Dolly Parton's Family Denies Feud Over Estate
24 Sep
Summary
- Dolly Parton's sister stated there's no family fighting.
- The family loves nephew Bryan Seaver despite his issues.
- A manager filed a restraining order against the nephew.

Dolly Parton's sister, Freida, has officially denied any internal family conflict over the legendary singer's estate. In a recent Instagram post, Freida clarified that no one within the Parton/Owens family is engaged in disputes. She specifically addressed the situation involving Dolly's nephew, Bryan Seaver, who was recently removed from his role overseeing security for the singer's properties.
Freida expressed strong familial support, stating, "We all love Bryan, just as we all love each other." This statement comes despite recent legal actions initiated by Dolly Parton's longtime manager, Danny Nozell. Nozell has reportedly filed for a restraining order against Seaver, alleging threats and intimidating behavior that have purportedly led to staff absences and concerns for personal safety.
Allegations suggest that Seaver's actions have created a difficult work environment, causing some employees to resign or stop coming to work. Further reports, including alleged text messages, indicate Seaver may have boasted about his prominent role during the announcement of Dolly Parton's death. However, the family's public stance, as conveyed by Freida, suggests continued solidarity with Seaver.
