  "summary": "Dolly Parton's sister, Stella Parton, has spoken out about the overwhelming response to her sister's passing. Stella expressed frustration with the \"tremendous amount of AI and endless garbage\" on social media, saying it's been challenging for the Parton family to absorb or ignore. She noted that those who exploit losses and tragedies for attention will move on to the next thing, but it still affects the family's grieving process.\n\nStella Parton urged fans to \"show more compassion\" in their tributes, encouraging them to take a page out of Dolly's book. According to Deadline, Stella wrote that the family has no choice but to be subjected to \"incredible pressure and insensitivity from strangers\" due to their public lives.\n\nStella acknowledged that not all tributes have been negative, thanking fans who have shown \"genuine\" support to the Parton family. She asked people to consider how they would feel about themselves at the end of the day, saying it's not about \"the most clever comments, fake AI garbage or snarky tweets\".",
