  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, the fight over Dolly Parton's estate
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: is getting crazy. Also, almost getting violent with her nephew,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Brian Seaver, being accused of threatening that he's going to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: ruin Dolly Parton if he doesn't get what he wants,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: threatening that he's going to use violence. But we have
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the best in the business, maybe the best in the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: country to talk about this. Anne-Margaret Carozza, host of Laws
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of Your Money with Anne-Margaret Carozza. Sundays at 1030. And Margaret,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: help us walk through this. What is happening? And this
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: is bizarre.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: It's very bizarre, guys. We know that a Tennessee judge...
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: issued a temporary restraining order against Dolly Parton's nephew and
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: longtime head of security, Brian Seaver. Now, it's interesting, you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: there are standards by which a judge issues a temporary
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: restraining order. So this is not just a war of words.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: The judge had to be satisfied that there was an
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: urgent threat of serious harm that could not be remedied
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: later with money damages. So yeah, a lot going on here.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: There's going to be a full hearing on October 7th,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: but the allegations are that he threatened violence. He texted
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the management of Dolly Parton's estate that he's a killer
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: with paramilitary connections and threatened to launch a podcast to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: ruin Dolly Parton's brand partnerships. Now, you know, these are
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: worth hundreds of millions of dollars. She had brand partnerships
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: with Duncan Hines, with William Sonoma, and threatening her reputation
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and the brand partnerships could tank the estate. Wow. So.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: He is involved. He was very close, obviously, to Dolly Parton,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: not only head of security, but he was seen with
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: her whenever she would travel as her nephew. Could he
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: possibly have been left his name in the will? And
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: will that lead into an even more exacerbated internal battle
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: over what she bequeathed?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, none of us know for sure what was
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: in the will, what was in the trust. That has
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: not yet been made public. And obviously, I have no
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: personal connection with the estate. But based on decades of
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: doing this, what I believe is that he was insulted
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: in some way. his ego, there was a blow to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: his ego because as you mentioned, Curtis, he was very
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: close with Dolly Parton and he is the one that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: she chose to announce to the world when she passed away.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: So it's not the usual case where you have some
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: screwball relative, right? That you know in advance that this
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: person is going to be a problem. and the estate
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: planning needs to do something to put this person in
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: a box, right? We might say that cousin John the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: fruitcake gets $ 20, 000, but if he causes problems, he gets nothing, right?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: That's the hammer over his head. That does not seem
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to be the case here. And in the request for
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the temporary restraining order, the estate management LLC, together with
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton's longtime manager, Danny Nuzell, specifically said that this
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: has no bearing on Brian Seaver's interest in the estate,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: which tells me that, yes, he is a beneficiary of
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the estate, but he's not He's not going to be
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: very popular with the other relatives.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing. They put out a statement saying
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: we still love him very much and we support him.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: The whole thing is so bizarre. Ann-Margaret Carrozza, we need
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: to talk about this again. Host of The Laws of
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Your Money with Ann-Margaret Carrozza, Sunday at 10.30. Thanks a lot, Ann-Margaret.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
• 4:43
