Wayne Newton listens as his attorney presents a counterclaim during a court hearing, Thursday, May 31, 2012, in Las Vegas. The entertainer's lawyers are denying allegations of mismanagement, animal abuse and sexual harassment lodged in a lawsuit by a business associate, and responding with counterclaims alleging breach of contract and fraud. Documents filed Wednesday in Nevada state court label as “scurrilous and scandalous” allegations in a lawsuit filed two weeks ago by the company that purchased rights to convert Newton's home into a tourist attraction.
