The name of singer Dolly Parton is linked to a new controversy. This began after announcing that his nephew Brian Seaver, who served as his head of security for many years, was fired from his position for no apparent reason.

According to documents obtained by the TMZ portal, the dismissal goes beyond his functions as chief security officer.

The motive ? Security companies linked to Seaver were removed from Parton’s properties where they kept guard permanently. Such properties include: the main residence, a property located in the center of Nashville, its museum and a warehouse.

The same document mentions that after the displacement of Brian Seaver and his companies, a new security team took over the above-mentioned properties.

It is also highlighted that these actions took place at a critical time within the administration of the deceased Dolly Parton’s assets, which are under the structure of the DP Dean Trust.

About this term of unjustified labor contract, Brian Seaver himself issued a statement broadcast by TMZ in which he directly accused Danny Nozell, the country star’s representative.

“We are consterned by the unexpected and, so far, unexplained actions that have been taken since Dolly’s death,” the singer’s nephew said.

Under this same thesis, he stated that he and the rest of his family will not remove the finger from the line until the will of the interpreter of “Jolene” is fulfilled.

“We remain firmly determined to comply with her final directive of protecting her family and we refuse to feel intimidated by those whose actions we believe are being carried out in bad faith and with the intention of obtaining benefits from the life of someone who voluntarily gave so much,” he said.
