Dolly Parton's Nephew Asks for Estate's Lawsuit Against Him to Be Thrown Out

Seaver denies threatening the estate and says the messages at issue were not meant to intimidate, as the trust seeks to keep its restraining order in place.

  • On Monday, Bryan Seaver, Dolly Parton's nephew, filed an 18-page response seeking dismissal of the lawsuit brought by She's Alive LLC, the trust managing Parton's estate.
  • The estate sued Seaver and Squadron Augmented Protection Services, LLC in September, alleging threats and financial demands after a judge granted a temporary restraining order citing a "present and continuing disruption and threat."
  • Seaver denied creating a "culture of fear" or engaging in "outrageous or oppressive conduct," arguing messages labeled as threats were met with "HaHa" reactions from executor Danny Nozell, Parton's longtime manager.
  • She's Alive LLC previously alleged in an Oct. 5 court document that Seaver evaded service by placing a "no-trespassing sign in the front yard and barbed wire draped across the handrails."
  • A hearing scheduled for November 10 will determine the case's next steps as both sides prepare to present further arguments regarding the estate's security and asset management.
