B.B. King is being isolated from his family and celebrity friends, including Willie Nelson, Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton by his manager, King’s daughter claims.
TMZ reported that Karen Williams is claiming in new legal documents her father is being neglected by manager, Laverne Toney. She says the blues legend fell while a caregiver that Toney hired was asleep from drinking too much alcohol.
Williams says Toney won’t take her father to a dentist to treat his abscesses, because she says King is broke. Williams said King had five million dollars in his account in 2014. Williams says the money is being quickly drained. She says in April 2014, more than $453,000 was withdrawn from King’s account.
King was briefly hospitalized Thursday for the second time in a month. The Hall of Fame member and Itta Bena, Miss. native was diagnosed with diabetes decades ago.
Williams says Toney says King is dying yet she won’t allow anyone to see him. Williams is asking a judge to make her the guardian of her father’s estate.
