The estranged wife of actor Scott Wolf was seemingly detained by law enforcement during an Instagram livestream, during which she can be heard scolding officers and alleging she was abused.

The clip, which appeared on Kelley Wolf’s social media profile early Friday, starts out with a black screen with only audio, and it remains that way until nearly the end, when she can be standing alongside a pair of police officers. It comes just three days after she revealed that she and her “Party of Five” star husband were headed for divorce after 21 years.

“Oh my God. Don’t,” a voice, seemingly Kelley’s, can be heard saying in the clip. “Oh my God, this is not happening.”

The mother of the three goes on tell responding officers she’d leave with them on her own, but her offer is still followed by what sounds like handcuffs clicking closed.

“This is shameful, gentlemen,” she tells them. “Look at this, look at this woman, this is shameful. Be ashamed, be ashamed of yourselves, gentlemen.”

One of the officers then informs Kelley that she’s “not going to jail,” but rather to get “some help.” He notes that she had “made some comments to your dad and comments to people that are concerning,” and that they “want to make sure you’re okay.”

“I didn’t mean to,” Kelley said, asking the police if she should turn off her camera. “I think Scott Wolf is abusing me, and now you are abusing me more.”

 

Shortly after posting the video, Kelley shared an image to her Instagram feed covered in chunks of text, including one that reads: “This is horrible. I have been taken against my will. Please check on my kids.”

Another said: “Also… I am happy!! Happier than I have ever been.” She also noted that she’d been “compliant, calm and respectful” adding that she hoped “this is all sorted very quickly.

“In the meantime, be kind to each other,” she concluded. “This is one of the darkest things I’ve ever experienced.”

Kelley also chose Instagram as the platform to announce her split from Wolf, with whom she shares sons Jackson and Miller as well as daughter Lucy, on Tuesday. She called it “the most difficult decision of her life.”

Wolf meanwhile told TMZ he plans to keep focused on his children amid the divorce proceedings.
