John Amos’ Daughter’s GoFundMe Started To Help Actor Recover From Alleged Elder Abuse Was Removed After Raising Over $13K
John Amos’ Daughter’s GoFundMe Started To Help Actor Recover From Alleged Elder Abuse Was Removed After Raising Over $13K
The accusations between John Amos and his daughter Shannon Amos continue to live another day.
As previously reported, Shannon Amos recently came forward with claims that her dad was a victim of elder abuse. According to Shannon, John Amos had been hospitalized, allegedly following a near-death experience, and needed money after suffering from abuse and financial exploitation. She launched a GoFundMe to raise funds for her father’s expenses and shared during an IG live that part of the proceeds would go towards getting housing and legal representation for John Amos.
However, the “Good Times” actor soon released a statement against his daughter’s accusations and essentially expressed he was doing just fine and wasn’t sure why the GoFundMe was started on his behalf.
Shannon then took to her social accounts again and said her dad may be embarrassed that she made his alleged situation public but her actions were done with his best interest in mind. Despite Shannon standing firm on her claims, the GoFundMe – which reportedly raised over $13K of its $500K goal – was recently removed.
As if the initial conflicting stories weren’t confusing enough, last week the 83-year-old entertainer accused Shannon herself of being behind the elder abuse in a video shared online by his son, K.C. Amos.
From a hospital bed, he said,
“She would be the primary suspect — if you would. I don’t know if that’s the right term to use or not. But she’s the one that I would attribute my elderly abuse to. It’s definitely a case of elderly abuse.”
However, some fans of John expressed in the comment section of the clip that they believe K.C. is the one taking advantage of the TV star. One person questioned how Shannon could be the abuser when she lives outside of America and only recently returned to help her dad amid his reported troubles. They wrote,
“How was your sister abusing your father and taking his money and assets when she has been outside the country? Why did your father call your sister complaining of being in pain and needing medical attention? Why did your sister send someone to your fathers aid until she could get a flight back into the country to tend to her father who was ill? Why haven’t you showed us proof that she has been sending you death threats? However, you didn’t hesitate to have your father implicate your sister as the person responsible for all his troubles which I might add appears to be fishy…..We didn’t hear the entire phone call.”
Another person said,
“How is she doing elder abuse and not in the country?”
