Scott Wolf’s estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, offered an update about her three kids and Billy Bush amid public divorce drama.
“I JUST CALLED ALL THREE KIDS to let them know that I pitched a show I’ve been dreaming about for OVER A DECADE,” Kelley, who appeared on The Real World in 2000 and The Challenge in 2002, began in a lengthy Instagram post on Monday, June 23, before hinting at what the show would be about.
“If Curb Your Enthusiasm had a baby with Designing Women, and then sent that baby backpacking through Europe with Anthony Bourdain while journaling its weird, wild, funny life as a traveling writer, ex-reality TV weirdo, mom, and full-blown eccentric who somehow still manages to hold down a business and help clients not lose their minds,” Kelley, 48, continued, noting that she would star in the project — which she wants to stream via Hulu.
Kelley told Instagram followers that she’s “finally stepping out” as herself and no longer wants to be cast as “the nice one.” (Comments on Kelley’s Instagram post were limited.)
“Now I’m ME … Unfiltered. Curated. And KIND. I’ll get to be funny, deep, random, heartfelt, chaotic, brilliant, tender, and completely uncategorized—just like I actually am. I’m totally jazzed to TRY!” she continued. “Telling my kids we’re going to Spain in a few weeks, and that when we come back, Mama might finally get to make the show she’s been dreaming of since she was their age? Full. Circle. Moment.”
She wrote the caption alongside a FaceTime of a screenshot with her three kids. (Kelley and estranged husband, Scott, 57, share kids Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11.)
Kelley said she told her kids a message that she shares with all of her costars.
“We don’t give up. We get up. And we make something out of it,” she shared, in part, before confirming that Jackson was “grounded.”
During the FaceTime call, Kelley also brought up the Bush of it all. (Kelley has made several statements about Bush and his friendship with Scott after the Extra host weighed in on their divorce.)
“I also just had a 3-hour convo with my teenager explaining everything I’ve posted about Billy. Because I tell my kids the truth. Within reason. And with love,” she continued. “That’s the kind of parent I am. Arkansas Tough, Heart Forward.”
Continuing her message, speaking directly to fans, Kelley made it clear that she’s “fine” and “happy” with “no mental illness” and “no addictions.” (Kelley was hospitalized earlier this month after being detained at a hotel in Utah.)
“Just a woman who SURVIVED an involuntary 5150 with her humor intact and her hair still kinda cute,” she added. “Someone called me the “Kanye [West]” of parenting. I’m still not sure if that was a compliment or a cry for help. But whatever — I’ll take it.”
Her caption concluded: “In other words: I’m ALIVE. I’m not quiet anymore. And the show’s just getting started.”
Scott, for his part, has yet to address Kelley’s post or hospitalization.
