Scott Wolf breaks silence on divorce from Kelley…
Scott Wolf is talking out.
The “Party of Five” alum, 57, broke his silence on Friday, Aug. 15, for the first time since asserting he filed for divorce from his estranged spouse, Kelley Wolf, 48, back in June.
In a assertion to People, the actor said 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.”

“There are some significant challenges that are making our situation incredibly difficult and contentious, and it is tragic for all involved,” he continued. “I was informed of some deeply disturbing and entirely false allegations that were made about me by my estranged wife.”
The “Everwood” star also shared with the outlet a collection of alleged textual content messages he acquired from his ex in which she threatened to “make claims” against him concerning “psychological abuse, child abuse, child endangerment [and] stealing with passports.”
Kelley then reportedly made a number of of those same claims in a 911 call on July 26.

“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 continued.
“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,” he added.
According to the alleged textual content messages, Kelley said 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.”

She also allegedly wrote that “when you accused me of all the things you put in the restraining order, you made me into a villain” and “the only way I can fight back is to produce claims that are either the same as yours or greater.”
Scott’s estranged spouse went on to clarify that she was attempting to “create more urgency to get the kids back” or “at least get back joint custody.”
After calling his ex’s claims “completely baseless” and “incredibly dangerous,” Scott added that “the worst part is that they are traumatic for our children.”

“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 said.
“I continue to ask for privacy and respect for our family, and give thanks to all those who have shown their love and support,” the “Nancy Drew” actor concluded.
Kelley has since responded to her estranged husband’s assertion.

“I will be very clear when I say this: I don’t believe that Scott would [abuse our children],” she told People. “I’ve lost my career, my reputation, my children, my integrity, my honor, my devotion to my marriage.”
“As a parent, I have literally lost everything except my life. I’ve done everything strategic, and I’m hopeful for my children,” she added.
The drama between Scott and Kelley Wolf kicked off in June when Kelley took to social media to announce that she and the ’90s heartthrob had been divorcing after 21 years of marriage.

Scott later revealed that he was the one who filed for divorce, and he called it “the most difficult decision of my life.”
“After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,” he told The Post in a assertion at the time.
“Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority,” he added, “so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter.”

The divorce drama shortly escalated on June 13 when Kelley was detained by sheriffs in Utah County and positioned on an involuntary psychiatric maintain following a “family fight” at the pair’s home.
Scott later filed for a restraining order against his ex on June 24, and a choose signed off on the petition in the future later.
Although the actor was awarded a momentary restraining order against Kelley, as effectively as momentary sole bodily and legal custody of their kids, he selected to drop the order on July 19 following a strict new settlement with his ex.

The settlement outlined custody preparations, visitation rights, and communication pointers involving their children, Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11.
Kelley was also granted “liberal” supervised visitation with the youngsters, supervised parenting time as coordinated by counsel, and three supervised video or cellphone calls per week.
However, Kelley tried to gain access to the previous couple’s Park City, Utah, property with police current just two weeks after Scott dropped the restraining order against her.
She livestreamed the attempt on Instagram Live, and told her 76,000 followers that she was “under the impression that I have done everything humanly possible to retrieve some basic items from my home.”
