On August 25, it was Bryan Seaver, nephew of Dolly Parton, who announced that she had passed away.
For many, this sad and formal announcement on her official page was their first introduction to him.
Now, in a stunning shakeup, he and his security companies have been fired from all family properties.
This could be a simple change … or the opening shot in a battle over the late icon’s estate.
Dolly Parton’s nephew has been abruptly fired
TMZ got a look at a termination letter that Bryan Seaver, nephew of the late great Dolly Parton, received.
He was her longtime head of security.
The letter informed him that he and his security companies are immediately dismissed from every one of his late aunt’s properties.
That meant Dolly’s main residence in Nashville.
It also included her museum, her downtown residence, and her warehouse.
It seems that the abrupt dismissal was timed with a replacement, to avoid gaps in security.
A new security team reportedly descended upon these properties.
Sometimes, the sudden death of a loved one — particularly the most monied member of a family — can lead to infighting and squabbling over a sprawling estate.
This means that some moves can be mere corrections or normal courses of action following a tragic death, while others can be power plays that lead to lengthy and ugly court battles.
Is an estate war brewing? Gosh, we hope not.
What does this mean? Bryan Seaver is speaking out
Bryan Seaver and his team are calling out Pinnacle Bank and Dolly Parton’s longtime manager, Danny Nozell.
Speaking to TMZ, they shared that they feel “dismayed by the unexpected and, so far, unexplained actions” following her death.
“We remain unshakably resolved to fulfill her final directive to protect her family,” the statement affirmed.
‘And we refuse to be intimidated by those whose actions we believe are being taken in bad faith,” they added.
“And,” the statement continued, “with the intent to profit from the life of someone who willingly gave so much.”
According to the termination letter that Seaver received, the properties and professional interests that were once Dolly’s are now under the control of the DP Dean Trust.
The document does acknowledge that her nephew’s personal financial interest in the trust remains intact.
However, he no longer has any security duties.
Even if this was the right move for some unexplained reason, that has to hurt Seaver. He is, after all, grieving the passing of his aunt.
Our thoughts continue to go out to all who loved Dolly (and isn’t that all of us?). The world is worse in her absence.

Popular “looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular is in some serious legal trouble.
The internet personality, whose real name is Braden Peters, has been charged with rape, drugging a person for sexual intercourse, and providing alcohol to a minor in Massachusetts (per TMZ).
According to court records, the charges were filed on September 8 in connection with an alleged incident that took place in May 2025.
Peters, 20, was arrested in June and is scheduled to be arraigned on October 14.
It’s important to note that as of this writing, he has not been convicted of any wrongdoing.
The allegations appear to be connected to claims made by influencer Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, who filed a civil lawsuit against Peters earlier this year.
Mendoza alleges that she met Peters when she was 16 and was paid $1,000 to appear in videos as the female face of his “looksmaxxing” content.
According to her lawsuit, Mendoza later traveled to Peters’ family home on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where she says alcohol was provided and she became heavily intoxicated.
Mendoza alleges that Peters then had sex with her while she was unable to consent. She further alleges that she woke up the following morning to Peters having sex with her again without her consent.
Peters has denied the allegations.
His representative pushed back against the way the criminal case was being characterized, telling TMZ that Peters had not been physically served and accusing The Bulwark, which first reported the charges, of exaggerating the situation.
“Braden Peters has not been physically served. As usual, the Bulwark is exaggerating,” representative Mitchell Jackson said, according to NBC News.
A representative for Peters also told TMZ that Mendoza initially filed her civil lawsuit without a sexual-assault claim, then amended it several months later to add one.
Peters’ attorney, Steve Kramer, previously said the allegations in the civil case were “unproven” and that his client intended to defend himself through the appropriate legal channels.
Meanwhile, Peters has addressed the latest controversy himself.
“Happens to all successful young men, people try to come for your money. Greed is evil,” he wrote on X, according to Complex.
For now, the criminal case is moving forward, with Peters expected in court next month.
Clavicular controversies seem to pop up at the rate of about one per month.
But given the serious nature of the charges, this is one legal battle the controversial influencer certainly won’t be able to simply scroll past.

No one is reeling more from Presley Gerber’s tragic death at 27 than his mother, Cindy Crawford.
He was so young. He was also at a rehab facility at the time of his death.
It sounds like he was getting help, just like you’re supposed to.
Now, his loved ones — especially his immediate family — are having to grapple with this terrible new reality.
Cindy Crawford ‘has to be beyond gutted’
A source spoke to Page Six about how Cindy Crawford is processing the sudden passing of her son, Presley Gerber.
“They were so close,” the insider remarked.
“What you saw online and in the press wasn’t just for that purpose,” the source said, debunking PR suspicions.
“They were a tight-knit family,” the insider described, “and Kaia and Presley were more than just siblings.”
The source then stated: “Cindy has to be beyond gutted.”
A second insider also spoke about the state of the family.
“Cindy is inconsolable,” the source described.
“She’s absolutely devastated,” added the insider.
“This is every parent’s worst nightmare,” the source emphasized.
“And,” the insider continued, “the family is still trying to process everything that happened.”
‘She was so involved in everything’
“Cindy was extremely involved in everything when it came to Kaia and Presley growing up,” a source said of Cindy Crawford’s role as a mother.
“She never missed a school function,” the insider detailed, “and was on top of everything when it came to her kids.”
The source opined: “I’m sure that Cindy would make sure her kid was going to the best rehab though.”
The insider continued: “That’s the kind of mom she was. She was so involved in everything for them.”
Beyond the family, the report detailed that Presley’s “entire friend group is devastated” by his sudden and tragic death.
On Sunday, September 20, Santa Monica Police Department officers were dispatched to a rehab facility.
That same weekend, Presley had reportedly checked in for treatment.
His causes of death is believed to have been from a drug overdose. That is not unusual for those with long-term addiction struggles, but it is unexpected when someone is currently in a rehab facility.
Presley was only 27. This horrific loss has sent shockwaves through family, friends, and fans.
Our hearts go out to all who knew and loved him. No one should have to deal with this pain. We hope that, when the time comes, answers can give them the closure that they need.
