Dolly Parton's Estate Drops Lawsuit Against Nephew Bryan Seaver
The company that runs Dolly Parton's business affairs voluntarily withdrew its suit accusing her nephew and former security chief of threats and intimidation.
The legal fight between Dolly Parton's business entity and her nephew, Bryan Seaver, has taken an abrupt turn: She's Alive, LLC, which manages Parton's interests, filed a notice voluntarily dismissing its lawsuit accusing Seaver of a "campaign of threats, intimidation, and coercion" against the country icon. The dismissal was filed without prejudice, meaning the case could be refiled later. Seaver, who was previously fired as head of security for Parton's Nashville home, has denied the allegations, calling the suit a "publicity stunt" and insisting through his attorney it was all a "misunderstanding." It's unclear whether the two sides reached a quiet settlement.
