Eyebrows were also raised when the Jolene singer seemed to say “ancestors” instead of ancestry and “streaming” instead of streaming.
The video was reposted by actor Parton Ryan Reynoldswho together with fellow actor Rob McElhenny created an original docu-series about their purchase of Wrexham Football Club in Wales. The Hulu series is called Welcome to Wrexham.
After watching the video, fickle fans posted that this isn’t the first time people have noticed Parton has trouble speaking through her pearly whites.
One critic snapped, “I guess y’all haven’t heard Dolly Parton talk lately. She lisps a lot with her new dentures. But you still talk about how sexy she is.
Another wondered if the way she talks is new, asking: “Has Dolly gotten dentures or implants because she looks and talks a bit different in those new commercials.”
Meanwhile, our insider said: “Dolly has had every part of her body worked on and surgically altered in some way, and that includes her teeth.”
The tipster added, “Rumor has it that she has had so many veneers and crowns stuffed into her mouth that she has a bit of a lisp. It’s not something she plans, but some of the words come out funny.
And the situation seems to have become more noticeable lately.
The source said: “Her fans are talking and joking about it online, saying she sounds like Sean Connery, who didn’t really have a lisp, just a heavy Scottish accent.”
‘Dolly doesn’t let it bother her. People will say what they like. She prefers a dazzling smile with a slight lisp to plain-looking helicopters.
In the meantime, Parton is busy promoting her new cookbook.
She posted on Instagram: ‘Well what’s up, looking good? It’s our new cookbook! I wrote this book with my sister Rachel, who is perhaps the best cook I know. If you’re like us, you believe that good food and good times are the best thing next to pure love. So come with us into the kitchen. #GoodLookinCookin will be available in bookstores on September 17!”
