Scott Wolf breaks silence on divorce, slams estranged wife Kelley’s ‘disturbing, false’ abuse claims
Scott Wolf is accusing his estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, of conspiring to make “disturbing, false” claims about him amid their messy divorce battle.
The “Party of Five” alum broke his silence on his split from the “Real World” alum, saying his ex conspired a plan to accuse him of “psychological abuse, child abuse, child endangerment, stealing with passports.”
While he previously chose to keep this “difficult” time in his family’s lives “private,” he told People in a statement published Friday that he’s now speaking up to protect “the well being of [his] children.”
“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,” Scott continued.
The outlet went on to report that Kelley, 48, alleged in the messages 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.”
“When you accused me of all the things you put in the restraining order, you made me into a villain. The only way I can fight back is to produce claims that are either the same as yours or greater,” she continued.
She also detailed that her aim was to “create more urgency to get the kids back. Or at least get back joint custody.”
Kelley ultimately shared her allegations against Scott on a phone call with police on June 26, according to the outlet.
“Although her claims are completely baseless and incredibly dangerous, the worst part is that they are traumatic for our children,” Scott, 57, continued in his message.
“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.”
He closed, asking for “privacy and respect for our family” and thanked “all those who have shown their love and support.”
A representative for Kelley did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
As some may recall, Kelley was shockingly detained and hospitalized after police were called to the Wolf family’s Park City, Utah, home in June after a reported “family fight.”
An audio recording of the 911 call showed an unidentified woman claiming she was “terrified” and “needed help” after getting into an altercation with her brother-in-law and 16-year-old son.
At the time, someone at the scene also mentioned an alleged “past-occurred assault” choking incident that purportedly took place at their home in March.
The scene transpired shortly after Scott filed for divorce on June 10.
After his filing, Kelley later made another bombshell claim on social media that she was “held against her will” by her former friends while she was “trying to file for divorce.”
Later that month, Scott was granted sole custody of their three children — Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11 — and a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife which he later dropped after they reached a new temporary agreement detailing custody, finances and communication.
