Scott Wolf breaks silence over ex Kelley’s ‘false’ allegations amid ‘difficult’ divorce

Article content

Scott Wolf has made his first public comments since his split from Kelley Wolf.

The Party of Five star shared that he was prompted to comment on their divorce after his ex made “false allegations” against him.

“There are some significant challenges that are making our situation incredibly difficult and contentious, and it is tragic for all involved,” Wolf said in a statement to People magazine.

“I was informed of some deeply disturbing and entirely false allegations that were made about me by my estranged wife.”

Wolf expressed that his “continued hope is to have this most difficult chapter of our family’s lives remain as private as possible, however, the well-being of my children is at stake, and that will always be my priority.”

The Nancy Drew actor elaborated on the complexity of the couple’s situation.

“I am now choosing to come forward and share that she has described to me her plans to ‘make claims’ about me, although she also admitted, ‘I do not believe they’re true,’ in order to gain an advantage in what she sees as a ‘battle’ in court, and in the court of public opinion,” Scott said.

“In order to protect my kids, I am providing the text messages she sent to me where she describes this plan, so there are no questions about her intentions, or the malicious intent behind her false allegations made and/or planned for the future.”

Kelley’s alleged text messages, which were reviewed by People, appeared to show her supposed plans to make allegations of “psychological abuse, child abuse, child endangerment, [and] stealing with passports” about her husband.

The texts noted that she “was advised to make claims that are possible, even though I do not believe they’re true nor would I ever say them to anyone.”

However, Kelley admitted to the outlet that she did not think her ex-husband was actually a threat to her family.

“I will be very clear when I say this: I don’t believe that Scott would [abuse our children],” she said.

“As a parent, I have literally lost everything except my life,” the Real World: New Orleans alum continued. “I’ve done everything strategic, and I’m hopeful for my children.”

Scott reiterated the alleged claims’ falseness in his statement.

“Although her claims are completely baseless and incredibly dangerous, the worst part is that they are traumatic for our children,” he noted.

“I hope that anyone who might speak publicly or report on such things will consider this before spreading any further information from a clearly unreliable and completely compromised source.”

Scott and Kelley met in 2002 and tied the knot two years later.

They announced their split in June after 21 years of marriage in separate statements.

Scott’s words were brief while Kelley’s statement appeared to be an amicable but cryptic.

“It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

“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.”

Days after the announcement, Kelley shared video of herself being detained and handcuffed by law enforcement in Utah.

She later revealed that she was placed under an “involuntary 5150” hold.

Scott was granted temporary sole physical and temporary sole legal custody of the couple’s three children, and was also given a temporary restraining order against Kelley.
