On Wednesday afternoon, Dolly posted a video on X saying that she was okay. She captioned it, “I ain’t dead yet!”
“I know lately everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am,” Dolly said. “I wanted to put everybody’s mind at ease, those of you that seemed to be real concerned — which I appreciate, and I appreciate your prayers, because I’m a person of faith.”
She explained that she had “some problems” and didn’t take care of herself well after her husband’s death. Parton said her doctor encouraged her to take a few treatments, causing her to reschedule some appearances and stay close to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
