Tony Bennett’s daughters are suing their older brother in state court, alleging he wrecked a piano bequeathed to one of them, wrongfully discarded a slew of their late father’s personal belongings — including his clothing — without notifying the family, and claim he “has abused, and continues to abuse” his responsibilities in overseeing the legendary jazz singer’s estate.
In a lawsuit filed Monday night and reviewed by The Independent, Johanna and Antonia Bennett accuse Danny Bennett of operating “as though he is the sole beneficiary of Tony’s assets and accountable to no one,” calling him out specifically for withholding not just money, but everyday items they say have “deep sentimental value,” as well.
