Tony Bennett’s daughters entered a legal battle against their brother, as they accused him of mishandling the late singer’s assets in a lawsuit filed Wednesday.
Tony Bennett’s daughters have accused their brother of mishandling the late singer’s assets in a lawsuit filed Wednesday.
Antonia and Johanna Bennett claim D’Andrea “Danny” Bennett “obtained personal benefits for himself and his company” from different transactions, including the sale of memorabilia.
The daughters also allege Danny did not properly account for all the proceeds from the sale of Tony’s catalog to Iconoclast earlier this year.
“It remains unclear what music assets (and other property) were or were not sold as part of the deal” because Antonia and Johanna “have not been provided with various details of the transaction despite repeated requests”, the filing stated.
The information Danny had provided to his sisters only raised “more questions”, they claimed.
“Although Danny and his counsel have provided piecemeal information and produced some documents to petitioners’ counsel, the information provided raises more questions than answers and fails to provide anything close to an accounting of Tony’s assets and financial affairs”, court docs said.
