Bryan Seaver's lawyers defend him against allegations stemming from a legal dispute with Danny Nozell, who filed for a restraining order on behalf of Dolly Parton’s estate. The attorneys argue that text messages attributed to Seaver were misleading and taken out of context during a time when the family was grieving over Dolly Parton’s passing. They assert that the court granted the restraining order without hearing both sides of the story, emphasizing their client's desire for an amicable resolution.

Story summary
Bryan Seaver, nephew of country music star Dolly Parton, is embroiled in a legal dispute with her business manager, Danny Nozell, over texts that were allegedly misleading and taken out of context. Seaver's lawyers, Dominic J. Leonardo and James L. Collier, say the court granted an ex parte restraining order against Seaver without hearing his side of the story. They argue that Seaver, who was tasked with announcing Parton’s passing by her family, prefers to remain private and the ordeal has been distressing for him and his family. The lawyers state the dispute began when Nozell took the matter to court and media while the family was grieving, presenting an incomplete narrative of events.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.

“Mr. Seaver has always been a private person, but he was chosen by his aunt, with his family’s approval, to make the announcement about Dolly’s passing,” attorneys Dominic J. Leonardo and James L. Collier exclusively told Page Six in a statement on behalf of Seaver.

“He would have preferred to remain a private person as this ordeal has taken a toll on his family,” the statement continued.

The legal eagles explained that the dispute arose between Seaver, described as a family member “also in charge of Dolly’s private security,” and her business manager, Danny Nozell.

“While the family was grieving, the business manager went to Court and the media with a surprising and incomplete story,” the lawyers continued, adding, “Seeing text messages that are misleading and taken out of context has been very hurtful to our client and his family.”

They also claimed that the manager’s restraining order against Seaver was “granted ‘Ex Parte'” — a legal term meaning that the court hadn’t yet heard Seaver’s “side of the story, which is coming.”
“While Mr. Seaver and family work through this they trust the bright light of Dolly’s legacy remains untouched and they are eager to amicably and expeditiously resolve this matter,” the statement concluded.
