Dolly Parton’s sister has dismissed reports of a family feud following a temporary restraining order issued against the late country icon's nephew.
Freida Parton took to social media after a Tennessee judge issued the order against Bryan Seaver and his private security firm amid a dispute over the late star’s business management.
Freida wrote: "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."

Seaver, the son of Parton’s sister Cassie, previously handled security for the singer and her properties for years,
Seaver was personally selected by his aunt to break the news of her passing last month.
However, a temporary restraining order was issued on Wednesday after She’s Alive, the entity founded by Parton’s longtime manager Danny Nozell to safeguard her estate, filed a complaint against Seaver and his company, Squadron Augmented Protection Services.
According to court documents reported by the Associated Press, the grant was ordered after assessing the alleged threats of violence, demands for payment, and potential damage to Parton’s legacy.
The judge also granted the order after assessing Seaver's access to weapons and experience with violence, the Associated Press reported.
