Dolly Parton's estate has filed a lawsuit against her nephew. Here's what's happened so far

Dolly Parton's nephew, Bryan Seaver, is accused of barricading his property with barbed wire, yellow caution tape, and "no trespassing" signs to prevent being served with a lawsuit. According to court documents, Seaver allegedly threatened to commit violence and destroy his aunt's legacy and business empire while requesting a judge to keep him away from employees and business dealings.

Lawyers for Parton's estate argued that Seaver attempted to evade service of process and that the court should not reward such behavior. The lawsuit, viewed by several major media outlets, also alleges that Seaver contacted She's Alive LLC and revealed his intentions to ruin Dolly's brand. Seaver, who had previously announced Parton's death in a social media video, has since been terminated from his role at She's Alive.
