Larry King’s widow Shawn has dragged her sister Shannon into her $100 million lawsuit accusing her ex-business managers of conspiring with the late TV legend’s son and transferring millions to third parties without her consent, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Larry King’s widow Shawn has accused the firm Blouin & Company of helping Larry King Jr. as part of the fight over the late broadcaster’s estate.

Radar Online’s recent article entitled, “Larry King’s Widow Shawn SUES HER OWN SISTER Claiming He Spent Millions On Her While They Had Secret Affair,” says that Larry Sr. died in January 2021.

Larry King Jr. asked the court to be named special administrator of his father’s estate. He presented a handwritten will that Larry Sr. had reportedly signed before his death. The amended will left his fortune to his child and not Shawn. Shawn objected to the will claiming Larry Sr. was not in the right mind to sign the amendment to the will. A settlement was eventually reached between the two.

But a few months later, Shawn sued Blouin & Company, claiming it had led a “fraudulent and malicious conspiracy to steal money from their client, Mrs. King, and deprive Mrs. King of her rights and interests in the estate of her late husband.”

Shawn brought claims against Blouin & Company and her sister Shannon Engemann Grossman, a named defendant. She claims that Shannon “received a substantial number of improper and unauthorized transfers of” her community assets. Moreover, she alleges that her sister received “unauthorized goods and services worth millions of dollars (or more subject to further investigation), including airfare, clothing and accessories, furniture, limousine services, healthcare services, dental implants, luxury automobiles, luxury hotel accommodations and numerous other goods and services.”

During their marriage, Shawn and Larry were close to divorce multiple times after marrying in 1997. In 2010, they both filed their petitions in Los Angeles Superior Court. Shawn believed Larry and her sister were having an affair.

At the time, Shannon denied having an affair with Larry. She admitted Larry was generous with gifts but said he was like that with everyone. Shannon said, “I’m tired of taking the rap for things. I did not have an affair with Larry. He’s been like a father to me.”

Blouin & Company denied all allegations of wrongdoing in their response and noted that Larry had a secret bank account that they were unaware of that he used to fund his lavish lifestyle. The firm filed a countersuit against Shawn for unpaid invoices.
