While headlines were swirling with controversy surrounding his estranged wife, actor Scott Wolf quietly stepped back into the public eye in the most grounded way possible — by focusing on his kids.
On Friday, the Party of Five alum shared a calm snapshot of his three children at the airport, simply captioned: “On the road with my forever squad,” along with a trail of colorful hearts.
It was a moment of peace in what’s become a very public and messy unraveling of his marriage to Kelley Wolf.
A Family Moment After Father’s Day Embrace
Scott, 57, appeared to be heading out with his children — Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11 — following what had already been an emotional week.
Just a few days earlier, he reunited with Miller at Salt Lake City Airport on Father’s Day, a touching moment captured in photos obtained by DailyMail.com.
It was Scott’s first public appearance since his split from Kelley was announced and her subsequent hospitalization made headlines.
A Disturbing Incident at a Luxury Resort
Things took a serious turn last week when Kelley experienced a mental health crisis while staying at the upscale Sundance Resort in Utah.
Deputies from the Utah County Sheriff’s Office responded after Kelley made what were described as alarming comments to family members and law enforcement.
She was ultimately transported to a hospital — in handcuffs — for evaluation.
Footage from the scene, partially streamed on Kelley’s own Instagram Live, showed her visibly distressed, pleading with officers to let her go voluntarily.
At one point, she exclaimed, “This is shameful,” as the sound of handcuffs clicking shut was heard.
Kelley Breaks Her Silence — And Goes on the Offensive
Not long after her release, Kelley reemerged online.
Her first post was a cryptic image showing her hospital wristband with the words, “Hi” and “God bless us.” But things escalated quickly.
In a series of fiery Instagram posts, Kelley accused a group of friends of orchestrating the intervention and claimed they had her “held against [her] will.”
She also disputed the timeline of the breakup with Scott, insisting she initiated the separation over a year ago and had been trying to file for divorce “for months.”
She claimed the actual divorce filing came from Scott’s side only after long delays caused by her legal team.
“That’s Not Love, That’s Control”
In one of her posts, Kelley harshly criticized the people she said called authorities on her.
“They called the cops from a beach town in Florida… while sipping cocktails,” she wrote. “That’s not love. That’s control.”
She continued: “What happened was legal. But it wasn’t right.
And it should never be that easy to weaponize concern — especially against women.”
Kelley also claimed she refused all medication during her hospital stay and remained sober and calm, calling herself one of the “strongest women” the facility had ever seen.
Kelley Insists She’s at Peace
Despite the chaos, Kelley’s tone later shifted to something more hopeful.
She said being single was “surprisingly great” and hinted she might even consider marriage again someday.
For now, she’s focusing on her kids and healing.
“I’ll be by the pool. With my kids. Living my actual, beautiful, grounded, powerful life,” she wrote.
Abuse Allegations Spark Pushback
Perhaps the most serious moment in Kelley’s recorded encounter came when she accused Scott of “abuse.”
There has been no indication or evidence to support this claim, and Scott has not responded to the allegation.
However, his longtime friend and TV personality Billy Bush came to his defense in a video statement, saying the accusations were completely untrue.
Bush described Scott as one of the “kindest, sweetest” people he knows and added that Kelley was getting the help she needed.
He noted he had spoken with both of them directly.
Police Defend Their Response
Law enforcement also addressed the incident.
A spokesperson for the Utah County Sheriff’s Office explained Kelley was taken to the hospital due to concerning statements she made to her father and deputies.
Standard procedure required she be placed in hand restraints during transport — for both her safety and theirs.
Their report reiterated: “She was not under arrest.
She was not being taken to jail. This was a transport for medical help.”
Kelley’s Final Words from the Scene
In the now-infamous video, Kelley can be heard pleading: “Please, I’ll go on my own!” before deputies secure her.
She protests, saying the officers should be “ashamed,” and insists she knows what she’s doing — referencing her own work as a life coach.
Eventually, Kelley asks them to turn off her phone’s live stream, saying she “didn’t mean to” broadcast the encounter.
She ends the video asking for her phone so she can switch it off herself.
A Glimpse at Her Perspective
Afterward, Kelley shared a picture of her belongings laid out on a table: a handbag, a bottle of Gatorade, and a baseball cap.
She wrote in the caption: “I have been taken against my will.
Please check in on my kids. Also… I am happy!! Happier than I have ever been.”
Her message closed with a plea for kindness: “Be kind to each other.
This is one of the darkest things I’ve ever experienced.”
The Divorce Timeline and What Comes Next
Before her hospitalization, Kelley had made cryptic posts hinting at personal struggles and a desire to speak her truth.
The couple had just marked their 21st wedding anniversary in May.
Not long after, the news of their separation — and Scott’s official divorce filing — became public.
For now, Scott appears to be keeping his focus on family.
And while Kelley continues to share her side on social media, the situation remains complex, emotional, and very much in the public eye.
