Dolly Parton addresses rumours of her insuring her breasts

Dolly Parton , American music legend, has refuted a rumor about her “famous body parts.” On Wednesday’s Today With Hoda & Jenna, the 76-year-old country icon addressed rumors that she was insuring her breasts.

Daytime co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager asked if Parton’s breasts were insured after hearing model Heidi Klum say her legs are insured.

“Was it [actress] Betty Grable or one of the other great famous stars famous for her legs years ago? At the time, I thought to myself, ‘Well, maybe I should get my boobs insured because I’m famous for them.’

“It was all a joke. That was not something I did.

“You can, however, obtain new boobs, but you can’t get new legs!”

 In September 2020, Parton opened up to PEOPLE about some of the most bizarre rumors she’s heard about herself.

She said at the time; 

“I always laugh at them.

 “One, it shows up about every three years in the tabloids, where I’m bedridden because my boobs are so heavy that I’m crippled for life on my back. I just laugh. Well, they are heavy, but they haven’t crippled me yet.

“And then they find a picture of me, from when I was actually doing a video, you know, laying on all the bed somewhere. And the story is that my spine is injured or whatever. I just think, ‘Oh my Lord. If they were that heavy, I’d have them changed. I’d have them lessened.’ “
