Dolly Parton's estate accuses nephew of threats, extortion and intimidation

music celebrity

The estate of the late country icon Dolly Parton is seeking a restraining order against her nephew and former head of security, Bryan Seaver. The legal action follows an escalating battle involving allegations of threats and intimidation.

Seaver, who was tasked with announcing Parton's death to the world on August 25 through a video he stated she had asked of him years ago, is now accused of sending threatening text messages. Parton's manager has requested the restraining order, citing intimidating statements made by the former security chief.

Furthermore, the request for a temporary restraining order claims that Seaver has been attempting to shake down and extort the estate following the musician's death.

Bryan Seaver has denied the allegations that he intimidated the manager and others.
