Dolly Parton’s nephew fired from security role at singer’s properties: Report

  • Bryan Seaver, nephew of late music icon Dolly Parton, was dismissed from his role overseeing security at her Nashville properties on Wednesday, according to a termination notice obtained by TMZ.
  • Parton, who died on August 25 at 80 years old, had appointed Seaver to oversee security, a position he inherited from his father, Larry Seaver, years earlier.
  • Seaver blamed Parton's longtime manager Danny Nozell and Pinnacle Bank for "unexpected and, so far, unexplained actions," claiming the decisions were made in bad faith.
  • Although the DP Dean Trust removed Seaver from security duties, the termination notice specifies his personal interest in the trust remains intact; a new security team now controls the properties.
  • Despite the dispute, manager Danny Nozell stated the estate plans to complete several projects in Parton's name, including a biopic and docuseries, to preserve her legacy.
