Dolly Parton's Nephew Fired From Estate Security
21 Sep
Summary
- Dolly Parton's nephew, Bryan Seaver, was recently dismissed from protecting her properties.
- Seaver and his security team were reportedly fired without immediate explanation.
- Despite termination, Seaver's personal interest in Dolly Parton's trust remains intact.
Bryan Seaver, nephew of the late Dolly Parton, has been reportedly terminated from his position overseeing the security of her properties. Seaver, who served as head of security for over two decades, was dismissed along with his security company on September 16, 2026. This action has led to new security personnel taking charge of Parton's Nashville residence, museum, and warehouse.
Seaver expressed dismay at the unexplained dismissal by Parton's manager and Pinnacle Bank, stating his team's intent to honor Parton's final wishes. He indicated that their actions were taken in bad faith and aimed at profiting from the singer's legacy.
Despite the termination from his security role, Seaver's personal interest in the DP Dean Trust remains secure. This trust, named after Dolly Parton and her late husband Carl Dean, manages her assets, including a $10 million Tennessee compound transferred before her death.
