LOS ANGELES, Nov 6 — The manager of US country music legend Dolly Parton dropped a civil lawsuit against the singer’s nephew on Thursday, US media reported, after a row enveloped the late musician’s estate.
The lawsuit filed in September by Parton’s longtime manager Danny Nozell accused her nephew, Bryan Seaver, of attempting to extort money from the estate, which includes an amusement park, a hotel and a soon-to-be-opened museum.
Seaver, who broke the news of the singer’s death at age 80 in an emotional video in August, had provided security for Parton for years but was abruptly fired, according to TMZ.
Court filings alleged that Seaver sent threats including a text message warning he would become “the hand of retribution for my entire family,” The New York Times reported.
