Dollywood is a magical place it’s not their fault one bad apple was hired by someone working with them I love Dollywood and will continue to visit here until I pass away thanks for your wonderful magical place where I feel happy
Dolly has always embraced her Southern heritage and went beyond any entertainer’s generosity toward her hometown. Her absolute love of children and helping those less fortunate are what makes her such a special and loved person. She chose to sever her relationship with this company and I think it speaks volumes to how much integrity she has ALWAYS had. We’ll always LOVE Dolly because she has a heart of Gold!!!!
Dollywood brings lot of j1s and hd3 from other countries every year they don’t follow safely rules and most can’t speak English yet they build housing for them while americas are kicked out of the housing that work there. I don’t think it is right are fair yet they get pay more than the america worker.
You’re 100% correct. Instead they blame it all on Joe Biden & tell blacks that they’re “taking” their jobs. When the truth is, the jobs are being handed to them!!!
Dolly ,my wife and really admire the way that you and Husband has kept families entertained with Dollywood,even though we don’t know each other I wanted to let you know that my wife and myself feel like we’re related when I was in the service, I,d listen to your songs.
(DOLLY) is truly hands down a Southern Gem!!! Dolly poses grace, style, class, charm. Shes done alot for her native sevierville and the surrounding areas. She truly dosent need our opinions or feedback and dosent need to feel sorry because some goof ball didnt have all his ducks in a row! Lets not forget the many lives she has touched over the years with her music and Lets not forget people that Dolly is only human like all of us. Shes not God. She can only do so much But so much Dolly has gave, shared and continues to do so everyday by always helping those in need and giving back to her community. Thank God for dollywood, Thank god for dolly. Keep doing what you do best dolly and lets all be thankful for the lives, hearts, charities, businesses that YOU are apart of including mine. Thanks ( DOLLY) for always giving back and paying it forward. GOD BLESS YOU.
Just at President Trump said, there are bad people that are coming over to this country. Businesses have to be more vigilant on checking out who is hired!
I applaud the idea of making sure that sure bad people don’t come into the country. That’s why it’s important to have policies and procedures in place. It’s great for a candidate like former president Donald Trump to voice an opposition to immigration of criminals. So did McCain when he ran. I liked McCain because he has a plan. It wasn’t just words and shouting. He showed facts and figures. Plus I liked him because he was a war hero. He had proven he would work with the ultra conservative side of he GOP, the middle ground moderates, and even the far Left side of the Republican party. Bigger than that he had proven he could and would work with Democrats – even the far left radicals like Bernie Sanders. I would rather have a president who gets things done in 4 years than a guy who just complains about things. I’m not going to say I wouldn’t vote for Donald Trump or what he talks about. I would love to. But the sad truth is he hasn’t shown any plans. Even his facts and figures are wrong. He got part of the wall built but what good is part of a wall. The truth is (what nobody wants to face including me but I was convinced when I looked at the big picture) is that if we elect Trump the country will stand still and fall apart. But if we elect the Kamala Harris woman or whoever the Dems put out there SOME good things will get done (because we have a conservative Congress and Supreme Court to keep her mom n check). I would rather have Some good things done under any Democrat than nothing get done and our great country die with Trump in office. He’d be blamed for it afterwards in history to! I can’t do that to our country or to Donald Trump’s legacy. That is why I have to vote for the Democratic candidate. Since it’s not Biden. As Trump said. Anyone would be better than Biden. So I will votte for whoever. And then I will know you that places like Dollywood will still be here for our grandkids and their grandkids.God Bless Dolly Parton!
I met Dolly in 89 we have been best friends ever since and im sure when comes to her theme park she is more devoted than anyoe I have ever seen love ya
It’s been 26yrs since I visited and my favorite was the eagle sanctuary. You started it to employ family. Disappointed that you have outsiders employed there.
Dolly has brought a tremendous amount of tax dollars to the area not to mention jobs. I would prefer her to use local teenagers to employ to help them earn extra money.
1st of all, Dolly employs people who want to work! 2nd, most people don’t want to do clean up, it’s beneath them so yea the foreigners get the jobs. Don’t be mad. 3rd, Dolly offers paid college tuition to her employees
Top that!
