Scott Wolf's wife, Kelley Wolf, was arrested on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, for alleged electronic communication harassment and electronic disclosure of personal identifying information. The couple is currently going through a divorce after announcing that they were parting ways in June after 21 years of marriage.

But, after allegedly doxxing the actor and other family members, she was detained at her rental in Summit County, Utah. According to People, Kelley has made a series of "confrontational posts" in the past few days that may have contributed to her arrest. She was reportedly posting insults and allegations against family members and friends, including messages with their three minor children.

Moreover, Kelley talking about the actor, their marriage, and ongoing divorce reportedly goes against the existing social media and gag order preventing them from making disparaging remarks about one another to their children, both in writing and verbally. The gag order was reportedly filed on August 22 and was signed on Tuesday, August 26.
