Actor Scott Wolf is seeking a temporary restraining order against his estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, as their divorce proceedings take a dramatic turn. The Party of Five star filed for court-ordered protection on Tuesday in Utah, according to TMZ, marking a significant escalation in what is shaping up to be a bitter split.
While the full details of the restraining order remain sealed, Scott reportedly submitted a sworn declaration alongside a supporting statement from Michael Wolf, believed to be his brother. The specific allegations have not yet been made public.
This development follows the couple’s joint announcement earlier this month confirming the end of their 20+ year marriage. Scott and Kelley—who rose to fame on MTV’s The Real World: New Orleans—share three children together.
Tensions have visibly flared in recent weeks. Kelley was reportedly detained by Utah authorities and taken for a psychiatric evaluation after an undisclosed incident earlier in June. The circumstances surrounding that event have not been fully disclosed, but they appear to have played a role in the restraining order filing.
Despite the serious legal move, a source close to Kelley told Us Weekly that Scott’s actions are being mischaracterized.
“It’s not warranted, it’s cruel … it’s incorrect,” the source said, adding, “It’s so sad for the kids.”
As legal proceedings continue, the public and fans alike await further details about what led to this deeply personal and public unraveling of a long-standing Hollywood marriage.
