Dolly Parton’s Nephew Claims He Sold $27 Million in Arms to Haitian Police on the Day She Died
Dolly Parton’s family drama has taken an unexpected turn following shocking claims made by her nephew, Bryan Seaver, in the middle of a growing legal dispute surrounding the country music legend’s estate.
Seaver, who previously worked as Parton’s head of security, allegedly claimed that he sold millions of dollars worth of ammunition and weapons to Haitian police on the day the singer died.
Dolly Parton’s Nephew Makes Shocking Statement
According to legal documents filed by She’s Alive LLC, the company overseeing Dolly Parton’s estate, Bryan Seaver made several alarming statements in messages to the singer’s longtime manager and attorney.
In one email dated September 3, Seaver reportedly wrote:
“I’m not an entertainment person. I’m a killer. I sold $27 million worth of ammunition and arms to the Haitian Police on the day Dolly died.”
He also referenced his military background and work involving foreign governments.
The claims were included in a lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order against Seaver following allegations of threats and intimidation.
Estate Dispute Escalates After Seaver’s Dismissal
Seaver was reportedly dismissed from his role as head of security for Dolly Parton’s estate on September 15.
His company had provided security services for several Parton properties, including her home in Nashville, museum, and warehouse.
Following his dismissal, the estate accused him of making threatening statements and attempting to damage Dolly’s business empire.
The legal filing also included messages in which Seaver allegedly threatened to destroy the Dolly brand and expose business disputes publicly.
Bryan Seaver Denies Making Threats
Seaver has pushed back against the allegations, telling media outlets that his words were taken out of context.
He acknowledged his background as a military contractor and security professional but denied threatening anyone.
Seaver also explained that Dolly Parton had jokingly referred to him as “her killer,” claiming the nickname was part of their family’s private humor.
He described the messages as emotional conversations between people grieving the singer’s death.
A Legal Battle Over Dolly Parton’s Legacy
The dispute has raised questions about the management of Dolly Parton’s estate and the relationships surrounding her business empire.
A Tennessee judge granted a temporary restraining order against Seaver and his security company. The order restricts contact with employees, attorneys, and business partners of She’s Alive LLC.
A court hearing is scheduled for October 7.
For now, the allegations remain part of an ongoing legal dispute, while Seaver continues to deny that his comments were intended as threats.
