SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — The Real World: New Orleans alum Kelley Wolf, 48, was arrested late Tuesday, August 26, on suspicion of electronic communication harassment and unauthorized electronic disclosure of personal identifying information.
The arrest follows a series of recent social media posts that allegedly violated a court-ordered gag order issued amid her contentious divorce and custody battle with actor Scott Wolf, known for his role in Party of Five.
Kelley was detained at her rented home in Summit County and is currently being held in the Summit County Jail. As of now, no formal charges have been filed and no bail has been set. It remains unclear if she has retained legal counsel.
Posts Tied to Her Arrest
Just prior to her arrest, Kelley took to Instagram Stories to announce police were at her door:
“The police are at my house to arrest me. I have no idea why,” she wrote.
“I am not suicidal. I am no danger to anyone. I have done nothing. I am so scared. So confused.”
However, authorities allege that her social media activity over the past few days included doxxing friends and family, including Scott Wolf, and sharing increasingly confrontational posts, some of which involved her three minor children.
These posts appear to directly violate a court-ordered social media gag issued as part of a temporary custody agreement, signed by a Utah judge on August 22.
Custody and Divorce Proceedings
Kelley and Scott Wolf were married for 21 years before separating in June. Scott filed for divorce on June 10, and the legal battle has since escalated.
Under the temporary court order:
Scott Wolf has sole physical custody of their three children — Jackson (16), Miller (12), and Lucy (11).
He also holds temporary decision-making authority.
Kelley is granted “liberal” supervised parenting time, including three supervised phone or video calls per week, and may respond if the children initiate additional contact.
The order also bars both parents from making disparaging remarks, either publicly or to the children, and prohibits discussing their marriage, divorce, or custody case on social media or with the press.
Legal Context
The charges Kelley faces fall under Utah’s electronic harassment and privacy laws, which criminalize:
Repeated or unwanted electronic communication
Disclosure of private or identifying information without consent
Online intimidation, threats, or harassment
If prosecuted, she could face misdemeanor or felony charges, depending on the scope and severity of the behavior.
