Dolly Parton’s estate is alleging that Bryan Seaver, the country icon’s nephew and former head of security, used a “no trespassing” sign and barbed wire to avoid being served legal documents. There is an active restraining order and lawsuit against Seaver by Parton’s company, She’s Alive LLC, which is run by Parton’s former manager, Danny Nozell, for allegedly threatening and extorting her estate. Seaver served as Parton’s head of security for more than 20 years and, on Aug. 25, delivered the news of his aunt’s death via a video on her Instagram account. Legal troubles for Seaver first came to light on Sept. 22 when a case was filed by She’s Alive in Davidson County Chancery Court in Nashville on the heels of Seaver’s termination as head of security. Both Seaver and his company, Squadron Augmented Protection Services LLC, are the defendants in the lawsuit. In documents reviewed by the New York Times, Seaver is accused of mounting “an obscene, deliberate and escalating campaign of threats” to acquire money from the Parton estate, including a profane threat made toward at least one Dollywood business partner.

Leonardo and James L. Collier, Seaver appeared to accuse Parton's longtime manager Danny Nozell of presenting a one-sided account of their dispute and argued that messages cited in court filings have been taken out of context. Newsweek contacted Nozell via email for comment on Monday. The comments come as newly filed documents obtained by Newsweek show the estate continuing to rely on emails allegedly sent by Seaver as it pursues claims against him. The dispute centers on allegations that Seaver interfered with estate-related business relationships after Parton's death, claims he denies. A court hearing is scheduled for October 20 as both sides continue filing new evidence. Seaver Says Dispute Has Become Public Ordeal Seaver's attorneys issued a statement Monday describing the case as a private family matter that has become increasingly public. "Mr.
