Dolly Parton’s sister Stella Parton slammed the AI posts and “snarky tweets” she and her family have been subjected to in the days following the country icon’s death at the age of 80.
The 77-year-old musician took to Instagram to ask internet users to “show more compassion” as her family mourns their loss.
Stella posted two slides of a typed letter, writing in part, “We will all be okay, but each of us will grieve in our own personal way. Unfortunately, because of the way our lives have been in front of the public, we have no choice but to be subjected to incredible pressure and insensitivity from strangers.”
She continued, “There’s a huge amount of AI and endless junk being posted every day and it’s a challenge to absorb or ignore.”
The star wrote elsewhere in the post that Dolly “loved her fans and the public in general.” That is why she has chosen not to publicly express her opinions on many issues, such as politics, religion and individuals.”
“She knew as well as anyone what a negative vortex that could turn into and that is nothing but a huge waste of positive energy.”

She urged her 123,000 followers: “Use my sister’s life as an example of tolerance and respect for others.”
‘It’s not about the smartest comments, fake AI crap or snarky tweets. How will you feel about yourself at the end of the day or at the end of your life? It’s not about what other people you’ll never meet think of you!’
It comes after Stella revealed the extent of her famous sister’s generosity last week.
In a Facebook post, she revealed that during her secret battle with cancer, Dolly was willing to try experimental drugs “in hopes of helping others in the future.”
She described her late sibling as “one of the most generous, thoughtful and kind people I have ever known.”
The grieving sister added, “If anyone goes to heaven, I’m sure she made it right on time. I know she shows herself enormously, in all her glitter and shine. That was my sister’s way.”
Stella, who is also a singer-songwriter, then gave fans a glimpse into the weekly routine she had with Dolly.
“Every Tuesday around this time, before the sun came up and the world was still asleep, she and I would have our coffee together over the phone for years,” Stella said. ‘As little farm girls, we have always been early risers. As she liked to say; “shoot Tedda, we get more work done before the sun comes up than most people do all day!”
