Soon after the passing of country music icon Dolly Parton, her estate became the center of an escalating legal dispute. Parton’s longtime manager, Danny Nozell is now seeking a restraining order against her nephew and head of security Bryan Seaver, on grounds of threats and attempts to pressure her representatives for money, TMZ reported.
Nozell has accused Seaver of making threats citing his military-contractor background, access to weapons and capacity for violence in an effort to pressure him into meeting his financial demands. The filing reported by the outlet says the alleged conduct began weeks before Parton’s death on August 25 and continued afterward.
