John Amos’ Elder Abuse Investigation Closed By Authorities Due To Lack Of Evidence
John Amos’ Elder Abuse Investigation Closed By Authorities Due To Lack Of Evidence
Authorities have officially closed their investigation of alleged neglect surrounding John Amos’ caregiver.
According to a recent TMZ report, authorities have concluded their investigation into John Amos’ well-being after finding zero evidence that suggested he was receiving improper care.
In March the LAPD launched an investigation to ensure the Good Times star was being properly taken care of. The deeper look into the matter began after John Amos’ daughter, Shannon Amos, reported to Adult Protective Services that he was being abused by her brother, Kelly “K.C.” Amos, who is the celeb’s caregiver.
Apparently, the siblings’ previous public back-and-forth on the allegations factored into law enforcement’s decision to close out the case. If you didn’t know, last summer Shannon Amos started a GoFundMe to raise funds for her father’s expenses after she claimed he was a victim of abuse and financial exploitation. The fundraiser was ultimately removed after the Coming To America actor denied being abused.
The TV/film star’s rep then claimed that no one was abusing him. John has also stated that he is doing well and denied the allegations against his son.
In a previous statement, John said,
“I want to first say that I am feeling well and working diligently on various projects that I am involved in at this time, including the docuseries that my son and I are producing, along with a music release. I’d like to add that everywhere we go together, people refer to my son K.C. as my twin. I’m proud of him for who he is as a person: a caring, thoughtful human being who respects me and I him.”
He added,
“Now, I will say this for now: This story about neglect is false and unmerited. The real truth will come out soon and you will hear it from me. Believe it.”
