Brent Bryson said, "Ms. Toney and Mr. Johnson are very happy that these false and fictional allegations that were made against them by certain of Mr. King's children have been dispelled," Bryson also stated: "Hopefully we can now focus on the body of musical work that B.B. King left the world, and he can finally rest in peace."
