More than a year after Kelley Wolf was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold following reports of erratic behavior, the former reality star is now speaking publicly about the experience and offering an apology to her husband Scott Wolf and their family.
In an Instagram carousel, Kelley said she had been diagnosed with what she called “breakthrough drug-induced mania with psychosis,” which she attributed to a combination of stress, past trauma, hormonal shifts, hallucinogens and prescribed medication.
“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.”

“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.”

Her remarks come after Scott, 58, said last year that Kelley had planned to make “false allegations” against him during their divorce proceedings. He shared alleged text messages in which she appeared to say she had been advised to make claims that she did not believe were true in an effort to gain an advantage in court.
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.
