Amid all the celebrity tributes pouring in for the late Dolly Parton, one of them is getting backlash for being "disrespectful" and "foul" to the country music icon.
Parton's former co-star Ricky Schroder played Parton's father in two NBC biopic movies based in the singer's childhood (2015's Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors and 2016's Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love), both of which were narrated and executive produced by Parton. In the wake of Parton's death on Tuesday, Schroder took to social media to post, "I didn't agree with her advocating for Transgender & Covid Vaccine support … but Loved her anyway. Thank you for choosing me Dolly to be your Movie Daddy."
