Dolly Parton's Estate Granted Temporary Restraining Order Against Singer's Nephew
A judge barred Bryan Seaver from contacting business partners after Dolly Parton’s manager said he used threats and weapons claims to press for money.
- A Nashville judge granted a temporary restraining order on Tuesday against Bryan Seaver, Dolly Parton's nephew and former head of security, following allegations he threatened the singer's estate.
- Manager Danny Nozell filed the petition after firing Seaver on September 15, citing an alleged "obscene, deliberate and escalating campaign of threats" involving claims that Seaver is a "killer" and military contractor.
- Seaver, who served as security head for two decades and announced Parton's August 25 death, rejected the claims, telling ABC News the legal action is a "publicity stunt."
- The court order bars Seaver from contacting business partners and mandates he stay 1,000 feet from company offices, as the estate reports his behavior caused staff to quit and legal counsel to resign.
- Seaver remains a beneficiary of the DP Dean Trust, which holds Parton's estimated $650 million fortune, with a jury trial pending to resolve the allegations and estate management.
