Scott Wolf has broken his silence following the divorce announcement from his estranged wife, Kelley Wolf. In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, the 57-year-old actor addressed the recent allegations made by Kelley, describing them as “disturbing and entirely false.”
The couple, who share three children – Jackson, Miller, and Lucy, have been embroiled in a contentious divorce proceeding. Scott expressed his concern for the well-being of his children amidst the turmoil, stating that his children’s welfare is his top priority.
Kelley allegedly informed Scott of her intentions to make false claims against him, including psychological abuse and child endangerment, in order to sway the court’s decision. Scott decided to speak out and provide evidence of Kelley’s plans to protect his children from the traumatic effects of her allegations.
The couple’s tumultuous relationship took a legal turn when Scott was granted temporary sole physical custody of their children following a temporary stipulated agreement in July. The agreement detailed provisions around custody, visitation, finances, and communication, with Scott having temporary custody of their three children.
Despite the temporary restraining order against Kelley being dismissed, the former couple’s divorce proceedings have been marked by further legal complications. The agreement outlined supervised visitation for Kelley and a social media gag order to maintain privacy and avoid public scrutiny of their private matters.
The situation escalated in June when Kelley was detained by police for concerning comments she made, leading to a series of involuntary psychiatric holds. Scott and Kelley announced their split after 21 years together, emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting their children despite the challenging circumstances.
As the public scrutiny intensified, Scott’s statement aimed to shed light on the complexities of their family situation and the impact of false accusations on their children. While seeking privacy and respect for his family, Scott hoped to raise awareness of the challenges faced by families in similar circumstances.
The pair, who met in 2002 and married in 2004, have navigated a public divorce with multiple legal proceedings and personal struggles. Through his statement, Scott aimed to clarify the truth behind the allegations and protect his children from further trauma amidst the ongoing legal battle.
