Dolly Parton Estate Hearing Delayed So Nephew Can Lawyer Up After Allegedly Making Violent Threats
The court showdown, originally scheduled for Friday (Oct. 9), has been pushed to Oct. 20.
A legal hearing in the ongoing dispute between Dolly Parton’s estate and her nephew Bryan Seaver has been postponed, allowing Seaver time to hire a lawyer. Seaver is accused of extorting money through violent threats since the singer’s death in August. The estate, represented by She’s Alive LLC, sued Seaver after he allegedly sent threatening emails and texts.
Seaver denies the allegations, claiming they were taken out of context. A temporary restraining order was issued, prohibiting Seaver from interfering with the Parton estate. The hearing is now scheduled for October 20.
