Dolly Parton’s manager drops lawsuit against nephew

Dolly Parton's longtime manager, Danny Nozell, has withdrawn a lawsuit against her nephew, Bryan Seaver, following a legal dispute over alleged threats and attempted extortion involving the singer’s estate. The lawsuit, filed in September, accused Seaver of threatening the estate's business associates and employees. Seaver had provided security services for Parton for years and denied the allegations, claiming his messages were taken out of context.

The case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could be filed again. Parton, who died in August at the age of 80, was known for her successful entertainment and business empire.
