John Amos Speaks On Recently Closed Elder Abuse Investigation, Says He Will Share The ‘Real Truth’ Surrounding His Daughter’s Allegations Soon
Actor John Amos is ready to leave his daughter’s claims in the past.
As previously reported, last year the “Good Times” star’s daughter came forward with allegations that her dad was a victim of elder abuse. John Amos denied the claims. However, according to Shannon Amos, her brother, Kelly “K.C.” Amos, who is the celeb’s caregiver, was subjecting their dad to ill-treatment. Shannon Amos’ allegations eventually caught the attention of Adult Protective Services, which prompted the LAPD to launch an investigation last month. However, news recently broke that due to a lack of evidence, the case was closed.
During a newly published interview with PEOPLE, John Amos addressed the closed case and shared that his “real truth” will be revealed soon. He said,
“I want to first of all thank the LAPD for their professionalism and thoroughness in their investigation in which they concluded that I am doing well. This is the same thing I have been saying all along in my response to the media.”
And continued,
“Furthermore, I am even more determined to complete production on the documentary film that my son and I are producing. It will shed light on the real truth as to the motives of those who have painted a false narrative about me. I am John Amos and quite frankly this mess is bringing out James Evans to stay.”
Around the time the investigation ended, Shannon Amos expressed her disappointment in the matter. In part, she said,
“While I acknowledge the efforts of the LAPD on my father’s case, I am disappointed with their conclusion since no one from my family has seen or spoken to my father since July 2023, when K.C. Amos, Eugene Brummet, and Belinda Foster removed him from a medical facility against doctors’ orders.”
Shannon Amos also said that she’s still receiving “evidence that raises concerns over” her father’s well-being.
While John Amos concluded with,
“I learned something very valuable some years ago that I reference in my work and all that I do. Stand on the truth and stay there. it won’t let you down. The truth will stand up for you. The LAPD’s conclusion of their investigation along with my upcoming documentary each stand on that same truth. I’m good and the best is yet to come. Believe it.”
