Dolly Parton’s Family Reportedly ‘At War’ Over Estate After 1 Relative Was Cut Off—‘Very Upset’
She's Alive LLC says Bryan Seaver threatened to damage Parton's brand, and a judge barred him from coming within 1,000 feet of the company.
- On September 23, the Davidson County Chancery Court granted a temporary restraining order against Bryan Seaver, Dolly Parton's former head of security, one day after She's Alive LLC sued him.
- Following Parton's August 25 death at age 80, She's Alive LLC fired Seaver, citing threats to "destroy the entire brand" and demands for money after he held the security role for more than two decades.
- Court filings allege Seaver made violent threats, including telling Parton's legal team "I'm a killer," to extort funds; Seaver denied the allegations to ABC News, calling the restraining order "spurious and simply a publicity stunt."
- Sisters Stella Parton and Freida Parton defended their nephew on social media, insisting "we all love Bryan just as we all love each other" and that there is "no feud within our family."
- The restraining order bars Seaver from coming within 1,000 feet of company staff and property, while a formal injunction hearing is scheduled for October 7 to determine how the legal dispute will proceed.
