Dolly Parton's Nephew Accused of Implementing Measures to Avoid Being Served Lawsuit, Estate Says

The estate says three service attempts failed as it seeks a longer injunction to curb alleged threats and interference with Parton’s business relationships.

  • Lawyers for Dolly Parton's estate, She's Alive, LLC, allege her nephew, Bryan Seaver, used barbed wire and caution tape to block access to his home while avoiding service of a lawsuit.
  • SAL filed a temporary restraining order against Seaver on September 22, alleging the nephew threatened to smear his aunt's legacy and made threats against several of her employees.
  • A process server reported failing to reach Seaver on September 24 and 25; upon returning Saturday, September 26, the server wrote there were "no trespassing" signs on the lawn and by the front door.
  • Officials agreed on Tuesday to reschedule the hearing for temporary injunctive relief to October 20, extending the temporary restraining order against Seaver until that date.
  • Lawyers allege Seaver employed a "campaign of threats" to "extract money" from Parton's business interests, justifying the estate's efforts to serve him despite his alleged evasive measures.
