Dolly Parton estate in feud with nephew over alleged ‘warfare’ threats

Bryan Seaver, who announced Parton’s death to the world, is alleged to have intimidated her manager and others, which he denies

The estate of the late Dolly Parton is involved in a dispute with the country star’s nephew and former head of security, and has filed for a restraining order against him amid allegations of threats.

Bryan Seaver was responsible for Parton’s security, and was tasked with announcing her death on 25 August with a video, “something Dolly asked of me years ago”, he said.
