Entertainer Wayne Newton's lawyers are denying allegations of mismanagement, animal abuse and sexual harassment lodged in a lawsuit by a business associate. They are responding with counterclaims alleging breach of contract and fraud. Documents filed Wednesday in Nevada state court say allegations in a lawsuit filed two weeks ago by the company that purchased rights to convert Newton's home into a tourist attraction are "scurrilous and scandalous."
