Dolly Parton’s sister, Stella Parton, cryptically chimed in on family feud rumors after the late Grammy winner’s head of security and nephew, Bryan Seaver, was fired.

“All families have the same struggles since we are all living in this world having a human experience,” Stella wrote via Facebook Thursday.

“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.”

Stella, 77, warned readers to be wary about what they’ve been reading online, adding, “Regardless of what you may have seen on different news outlets, we are all doing what you would be doing under the same circumstances.”

Elsewhere in the statement, Stella once again honored Dolly’s life, revealing there will be a celebration in the “I Will Always Love You” crooner’s honor on Friday.

“Tomorrow will be one month since my big sister Dolly left us on this side of what is called reality,” she wrote. “I feel her presence now as much as always. Her light will never go out because the seeds of goodness she planted in all our lives will keep growing!”

Stella thanked fans for their “outpouring of love” as she and her family “grieve” the country icon’s passing.

“We are also grieving the loss of our brother Denver, who passed less than a month before her,” she said, referring to the crane operator, who died in July at the age of 82.

“I thank you again for your support of her and your kind thoughts. God bless all of you and have a wonderful day!”

Dolly’s family has been making headlines ever since Seaver was let go from his longtime security role.

TMZ reported Sunday that Seaver — who announced Dolly’s death via Instagram on Aug. 25 — received notice that he and his security company were fired from protecting Dolly’s properties.

Seaver was dismissed on Sept. 16, and a new security company took over the “9 to 5” singer’s Nashville, Tennessee, home, museum, warehouse and additional properties.

Seaver’s team told the outlet they were “dismayed by the unexpected and, so far, unexplained actions” that have occurred since Dolly’s passing, claiming they believe changes may be occurring in “bad faith.”

“We remain unshakably resolved to fulfill [Parton’s] final directive to protect her family, and we refuse to be intimidated by those whose actions we believe are being taken in bad faith and with the intent to profit from the life of someone who willingly gave so much,” the team added.

Additionally, Dolly’s longtime manager, Danny Nozell, filed a restraining order against Seaver on Tuesday, alleging that the latter has been attempting to extort him for money and threatening him since before the actress died.

According to TMZ, Nozell claimed Seaver threatened to invoke “his self-proclaimed military-contractor experience, access to weapons, and capacity for violence” to obtain funds.

“All I do is warfare … everyone needs to be worried about what I might do,” Nozell alleged Seaver told him in a message.

“Her money better be bigger than I can make elsewhere or I’m going to f–k everyone,” Seaver allegedly wrote in a separate message. “I am about to become the hand of retribution for my entire family.”

However, Seaver insisted the messages were misinterpreted, telling the outlet, “Nothing in this lawsuit were threats and most of the comments I stand by. I was talking frankly in a private way with Danny who I thought was my friend and he fancies himself a gangster.”

Seaver continued, “A lot of these messages are two guys having rage talk and crying on the phone together while we were grieving.”

The restraining order would prohibit Seaver from being within 1,000 feet of Dolly’s offices in Nashville and from being involved in her businesses.
