Court Documents Filed in Nashville Regarding Dolly Parton's Estate

Court documents were filed in Nashville regarding Dolly Parton’s estate, which accuses her nephew, Bryan Seaver, of making increasingly threatening overtures against her professional management. She’s Alive, the entity managing Parton’s business, filed a request for a temporary restraining order against Seaver and his company, Squadron Augmented Protection Services (SAPS). The filings allege that Seaver demanded money and invoked his background as a security professional while making threats against the estate. A Tennessee judge subsequently granted the legal protection sought for She’s Alive, LLC.

The dispute centers on the alleged harassment of Parton's longtime manager, Danny Nozell, and threats against the brand and business operations of She’s Alive, LLC. The filings detail how Seaver's conduct became untenable for the company he was hired to protect.
