Dolly Parton's Sisters Downplay Growing Legal Dispute over Her Estate
Stella and Freida Parton said the family remains united as a Tennessee judge barred nephew Bryan Seaver from estate properties after his firing.
On Thursday, Sept. 24, Stella Parton denied reports of a family feud in a Facebook post, asserting the family remains united nearly one month after Dolly Parton's death at age 80.
Legal tensions escalated after She's Alive, LLC fired Bryan Seaver, Dolly's nephew and former head of security, then filed for a restraining order citing alleged threats.
A Tennessee judge granted the restraining order on Wednesday, Sept. 23, preventing Seaver from coming within 1,000 feet of She's Alive properties and contacting its employees.
While Seaver has denied making threats, Freida Parton stated there is "no feud" within the family and emphasized that members continue to support their nephew.
Stella noted the family is "still intact and moving forward" while grieving Dolly and brother Denver, who died less than a month before her.
