In a shocking turn of events, Kelley Wolf, estranged wife of actor Scott Wolf, was arrested on Friday at the Sundance Resort in Utah. The incident was caught live on Instagram by Kelley herself, leaving fans and friends alike stunned and wondering what really went down.

Kelley, who had announced her divorce from Scott just days prior, appeared visibly shaken as officers approached her. In a bizarre exchange, Kelley insisted that she would "go on my own," but was eventually placed in handcuffs and transported to a local hospital.

The arrest sparked an intense reaction from Kelley, who lashed out at the officers, claiming they were "abusing" her and that Scott had been "abusing" her too. However, her friend Billy Bush, a close pal of Scott's, quickly came to his defense in a social media post.

"Billy Bush here, and I want to set the record straight," he began. "Scott Wolf is one of my very best friends, and I can tell you that there is zero truth to anything abusive by Scott." Billy went on to describe Scott as "the kindest, sweetest person" and emphasized that Kelley was receiving the help she needed.

Billy's defense of Scott comes at a time when Kelley has been making increasingly cryptic posts about her relationship with Scott. Just days ago, she announced their divorce in an Instagram post, stating that they were moving forward with the dissolution of their marriage after 21 years together.

Kelley's fans and friends have rallied around her, expressing support for her through comments on social media. However, some have raised questions about Kelley's behavior leading up to the arrest, wondering if she was seeking attention or simply trying to make a statement.

Kelley's Bizarre Instagram Live

Toward the end of the clip, the TV host said, 'She's got excellent parents. They're on it. She's a beautiful person. And so is Scott. So, just want you to know that and it will unfold but that is the case'

As the officers approached Kelley, she began livestreaming the encounter on Instagram, much to the shock of her followers. The footage shows Kelley appearing agitated and distressed as she demands to know why she is being arrested.

"I think this is shameful," she exclaimed at one point. "Scott Wolf has been abusing me, and now you're abusing me more." However, when asked about the allegations by an officer, Kelley refused to elaborate, instead becoming increasingly agitated.

The officers attempted to calm her down, assuring her that she was not going to jail, but Kelley continued to protest, insisting that she had done nothing wrong. At one point, she even asked the officers if they wanted her to turn off the livestream, only for them to politely decline.

A Family Affair?

Kelley's arrest has sparked a heated debate about domestic violence and abuse in Hollywood. While some have come out in support of Kelley, others have raised questions about her behavior leading up to the incident.

She lambasted the officers: 'This is shameful, gentlemen. Look at this. Look at this woman. This is shameful. Be ashamed of yourselves, gentlemen'

The Scholarly Note spoke with a source close to the situation, who expressed concern that Kelley may be seeking attention or using the arrest as an opportunity to make a statement.

"It's clear that there is more to this story than meets the eye," said the source. "Kelley has been making increasingly erratic posts about her marriage, and it's hard not to wonder if she's just looking for sympathy."

As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Kelley Wolf's arrest at the Sundance Resort has sparked a heated conversation about domestic violence and abuse in Hollywood.
