Dolly Parton's Sister Addresses Family Feud Rumors Following Nephew's Firing, Restraining Order

Dolly Parton's sister, Freda Parton, speaks out amid rumors of a family divide over the late singer's estate. In an Instagram post, she clarified that there is absolutely no feud within their family over Dolly's estate. Freda stated, "...no one among the Parton-Owens family is fighting over Dolly's estate." She emphasized their unity by saying, "...we love Brian just as we all love each other." Brian Seaver, Dolly's nephew, was long relied upon by Dolly as her head of security. Dolly even chose him to announce her death in a widely viewed video. However, following her passing, Brian became entangled in legal disputes concerning threats and misconduct. Dolly's manager, Danny Nosal, filed a restraining order against Brian citing his terrorizing conduct. Allegations claimed Brian described himself as a mercenary and threatened to disrupt Dolly's businesses. Brian later defended himself, stating, "...I am a security professional and I am a killer." He claimed that his comments were simply two friends grieving together, not threats.
