Just days after announcing her split from "Party of Five" actor Scott Wolf, Kelley Limp Wolf was seemingly taken into police custody in a moment that played out, unintentionally, on Instagram Live.

The dramatic incident unfolded during a livestream in which the screen remained mostly black, but audio clearly captured the tense exchange between Kelley and two responding officers.

Toward the end of the video, Kelley Limp Wolf's face briefly appeared alongside the officers, and what sounded like the click of handcuffs could be heard.

“I’ll go on my own. Please, I’ll go on my own,” Kelley said in the video, before one of the officers asked, “You got that arm?” Moments later, a loud metallic clink, believed to be handcuffs, was heard.

While one officer assured Kelley she was “not going to jail,” he also explained that her recent behavior had raised red flags. “You’ve made some comments to your dad, and comments to people that are concerning,” he said.

Kelley Limp Wolf’s Emotional Plea Caught On Livestream

Kelley, a life coach and mother of three, grew increasingly upset as the exchange continued, telling the officers they should be “ashamed” of themselves and accused them, and her estranged husband, of mistreatment.

“Scott Wolf has been abusing me and now you’re abusing me more,” she said. There is no evidence to support these claims, and it is unclear what she meant by “abuse.”

Throughout the encounter, Kelley repeatedly asked that the livestream be turned off, at first unaware it was even broadcasting.

“You might wanna turn this off,” she told the officers. “Would you like me to turn it off?” One officer offered to stop the recording, to which Kelley replied, “Please turn it off. Please.”

Scott also addressed the split with a brief statement confirming the divorce, adding that the couple remains committed to co-parenting their three children, Jackson, Miller, and Lucy.

"After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,” he said in a statement per PEOPLE. “Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter."
