Dolly Parton's estate has obtained a temporary restraining order against her nephew Bryan Seaver after a Tennessee filing accused him of making threatening statements and attempting to interfere with the singer's business operations.
The action was filed on 22 September by She's Alive, LLC, an entity established by Parton to protect her legacy, with longtime manager Danny Nozell involved in seeking protection for the estate's personnel and business partners. Reports on the case say the order was granted the same day.
