Dolly Parton's nephew pushes back on restraining order filed against him
Dolly Parton's nephew disputed a restraining order that was filed against him by her estate, which accused him of threatening to do violence and destroy her legacy and business empire.
Bryan Seaver, nephew of country music legend Dolly Parton and former head of security, has contested a restraining order filed by Parton's longtime manager Danny Nozell. In court documents, Seaver claimed his actions were in response to Nozell's threats and the negative impact on Parton's legacy and business empire. He argued that Nozell's positive reactions to some of his texts contradicted the order's claims of Seaver's violent intentions.
The order, granted last month, prohibits Seaver and his security firm, Squadron Augmented Protection Services, from interacting with Parton's employees, attorneys and business partners within a 1,000-foot radius. Seaver maintains he never threatened physical harm to anyone and never interfered with any business relationships. He emphasized his love for Parton and her legacy, and his intention to prevent any harm to her legacy.
