KOCO • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Dolly Parton's nephew, Bryan Seaver, is accused by her estate's officials of evading service of a lawsuit by placing barbed wire and caution tape around his front door to avoid legal papers related to a temporary restraining order.
- The restraining order, filed by She's Alive, LLC (SAL), a company established by Parton to protect her business interests, alleges Seaver threatened to damage Parton's legacy and made threats against employees.
- Seaver, who announced Parton's death in August and served as her head of security, is facing legal action after SAL claimed he engaged in a campaign of threats to extract money from her business.
- Legal filings show multiple failed attempts to serve Seaver with court documents, with evidence of "no trespassing" signs and physical barriers preventing access to his home.
- A court hearing originally scheduled has been rescheduled to October 20, with the temporary restraining order against Seaver extended until then.
