taken to the hospital by Utah police in the wake of her separation from husband Scott Wolf.
Kelley, an actress, life coach, and author, shared a video on Instagram early Friday with audio that indicated the presence of law enforcement over alleged "concerning comments" that she made to loved ones. An officer could be heard informing the former Real World: New Orleans star that she "is not going to jail" and that they simply wanted to get her "some help."
Only audio could be heard at the start of the blacked-out clip before it transitioned to footage of Kelley being handcuffed by two officers.
"Oh my God, this is not happening," Kelly said in the clip. "Fine, I'll go! I'll go on my own. Wow. This is shameful."
Wolf also claimed that her estranged husband "has been abusing me and now you're abusing me more."
An officer could be heard stating that they've had no contact with Scott Wolf.
Kelley — who had been staying at Sundance Mountain Resort with her children, per content shared on her social media account — claimed in a follow-up Instagram story that she had been "taken against my will."
"Please check in on my kids," Kelley wrote, noting that she is "happier than I have ever been" amid what appears to have been a wellness check. "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."
In a press release obtained by Entertainment Weekly, the Utah County Sheriff's Office did not identify Kelley by name but stated: "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 rep for Kelley and Scott Wolf did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment on Friday.
The incident comes a few days after Kelley, who has also competed on MTV's The Challenge, announced her separation from Scott Wolf, best known for his roles on Party of Five and Everwood, after 21 years of marriage.
"This has been a long, quiet journey for me — rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children," she said. (The two share three children together.) "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."
Scott added in his own statement, "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."

Iconic Los Angeles-based Chinese restaurant and celebrity hangout closing after 42 years
If you've ever visited Los Angeles, chances are good that you spent some time on Sunset Boulevard, the historic Los Angeles street that spans practically the entire length of the city, from the Pacific Ocean to downtown. If you haven't visited L.A., you'll still recognize a particular section of Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, called the Sunset Strip. It's been a scene-stealer in probably 100 movies and is known for its massive billboards. The Strip has always been one of Los Angeles's most dynamic neighborhoods. A blend of luxury hotels, boutique shopping, nightlife, and celebrity appeal, the Sunset Strip has long been a cultural bellwether. What's hot here often sets the tone for greater L.A. For decades, restaurants and bars along this glitzy corridor have attracted tourists and locals alike. But lately, the Sunset Strip has become a cautionary tale about the challenges facing the hospitality industry, especially for independent and legacy restaurants. Changing tastes, rising rents, and post-pandemic behavior shifts have forced many once-thriving spots to close. And one of the Strip's most recognizable dining landmarks is the latest to join the list. Image source: TheChin Chin is closing on Sunset Blvd. after more than 40 years Chin Chin, the upscale Chinese fusion restaurant chain that helped define casual fine dining in L.A. during the 1980s and 1990s, will permanently close its flagship West Hollywood location on July 27, 2025. The announcement came via the restaurant's Instagram on May 31 and caught longtime fans by surprise, as reported in Eater. "After 45 unforgettable years in West Hollywood, we are heartbroken to announce that Chin Chin will be unexpectedly closing its doors at our Sunset Plaza location…" the post read. Related: One of Texas's oldest BBQ joints is closing permanently after 34 years Known for its Chinese chicken salad, potstickers, and California-style dim sum, Chin Chin opened in 1983 and quickly became a favorite among locals, UCLA students and A-list celebrities. Regulars over the years included Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Megan Fox, and Sean Hayes, helping to elevate the brand beyond its menu and into L.A. lore. More Food: Applebee's brings back all-you-can-eat deal to take down Chili'sPopular Mexican chain reveals surprising growth plansStarbucks CEO shares plan for a whole new menu The Sunset Strip neighborhood has seen a surprising amount of turnover in the past year. Earlier in 2025, restaurants including the Den, Hudson House, Le Petit Four, and Rock & Reilly's abruptly shut down. French bistro Tesse closed in late 2024 after a six-year run, adding to the growing list of local casualties. A trend that's hitting legacy L.A. restaurants hard Chin Chin's closure may be the latest, but the closures on Sunset Blvd. collectively speak to larger industry trends. Independent restaurants, particularly those in high-rent, high-profile areas like the Sunset Strip, have been hit hard by rising labor costs, inflation, and shifting consumer preferences. Diners are increasingly looking for experiential, often tech-enabled dining or lower-cost convenience, putting pressure on traditional full-service spots. At the same time, landlords in trendy neighborhoods often favor new concepts that bring media buzz and high-volume traffic. That churn can push out older businesses, even those with strong customer loyalty and decades of history. Related: Beloved local family diner closing after nearly 40 years Still, it's not as if the Strip is dying. A major new food hall, Round 1 Delicious, is set to open with eight high-end Japanese restaurants under one roof. Michelin-starred chef Aitor Zabala also plans to reopen his acclaimed tasting-menu restaurant, Somni, just a few blocks away. These moves signal that while some businesses are being priced out or aged out, the area continues to attract bold new investment. As for Chin Chin, the outpouring of support online suggests the brand still has cultural cachet and plenty of customer demand. The restaurant launched a GoFundMe campaign to support staff and perhaps fund a future relocation. Chin Chin's other locations in Brentwood, Studio City, and Las Vegas will remain open, so you can still get your hands on the best Chinese chicken salad around.

