Dolly Parton and her husband Carl Dean have been married for decades now, but even though they're older than other celebrities, they're not safe from cheating allegations. More recently, the country superstar took matters into her own hands and set the record straight.
The "Jolene" hitmaker recently spoke in an interview with Saga Exceptional where she discussed some of the out-of-this-world rumors that the media had written or reported about her.
The singer began by saying there were "so many crazy rumors" about her over the past years, but one of the worst things was a report about her breaking her back because how heavy her boobs were.
Another thing that she considered to be worst and crazy was the rumor about her cheating with other people.
"They've had me having an affair with everybody I've ever worked with," the Jolene songstress added. (via New York Post)
