Overview
- Freida Parton told WJHL/News Channel 11 that Dolly did not reprimand her over an October Facebook post asking fans to pray.
- She said she asked for prayers because that is how their mother taught the family to respond when someone is unwell.
- Fans flooded social media after the post, prompting Dolly to post an Instagram video the next day saying she was okay and "ain’t dead yet."
- Dolly had postponed her Las Vegas residency in late September, writing that she needed to complete a few procedures after health challenges.
- Subsequent updates in People reported she was getting better, reinforcing that the latest family comments are meant to calm concerns rather than signal new issues.
