A Tennessee judge granted Dolly Parton’s estate a temporary restraining order Wednesday against her nephew, Bryan Seaver, and his private security company, according to CBS News.
The estate has accused Seaver of threatening violence, intimidating people connected with Parton’s businesses and attempting to damage the late country music star’s legacy and business interests, ABC News reported. It asked the court to keep him away from estate employees and prevent him from interfering in its business dealings.
BBC News described the allegations as coming from Parton’s manager and said Seaver was accused of attempting to extort the estate. Seaver had announced Parton’s death publicly, according to the BBC.
The reports do not provide details of Seaver’s response to the allegations, the specific restrictions imposed by the court or when a further hearing may take place. A temporary restraining order is an interim court measure and does not amount to a final ruling on the allegations.
