A\u00a0man who defaced a popular mural of Dolly Parton<\/a> will not face charges.<\/p>\n On Monday (Aug. 3), a man\u00a0wearing a Doobie Brothers<\/a> t-shirt walked up to the mural and threw black paint at it. It splattered down Parton’s nose, dripping well below her chin.<\/p>\n Related<\/strong><\/em>: 30 Pictures of Young Dolly Parton<\/a><\/p>\n The act of vandalism happened in broad daylight and the person responsible had several identifying physical traits (long black hair, an arm tattoo) so it didn’t take long for the owner of the 5 Spot to figure it all out.<\/p>\n He actually defaced two murals, but that’s not the most surprising part.<\/p>\n By late Monday, the 5 Spot had shared that not only did they know who did it, they know why.<\/p>\n The vandal (name was not released) explained himself to the businesses involved, saying it was not done out of hate or anger towards any person, building or lifestyle.<\/p>\n “He’s in a bad mental state,” the music venue shares.<\/p>\n Furthermore, no one involved will be pressing charges and plans are in motion to fix it.<\/p>\n Radford says she’s going to repair the mural on Thursday (Aug. 6). While she’s done many murals, including pieces involving Taylor Swift<\/a>, John Prine<\/a>, American Aquarium and more, the Dolly piece put her on the map in 2020.<\/p>\n “Stay tuned for her glow up,” Radford shares, in all caps.<\/p>\n Parton has not commented on the incident.<\/p>\n Dolly Parton has been a fixture in country music and really, all of entertainment, since the 1960s. The only thing that has changed about the icon is her age \u2014 she’s as radiant as she’s ever been!
