Dolly Parton’s Estate Faces Crisis After Nephew Is Fired, Accused of Threats
In a new court filing, Bryan Seaver is accused of launching an "escalating campaign of threats” to extract money from the Parton estate
Bryan Seaver, nephew of country music icon Dolly Parton, has been terminated from his position as head of security at her various properties after serving in the role for more than two decades, according to TMZ. TMZ reported that Seaver received a termination notice last Wednesday, from which he and his security companies were immediately dismissed from all Dolly properties.
The late country legend's primary Nashville residence, museum, downtown home, and warehouse are now under the control of replacement guards. Seaver had inherited his position as head of security from his father, Larry Seaver. His entry into the public eye came via a social media post on August 25th announcing Dolly Parton's death.
Seaver and his team blamed Dolly's longtime manager Danny Nozell and Pinnacle Bank, expressing dismay and vowing to fulfill her final directive to protect her family. They further added that they would not be intimidated by actions they believed were taken in bad faith and with the intention of profiting from Dolly Parton's legacy.
The properties and Parton's professional business interests are held by the DP Dean Trust, where Seaver's personal interests remain unaffected. Dolly Parton passed away in Nashville on August 25th, following a brief illness.
