Dolly Parton’s nephew accused of threatening to destroy her legacy

  • Dolly Parton’s estate has requested a temporary restraining order in Nashville against the late singer's nephew, Bryan Seaver, accusing him of threatening violence and attempting to ruin her legacy.
  • Seaver, who managed Parton's security and announced her death from cancer last month, allegedly made threats invoking his background as a private military contractor in the Iraq War.
  • Court filings from estate management entity She's Alive claim Seaver sent threatening messages, including demands for payment to prevent him from launching a brand-damaging podcast.
  • Following Seaver's termination last week, his conduct led several employees to resign and forced the organization to hire private security for staff.
  • The requested restraining order seeks to prohibit Seaver from contacting or coming within 1,000 feet of She's Alive employees, attorneys, and business partners.
