“The manager of the late country music star Dolly Parton has dropped a lawsuit against her nephew. The civil case was filed by the company that manages Parton’s business interests less than a month after her death. It included allegations of threats, intimidation and coercion against Bryan Seaver, the relative who publicly confirmed Parton had died in August. A temporary restraining order was also sought. Seaver, who previously served as Parton’s head of security, denied the allegations. In a statement to the BBC’s US partner, CBS News, Seaver’s attorneys said he was ‘grateful to put this misunderstanding behind him so that the family can grieve peacefully’.” (11/07/26)