I definitely know Dolly would not have ever had a Man that committed such a horrible crime nowhere near her Park 👍 Dollywood is a Stress Reliever to My Wife And I 😊 we have gotten Passed for the last 20 Years ! And will continue to go and enjoy Dollywood until our health won’t let us go 👌 In the 20 Years in a Row we haven’t ever seen a Fight which is amazing cause People enjoy their Self so much ! The Staff and Workers keep the Park Looking Great and The Staff is very Helpful 💙😊💙 Can’t hardly wait for Luminights 👍 My favorite time @ Dollywood ! We Love Dolly and Dollywood ❤️💙💛💜🩵🩷🤍💚
Thank God they got this guy arrested and of there. Dolly has a very great co- partnership with the management of the park. So glad they separated away from that company. Hope they will hire better people next time in need and do more screening checks for the future.
I will be looking forward to visiting to Dollywood in my family’s future. It’s been on the bucket list for a while.
There are so many foreigners working there now. It is not the same Dollywood I grew up with where at every turn there was a retired American greeting you. It felt like Grandma’s front porch. Now the workers don’t speak English, are rude, and it has become just another theme park. It used to feel safe. Smoke consumes it and even the music changed. This year was the year I decided not to go back. 45 years of going 3-4 times a year halted. It’s another miniature Disney….sex trafficking and all.
The unfortunate truth is there are people with bad intentions everywhere – such as a sex offender secretly tricking his way into the Dollywood payroll. But there are also heroes in the world. Dolly Parton can’t fix everyone’s problems, but she can use her noterierty and the influence and “power” to do as much good as possible. And that is exactly what I observe her do. Dollywood is a prime example of this. I would love to take my special needs son and his siblings to the park one day. (If course in my dream version I would take a break to do a duet with Ms Parton – dare to dream). I myself have a long affiliation with entertainment. I am the personal publicist for Steven Adler of Guns N Roses fame (one of the greatest guys ever who overcame so much). I previously worked on projects for Janet Jackson, Alex Grossi of Quiet Riot, Blake Sakamoto of Dan Reed Network, Sting, Extreme, Crowbar, Lita Ford, Michael Dorn from Star Trek TNG, Chase Masterson from Star Trek DS9, Scout Taylor Compton, Woody Harrelson, etc. Names aren’t a big deal – it’s the good people who use their fame for the better good that inspire me. And Dolly Parton is a personal hero for that reason. Ironically I was severely sexually abused as a child, and the offender (registered and a family member – not be a famous name) is still sending threats. It can be hard to deal with but that’s why it’s important to find positives to focus on everyday. This story about how Dolly Parton and Dollywood handled a similar situation touched my heart – so I wanted to share my story. Dolly Parton and the park kept the focus on safety and doing good for all while working with the authorities to catch a criminal. The whole time the focus was on doing good. That’s what I do. I touch lives. Thank you for all you do. – Rikki Lee Travolta
Thank you Rikki Travolta. I’m sorry you lived through that. Sex abuse is awful. I lived it also.
I am happy you became such a good person. Dolly Parton would be proud of you.
People like Dolly Parton and you rare. True good people.
(I like Steven Adler and Guns and Roses also from your friends. And all the Star Trek people you work with. Not a big Janet Jackson fan after the wardrobe malfunction. That is personal thought. Not a judgement.)
I hope to see you singing at Dollywood one day with your son.
It seems that the Dollywood corporation did the right thing in this situation. They work with contractors, who are under contract to vet their employees when they are hired. Obviously, this didn’t happen in this case and they immediately terminated the contract with ADPC. I have been going to Dollywood for over 6 years, and I have had season passes several times. The shows are always fabulous and everything seems great. This individual worked at the resort, not in the park, I believe. So they most probably didn’t have contact with most paying customers.
Super great point. This is not Dolly Parton’s fault. Sometimes innocent people (even Dolly Parton a true Angel on Earth) get blamed when they did nothing wrong.
So he was arrested and that’s GREAT! But leave Dolly alone. She has came a long way in her life, and has worked very hard for it! Let her do her job!!!! Leave her a lone!!! Water main break? It happens. Get over it. If that’s all you can dig up on her, then you need to leave her alone! She is a good hearted person trying to make people happy, and doing her job. She is too old to be picked on now . No offense Dolly. Love you 💜
