Instagram Live Detention Shocks Fans: Kelley Wolf Taken by Police in Viral Moment
In a stunning and emotional moment caught live on Instagram, Kelley Wolf, a well-known author, therapist, and the estranged wife of actor Scott Wolf, was seen being detained by police while streaming to her followers.
The livestream, which began with a black screen, ended abruptly as Kelley was seen in handcuffs surrounded by two officers. Shocked and distressed, she could be heard saying, “Oh my God… this is not happening.”
Police Say It Was a Wellness Check, Not an Arrest
According to law enforcement, Kelley was not under arrest. Authorities explained the intervention was a wellness check following “concerning comments” she had made to family members. Police said the action was taken out of concern for her mental health and safety.
Wolf, however, told her viewers she was “taken against [her] will,” calling the incident “shameful” and “one of the darkest things I’ve ever experienced.” She maintained she was calm and cooperative throughout.
Comes Days After Divorce Announcement
This incident comes just three days after Kelley and Scott Wolf announced their separation after 21 years of marriage. The couple has three children—Jackson, Miller, and Lucy—and both have expressed a commitment to co-parenting with love and integrity.
Scott Wolf described the decision to divorce as “the most difficult of my life” and has asked the public to respect their family’s privacy.
Kelley Speaks Out
After the encounter, Kelley posted on her Instagram story:
“Please check on my kids. I am happy. Happier than I’ve ever been. But what just happened was wrong.”
She also reaffirmed her identity and resilience, saying, “I know what I’m doing. This is my job.”
