While thanking those who have “shown ‘genuine’ support and love during this time of our family bereavement,” she slammed “those who are in the business of exploiting the loss and tragedies of others” while noting they will eventually “move on to the next stampede of endless misinformation.” Watch on Deadline Stella Parton, like her sister a singer-songwriter, assured fans that the Parton family “will be okay in time but each of us will grieve in our own personal way.” “My big sister Dolly would be surprised and delighted by the love her family and she has been shown during this time.