Chasing ICE: The mad scramble to track immigration raids across L.A. County
Giovanni Garcia pulled up to a dusty intersection in South Gate and scoped the scene. It was quiet, just folks walking home from work, but Garcia was among several people drawn there in hopes of bearing witness to one of the federal raids that have unfolded across Los Angeles County in recent days. Just minutes before, several Instagram accounts had posted alerts warning that white pickup trucks with green U.S. Customs and Border Protection markings had been seen near the intersection. With friends loaded into his white Grand Cherokee and a large Mexican flag flying out of the sunroof, this was the sixth day in a row that Garcia, 28, had spent up to 10 hours following such alerts through South L.A.'s immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Fueled by sodas and snacks he picked up at a Northgate Market, Garcia's goal, he said, was to catch Immigration and Customs Enforcement or other immigration agents in the act of detaining people on the street. So far, it had been a fruitless chase. 'I've been doing this for six days. It sucks because I get these alerts and go, but I never make it in time,' said Garcia, a Mexican American U.S. citizen who lives in South Central. Read more: L.A. braces for multiple 'No Kings' demonstrations across the city Saturday Monitoring ICE activity has become a grim pastime for some Angelenos. Apps dedicated to the purpose have popped up, which combine with Citizen, Nextdoor, X and other platforms to create a firehose of unverified, user-generated information about federal movements and operations. Trying to keep up in real time can prove equally exhausting and frustrating. The reports sometimes turn out to be false, and immigration enforcers seem to strike and depart with swift precision, leaving the public little opportunity to respond. It's impossible to determine how many people are engaged in this Sisyphean chase. But they have become a frequent sight in recent days, as anger has grown in response to viral videos of swift and violent apprehensions. A Times reporter and photographer crisscrossed the southern half of L.A. County, encountering Garcia and other ICE chasers in hot pursuit of federal agents who constantly seemed one step ahead. A new notification popped up on Garcia's Instagram feed Thursday afternoon: ICE agents had been spotted in a nondescript residential area of South Gate, a city of about 90,000 people, of which more than 40% are foreign-born, according to the U.S. census. So Garcia put his SUV in gear and sped over. He and his crew were late again. They arrived on a corner about 15 minutes after witnesses say immigration agents with green bulletproof vests and gaiters over their faces had jumped out of vehicles, handcuffed and taken away a man who had sold flowers in front of a ranch-style house there for years. 'I keep doing this because they're messing with my people,' Garcia said. 'It's no longer about immigration. Trump's no longer targeting criminals; he's targeting Hispanics.' It was one of many such raids in South L.A. in recent days at homes, parks and businesses ranging from a car wash to grocery stores. Read more: Fears of ICE raids upend life in L.A. County, from schools to Home Depot parking lots The people whisked away in incidents captured in photos and videos that bystanders shared online ran the gamut: One man plucked out of a diverse crowd for no discernible reason while walking in South Gate Park. Another handcuffed on the curb outside a Ross clothing store in Bell Gardens. Two men in Rosemead snatched from the parking lot of a bakery. Workers at a Fashion Nova clothing warehouse in Vernon told The Times that ICE trucks had been spotted in the area and that they had heard agents planned to confront employees during a shift change. From senior citizens to children, nobody was safe from the federal enforcement effort. Jasmyn Vasillio, 35, said she first became concerned when she saw on social media that ICE agents had raided a car wash in South Gate, then an hour later saw a post about the flower seller's apprehension. 'I knew that flower guy is always there and I live nearby so I drove right over,' she said as she stood on the corner where he had been standing 20 minutes earlier. 'I think they're just picking people up and leaving.' A 20-year-old Latino man who declined to provide his name out of fear of reprisal said that he has been doing everything he can to spread awareness of what immigration enforcement agents are doing in his South Gate neighborhood and across South L.A. 'I'm a U.S. citizen, so I'm good. I'm worried about other people. It's been heartbreaking,' he said as he streamed live from a street in South Gate where CBP agents had been spotted minutes before, according to posts he had seen on Instagram. 'They're here to work and being torn apart from their families," he said. "It's sad. They came here for the American dream and this is what happens.' Teenagers Emmanuel Segura and Jessy Villa said they have spent hours over the past week scrolling through social media and despairing at the seemingly endless stream of videos of people being aggressively detained. They felt helpless in the face of the crackdown, so they planned a protest in the heart of their own community. On Thursday, they took to Atlantic Avenue and Firestone Boulevard in South Gate, where Villa waved a flag pole with both American and Mexican flags affixed to it. They were joined by more than 30 other protesters who chanted slogans and hoisted anti-ICE posters. Drivers honked in support as they passed by. "It's kind of scary. They're taking anyone at this point. I just saw that ICE went to a car wash and took two people. And those are hard-working people — they are not criminals," Segura, a 15-year-old South Gate resident, said. "So we planned the protest to go against ICE, Trump and his administration." Villa, 14, lives in nearby Lynwood, where he says everyone he knows is terrified they or someone they care about will be the next person swept up in an ICE raid. "The streets are empty. Nobody wants to come outside. And kids don't want to go to school, especially kids who migrated here," Villa said. "They're scared going to school in the morning, and worried they'll come home and find out their parents were deported."

'Everybody's worried about it,' Manolo said, recounting how he had heard that earlier that day ICE had raided a business two doors over from his. His company received zero calls for orders Thursday morning, down from the 50 to 60 it typically receives per day. If the immigration raids and protests haven't wound down by the end of the month, he said he might have to shut down his business. 'This whole snatching people on the street — they have you on the floor in handcuffs, traumatize you, why? It makes me nervous, of course,' said Manolo, a U.S. citizen who moved to the U.S. from Guatemala 33 years ago and declined to give his last name out of fear he and his company could be targeted by law enforcement.
