Scott Wolf's wife says 'my brain turned on me' as she apologizes to family for 'profound harm' after psychosis

Kelley Wolf's 11-slide Instagram carousel reveals her diagnosis of drug-induced mania with psychosis and a direct apology to Scott Wolf and their kids.


Scott Wolf's wife says 'my brain turned on me' as she apologizes to family for 'profound harm' after psychosis

"It's been a year since I recognized what everyone around me could see: I was not well, and I needed help," Kelley wrote. "I felt like my brain had been hijacked, and the world was moving at the speed of a freight train."

Kelley said she had "no awareness" of her actions at the time and was "completely delusional."

"I think one of mine was that I was in the CIA and that I was running for President!" she admitted.

"After a year working with incredible doctors, therapists, psychologists, and healers, I have an answer," she wrote, later adding, "I won't recount all the chaos, but what has burdened my soul is my need to say I'm so sorry."

Kelley and the "Party of Five" actor announced in June 2025 that they were ending their 21-year marriage. Days later, she was detained by police in Utah County and taken to a hospital after making comments that concerned others.

In her new post, Kelley said the behavior that followed caused "profound harm" to those closest to her.

"My husband of twenty years was taken through a nightmare that wouldn't even fly in a movie script; it was so brutal," she wrote. "The things I did, said, wrote, and posted caused profound harm and were not based in truth or reality. And they caused pain I could never imagine to the people I love the most."

"My brain turned on me," she continued. "In my illness, I made accusations and did things that make me shudder."

At the time, Scott said the claims were "baseless and incredibly dangerous," particularly for the couple's three children. A July 2025 agreement granted him temporary sole physical custody, while Kelley was allowed supervised visitation.

Kelley directly addressed Scott and the couple's three children - Jackson, 17, Miller, 13, and Lucy Marie, 12 - in her apology, writing that the pain she caused would "haunt" her.

"It was my job to protect you, honor you, and keep you safe, and I became the cause of your heartbreak," she wrote. "I am sorry."

"You never gave up on me, and you fought like hell until you landed me in safe harbor," she wrote. "I owe you my life. I will work hard to use this life to leave it better, to pay it forward, and to never give up on the power of love."

Scott showed his support by commenting five heart emojis on Kelly's post.
