Dolly Parton estate alleges nephew evading lawsuit with barbed wire, trespassing sign
- The Dolly Parton estate claims Bryan Seaver, her former security head, constructed a barricade of yellow caution tape and barbed wire to block a process server attempting to deliver a lawsuit at his home, according to Rolling Stone.
- After announcing Parton's death on August 25 at age 80, Seaver was terminated within one month, prompting She's Alive LLC to obtain a restraining order after alleging he threatened to destroy her legacy.
- Court filings allege Seaver began threats weeks before Parton's death, telling her entertainment attorney, "I'm not an entertainment person. I'm a killer." Seaver denied the allegations to TMZ, stating "most of the comments I stand by."
- In a Friday motion, Seaver sought a 10-day postponement of the October 9 hearing, claiming he cannot retain counsel due to Pinnacle Bank conflicts; the estate urged the court to deny the delay and make the restraining order permanent.
- The dispute extends beyond the barricade allegations, with Seaver claiming every attorney consulted has ties to Pinnacle Bank, while a new security team was installed at Parton's Nashville home in September following his firing.
