Dolly Parton’s estate accuses her nephew of threatening violence and to destroy his aunt’s legacy
- On Tuesday, Dolly Parton's estate sued her nephew Bryan Seaver, alleging he used extortion threats and violent language to demand money following the singer's August 25 death.
- Alive LLC, managed by Danny Nozell, fired Seaver from his security role on September 16 after he allegedly used his military background to intimidate staff and demand payment.
- Court filings allege Seaver sent messages stating "All I do is warfare" and vowed to "destroy the entire brand," prompting the estate to seek a restraining order keeping him 1,000 feet away from team members.
- A temporary restraining order was granted on Tuesday, protecting Nozell and business partners from the armed former contractor as many staff members remain afraid to work.
- Seaver, who announced Parton's death on behalf of the family, told TMZ he was "dismayed by the unexpected and, so far, unexplained actions" of his firing, though he has not returned requests for comment on the lawsuit.
