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.
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.
Antonia and Johanna are seeking 'equitable relief.' Tony's daughters are demanding Danny hand over a full accounting of the late singer's trust along with receipts, disbursements, expenditures and tax returns. Tony died at the age of 96, according to a post shared on the singer's Instagram page on July 21, 2023. 'Tony left us today but he was still singing the other day at his piano and his last song was, ‘Because of You,’ his first #1 hit,' the caption read.
