Days after Kelley Wolf shared a video of herself being detained, she said she was placed under an “involuntary” psychiatric hold in a facility that "looked more like a prison than a hospital.”
Scott Wolf’s Ex Kelley Wolf Posts Video of Herself Being Detained by Police
Kelley Wolf has given more details about her recent detainment.
Less than two weeks after the Real World: New Orleans alum shared a video of herself being handcuffed by authorities, she described her subsequent hospital stay as an involuntary psychiatric hold.
“No mental illness. No addictions,” Kelly wrote in a since-deleted June 23 Instagram post, per People. “Just a woman who SURVIVED an involuntary 5150 and went on a 1st DATE 2-night. So nervous! OMG!”
The referenced 5150 order is an emergency hold in the state of California that can last up to 72 hours and is “a critical intervention used to detain individuals who are considered a danger to themselves or others or are gravely disabled due to a mental disorder,” according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. (Though Kelley described her detainment using a hold code from California, she said in a later post that she was detained in Utah.)
After Kelley shared the video of herself being handcuffed, Sergeant Raymond Ormond from the Utah County Sheriff's Office told E! News in a June 13 statement, “She is not [in] custody, transported to a local hospital for some help. She was briefly detained while we transported from the Sundance resort to the hospital.”
Beyond describing her confinement as unwelcomed, Kelley—who announced the end of her 21-year marriage to actor Scott Wolf three days before her detainment—provided other details surrounding her psychiatric hold, including that she had been with her daughter earlier in the day.
“Hours later, I was handcuffed by police in MY fav place, and involuntarily detained in a facility that looked more like a prison than a hospital,” Kelley wrote in a June 22 Instagram post. “No clock. No phone. No sunlight.”
She continued, “They tried to medicate me—lithium, Seroquel, Xanax. I ‘politely’ declined. I meditated. I breathed. I did the very things I’ve spent years teaching others to do.”
Kelley also explained that her detainment was prompted by a “so-called ‘friend,’” though it was not her ex or her dad.

“To be clear: I was not suicidal,” she emphasized. “I was not unstable. I am happy and single!”
Since she was released from her hold, Kelley said she has not been able to reach Scott, with whom she shares kids Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11.
“Can’t get a hold of the fam!” she wrote in a separate June 23 Instagram post. “They sound like they’re having a great time on their vacation in Cape Cod? It must be nice to go on a vacation instead of a involuntary hold and your rights taken away from you.”
Despite her recent experiences, though, Kelley noted, “But hey, I’m feeling pretty great!”
E! News has reached out to Scott and Kelley for comment but hasn’t heard back.
