Dolly Parton's Nephew Bryan Seaver Fighting Estate's Temporary Restraining Order
TMZ • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Bryan Seaver, Dolly Parton's nephew, has filed legal documents asking a judge to dismiss the case against him brought by the entity managing Dolly Parton's estate, calling the lawsuit baseless.
- Seaver denies threatening Danny Nozell or anyone involved with the estate, claiming his controversial text messages were jokes and that Nozell's responses show he understood the humor.
- He refutes allegations of creating a "culture of fear" or engaging in "outrageous or oppressive conduct" at the estate.
- Seaver requests the court to dissolve the temporary restraining order (TRO), dismiss the case with prejudice, and order the estate to cover his legal expenses.
- The dispute began after Seaver was fired from his security role in September following his texts to Nozell, leading the estate to obtain a restraining order against him.
