Dolly Parton's sister, Freida Parton, has said there is no "feud" within the family after the late singer's estate filed a temporary restraining order against her nephew, Bryan Seaver.
Seaver, who is the son of Parton's other sister Cassie, served as her long-time head of security and also made the video announcement confirming her death.
What did Frieda Parton say about Bryan Seaver's scandal?
Freida shared a statement addressing the dispute, penning, "I'll say this and this only: there is no feud within our family."
"No-one among the Parton/Owens family is fighting over Dolly's estate. We all love Bryan, just as we all love each other. I love you all!!" Frieda penned on her social media.
The clarification came after trouble between Seaver and Dolly's long-time manager Danny Nozell made headlines.
About the restraining order filed against Bryan Seaver
In the temporary restraining order requested by She's Alive, the company that manages Parton's business interests, it claims Seaver sent threatening messages over several weeks.
The restraining order would keep Parton's nephew from within 1,000 feet of her Nashville, Tennessee, offices and inserting himself into her businesses.
She's Alive terminated Seaver and Squadron Augmented Protection Services last week, saying his "terrorising conduct made their continued retention untenable", according to court documents seen by the Associated Press.
Dolly Parton's nephew on being fired from her estate
Bryan Seaver told ABC News, "The restraining order is spurious and simply a publicity stunt."
He added, "I was fired. After the estate negotiated with me and my company for services in perpetuity and agreed to that service provision from my company."
"A week later they fired me for these contrived 'threats'."
Dolly Parton, the country icon known globally for hits including 9 to 5, Jolene and I Will Always Love You, died last month at the age of 80 after a brief battle with cancer.
She had asked Bryan Seaver to be the person who would announce her death when the time came.
