Star's wife livestreams dramatic arrest days after split
Days after announcing her split from actor Scott Wolf, the former Party of Five star's estranged wife Kelley was admitted to a Utah hospital.
'Deputies responded to the Sundance Resort for a report of a female that needed some help,' local law enforcement told People in a June 13 statement.
'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 Sheriffs Office confirmed to the outlet that Kelley, 48, was handcuffed 'just for their protection and our protection as law enforcement as well.'
Kelley shared an audio/video clip of a tense exchange with Utah police on Saturday via a previously broadcast Instagram Live.
'Oh my God, this is not happening,' Kelley's voice can be heard against a black screen, adding that she'll 'go on my own.'
Kelley is then heard being handcuffed.
'This is shameful, gentlemen,' Kelley exclaimed. 'Look at this woman, this is shameful. Be ashamed, be ashamed of yourselves, gentlemen.'
An officer then explained to her that she would not be going to jail and that they were trying to get her 'help.'
'I know what I'm doing, I've done this,' she said. 'This is my job.'
'You've made some comments to your dad, and some comments to people that are concerning,' an officer's voice responded. He added that they 'want to make sure you're okay.'
'I didn't mean to. I think Scott Wolf is abusing me, and now you are abusing me more,' Kelley said during the encounter, though it's unclear what she meant by 'abusing.'
A handcuffed Kelley and the officers were briefly visible in the last part of the video, during which she asked them to turn off her phone camera and stop the recording.
Via Instagram Stories, she subsequently shared a photo of what appeared to be her purse and a ball cap in a hospital room. 'This is horrible,' she wrote over the photo. 'I have been taken against my will. Please check on my kids.'
Kelley continued, 'Also … I am happy!! Happier than I have ever been. I have NO idea why or how this is happening in AMERICA. 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.'
Page Six reached out to a rep for Scott, but did not receive an immediate response.
On Tuesday, Kelley, who married Scott in 2004 and subsequently welcomed three children with him, took to Instagram to announce their split after two decades of marriage. 'It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage,' she wrote alongside an image of a lion with three eagles flying overhead.
'This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children,' she continued.
'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 then addressed Scott, calling him '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. We both look forward to an extraordinary life centred around the most extraordinary children.'
Scott, who filed for divorce in Utah on Monday, also released a statement.
'After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,' he told People in a statement on Wednesday.
'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.'
The estranged couple share children Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11.

Manhunt continues for Minnesota assassin as police reveal list of 70 potential targets
The man who allegedly assassinated a US senator and attempted to kill another had a list of dozens of different targets in his car, police have said. Minnesota senator Melissa Hortman and her husband were both killed inside their home in the early hours of Saturday, local time. Another Minnesota senator, John Hoffman, and his wife were both shot multiple times at their home, just eight kilometres away from the Hortman residence. A manhunt is still underway for the suspect, who police identified as 57-year-old Vance Boelter. The gunman's vehicle allegedly contained a manifesto and a list of targets, according to Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley. The list reportedly contained dozens of Democratic politicians, doctors, community leaders and business owners, along with locations for Planned Parenthood and other healthcare centres. Police have said they are contacting those on the list to warn them of potential danger. A neighbour of the Hoffmans' told NBC he was up watching the news at around 2am when he heard a "pow, pow" outside. "I didn't see anything, but then, all at once, I seen a black, dark black car backing out of the Hoffmans' driveway," Clarence Shaffer told the outlet. "And as he backed out, he turned his headlights on and put the police lights on. Police have said Mr Boelter impersonated a police officer — donning a vest, blue long-sleeve shirt and what appeared to be a badge — in order to gain access to victims' homes. The first call to emergency services was made at 2am local time, leading police to the Hoffman home. Another call around 90 minutes later led them to the Hortmans' address. Officers arrived to find an SUV with its emergency lights on in the driveway, before exchanging fire with the gunman as he exited the home. Mr Boelter's roommate, David Carlson, told local media he had received a text from him in the hours after the attacks, and read them aloud to reporters. "[He said:] 'I may be dead shortly, so I just want to let you know that I love you guys both, and I wish it hadn't gone this way'," Mr Carlson told Minneapolis' KARE outlet. "I don't know why he did what he did. He had lots of friends, trust me, and I wish I could have been there to stop him." Records obtained by the New York Times showed Mr Boelter had served on the same 60-member Workforce Development Board as Mr Hoffman. He had been appointed to the position by Governor Tim Walz, serving two terms up to January 2023. Authorities said in a press conference they were still investigating whether Mr Boelter knew Mr Hoffman or Ms Hortman. A photograph shared online by state police was believed to show papers with "NO KINGS" written on them spread across the seat of the suspect's car. This has led authorities to suggest the gunman had planned to target one of the hundreds of protests taking place across the United States against the Trump administration. Organisers of demonstrations in Minnesota have since cancelled all planned events on the recommendation of officials. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz urged residents to "not attend any political rallies" in the state until the suspect had been taken into custody. President Donald Trump confirmed on his Truth Social platform that he had been briefed on the shootings and the ongoing manhunt. The FBI has offered a $US50,000 ($77,106) reward for any information leading to Mr Boelter's arrest.

The highs and lows of the Sydney Film Festival
For once, the hype was justified. Australian director Michael Shanks' Together, which opened the 72nd Sydney Film Festival with high expectations after a stunning worldwide sale at Sundance, was an entertaining and polished body horror film about a couple whose lives get weird when they move to the country. Tim (Dave Franco) is a wannabe musician with commitment issues; Millie (Alison Brie) is a teacher who doesn't know whether to call him her boyfriend, partner or whatever. The distinctiveness of the characters, the wit and the clever way the body horror symbolised the couple's co-dependency show that Shanks - even if dogged by a copyright lawsuit - is a talent to watch. As he said in a post-film Q&A, the film has opened Hollywood doors at least briefly … he auditioned to direct the next X-Men film then heard five hours later that someone else had been hired. Another debut film also left a vivid impression in the official competition - Akinola Davies Jr's kaleidoscopic Nigerian drama My Father's Shadow. It's a stylish look at two young boys (brothers Godwin and Chibuike Marvelous Egbo) being taken out for a fateful 1963 day in Lagos by a distant father (Sope Dirisu) who is trying to reconnect with them. While the hope is that a national election will bring democracy, the annulling of the result triggers chaos. The film featured the single most indelible image of the festival - a stunning shot that had the father and his sons rounding the giant red hull of a ship that had run aground on a beach. Most emotional screening Maggie Miles and Trisha Morton-Thomas' documentary Journey Home - David Gulpilil showed the logistical challenges and complex cultural protocols involved in laying the great Indigenous actor to rest by a sacred waterhole in Arnhem Land after his death in 2021.
