Kelley Wolf, estranged wife of actor Scott Wolf, was arrested on August 26, 2025, on charges of electronic communication harassment and electronic disclosure of personal identifying information, marking a significant escalation in their ongoing divorce proceedings. The arrest occurred at her residence in Summit County, Utah, where she was taken into custody and booked into the local jail, with reports indicating the charges are linked to her online activities, including doxxing and sharing private information about Scott and their children.
Prior to the arrest, Kelley had been actively posting on Instagram, where she shared confrontational content that allegedly violated a court-ordered gag agreement. She documented the moment of her arrest on social media, expressing confusion and fear while insisting she was not a danger to anyone. Her posts included revealing Scott’s phone number and making accusatory statements, which contributed to the harassment charges.
The couple, married for 21 years, announced their separation in June 2025, with Scott filing for divorce shortly after. The split has been characterized by public disputes and legal battles, particularly over custody of their three children. Scott was granted temporary sole physical custody in a recent court agreement, with Kelley having supervised visitation rights limited to three video or phone calls per week.
Scott Wolf has accused Kelley of planning to make false allegations against him to gain leverage in the custody case, providing text messages as evidence to PEOPLE magazine. He stated that her claims are baseless and dangerous, aimed at manipulating public opinion and the legal process, and emphasized the need to protect their children’s well-being.
Kelley, in response, has expressed despair over losing access to her children and her reputation, claiming that strategic actions were her only recourse in the face of what she perceives as injustice. She has faced previous detentions by police for concerning behavior, including being taken to a hospital for evaluation in June and July, which she documented on social media, adding to the public scrutiny of their separation.
The arrest underscores the severe consequences of online harassment in legal disputes and the emotional toll of high-profile divorces. It also highlights the challenges courts face in managing social media conduct during contentious proceedings, with potential precedents for how electronic communication is handled in family law contexts.
As the case progresses, further court hearings will determine the outcome of the charges and the custody arrangement. Both parties are expected to continue facing media attention, with implications for their public images and personal lives. The situation remains fluid, with updates anticipated on Kelley’s legal status and any responses from Scott or their representatives.
