## Summary

Dolly Parton’s estate reportedly fired her niece Rebecca Seaver from her role overseeing the singer’s museum, just weeks after its archives opened. The dismissal comes amid a wider dispute over Parton’s estate and its operations.

TMZ reported that Seaver’s staff were also let go, though the number of people affected is unknown. In September, the estate sought a restraining order against Seaver’s brother Bryan and removed him from his duties; a court filing accused him of threats and intimidation. Rebecca Seaver has not commented on the reported firing.
