Dolly Parton’s sister Stella says her family have been “subjected to incredible pressure and insensitivity from strangers” since the country music icon’s death.

The 77-year-old singer has hit out at the “AI and endless garbage” that has been posted about her sister after her death from cancer at age 80

In an Instagram post, Stella penned: “First let me say, thank you to the ones of you who have shown ‘genuine’ support and love during this time of our family bereavement.

“We will be okay in time but each of us will grieve in our own personal way. Every human being experiences pain and loss in life and my family is no different.”
