Hi Radar Substackers…

Dolly Parton may have spent decades singing about heartbreak, but one devastating love affair reportedly nearly destroyed her own marriage.

Now, the late country music legend’s rumored $13 million memoir could finally reveal what really happened behind closed doors.

According to RadarOnline.com insiders, Parton secretly worked on the autobiography before her death at 80, and publishers are reportedly fighting to get their hands on it.

The biggest bombshell? Her mysterious “affair of the heart” with another man while married to Carl Dean, her famously private husband of nearly 60 years.

And it apparently left her shattered.
