After Dolly Parton's death, her estate, She's Alive, LLC, became embroiled in controversy when it fired her nephew Bryan Seaver, head of security.

In a lawsuit filed by the pop icon's estate, they asked the court to issue them a temporary restraining order against Seaver.

According to them, Parton's nephew threatened them and also exerted pressure on them.

In response, Seaver has strongly denied the estate's allegations.

The estate drama put the unity of the Partons' family at risk, as some fans feared.

Now, Parton’s sister Stella, in his statement, put them to the ground.

“Good morning, look at this beautiful day we are blessed to receive!" she said in a post on Facebook.

Then, Stella explicitly stated, “We are still intact and moving forward because our children and grandchildren look to us for strength and guidance during this difficult time of loss and confusion for them as well."

"Regardless of what you may have seen on different news outlets, we are all doing what you would be doing under the same circumstances," she added.

“Tomorrow there will be a celebration in my sister’s honour, and I thank you again for your support of her and your kind thoughts. "God bless all of you, and have a wonderful day!” Stella concluded.
