Kelley Wolf Charged with Violating Protective Order Amidst Acrimonious Divorce Battle
Kelley Wolf is facing charges for breaching a court-issued protective order, which prohibits her from direct communication with her estranged spouse, Scott Wolf, and their three offspring.
Legal documents acquired by Us Weekly on Friday, September 12, indicate that Kelley, 48, received a misdemeanor charge for reportedly contravening the protective order established by the court the previous month. Kelley, mother to Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11, with Scott, was explicitly prohibited from “direct or indirect contact” with them.
The paperwork asserted that Kelley breached the injunction by reportedly utilizing “a friend’s phone” in an effort to reach one of her sons “via a friend’s son.” A court summons instructing Kelley to appear was also mandated for November 7.
“I am completely taken aback by the relentless, aggressive deployment of the legal system and potentially further actions," Kelley conveyed exclusively to People in a Friday statement. "It has grown nearly unbearable for my physical health, and my family's overall well-being.” “I fail to comprehend how these procedures are permitted to unfold. I have [reportedly] adhered to all legal requirements, and I have never uttered anything disparaging about anyone at any time. I would also like to emphasize to anyone who may not grasp it — that divorce proceedings can be lengthy. Any individual who persists in pressuring a mother whose sole focus is advocating for her children should seriously reconsider their actions.”
Scott Wolf Confronts Ex-Wife Kelley in Legal Proceedings Following Claims She Departed Rehabilitation
Scott, 57, initiated divorce proceedings against Kelley in June, concluding their 21-year marital union. Their separation grew contentious when Kelley was apparently taken into custody by law enforcement subsequent to making “troubling” remarks during her split from Scott.
The performer publicly spoke out in August, refuting Kelley's “profoundly unsettling and wholly untrue accusations” leveled against him.
“I am now opting to reveal that she has detailed to me her intentions to ‘level accusations’ against me, despite also conceding, ‘I do not believe they’re true,’ with the aim of securing an upper hand in what she perceives as a ‘struggle’ both legally and in the public eye,” Scott declared in a statement to People. “To safeguard my children, I am disclosing the text messages she sent me detailing this strategy, ensuring no ambiguities remain regarding her motives, or the malicious intent underpinning her fabricated allegations, both existing and prospective.”
Us had earlier reported that Scott was awarded “interim sole physical custody” of their offspring. Nevertheless, the estranged couple maintains joint legal custody, according to documents Us acquired in August. They consented to adhere to a co-parenting arrangement devised by Scott. The judiciary additionally stipulated that Kelley was permitted to interact with her and Scott's children through “three supervised phone/video calls weekly.” She was also allowed to reply to messages if her children were the first to reach out.
The previous month, Kelley was taken into custody on charges of electronic communication harassment and the digital revelation of private identifying data. During a September hearing, Kelley informed a judge of her intention to pursue therapeutic intervention amidst her ongoing legal difficulties.
“I have notified all relevant parties that I will commence attendance at a [treatment facility] beginning September 12,” she stated, as per documents acquired by People. “This has been requested of me by both Bart Johnson and Scott Wolf for the past six months — my sole desire was to exit a marriage. I am eager to go to [the treatment center]. I anticipate it. My brother is escorting me. It's wonderful. It’s an excellent establishment. As a mental health professional myself, I frequently endorse it, so on September 12, I will be there for one month. I trust that this assists the situation.”
People reported on Tuesday, September 9, that Kelley had departed the institution prematurely and was residing in a hotel.
