The Only Man Dolly Parton Ever Threatened to Sue.

The Only Man Dolly Parton Ever Threatened to Sue. In 2008, someone took Dolly Parton's voice and put words in it she never said. It is the only time in a sixty-year career that she ever publicly threatened to sue another person — and she never filed. This is the full record. The 1976 contract suit in a Waco courthouse over four thousand five hundred dollars. Porter Wagoner's three million dollar claim in 1979 and the settlement that followed it. The 1985 copyright trial over Nine to Five that she later called degrading. And then the sixth of May, 2008, when staff on The Howard Stern Show re-cut the audiobook of her memoir into a fabrication, and Dolly Parton finally said the thing she had never said about anybody. Why she threatened him. Why the law was never going to let her win. And why she made the threat anyway, knowing exactly that. Sources listed in the pinned comment.
