Dolly Parton's manager seeks restraining order against singer's nephew in inheritance dispute

Dolly Parton's manager, Danny Nozell, has filed for a restraining order against the singer's nephew, Bryan Seaver, alleging extortion and threats related to her inheritance. Seaver, who was fired from his security role last month, denies the accusations and claims his comments were misinterpreted.

Danny Nozell, the manager of the late country music icon Dolly Parton, has filed for a restraining order against the singer's nephew, Bryan Seaver. Seaver, who previously served as Parton's head of security before being terminated on September 15, is accused of attempting to extort Nozell by leveraging his access to weapons and threatening violence. Nozell claims that Seaver demanded a larger share of the inheritance and threatened to retaliate against his family while damaging Parton's brand through a podcast if his demands were not met. The conflict has reportedly created a climate of fear, with members of Nozell's management team hiring personal security out of concern for their safety.

In response to these allegations, Seaver has denied threatening anyone, arguing that his comments were taken out of context. The legal filings seek to bar the nephew from interfering with Parton's business affairs and mandate that he stay away from the management office. Dolly Parton passed away last month at the age of 80, leaving behind a legacy spanning over sixty years.
