Shannon Amos, who is the daughter of John Amos, is coming out in response to her brother Kelly “K.C.” Amos’s arrest. Kelly “K.C.” Amos is accused of making Shannon Amos loss threats. Shannon Amos is speaking out.
She sent a statement to PEOPLE in which she claimed that she and her family will “continue to advocate and fight for the proper care of my father.” “I am pleased that Kelly is being held accountable for his actions that have put my father’s health in jeopardy, and I look forward to resolving this matter in private with the appropriate authorities,” the son of the victim said.
Shannon stated, “I remain committed to ensuring that he receives the highest quality medical care, despite the fact that false accusations and defamatory statements have been made against me.” Although John Amos is regarded as ‘America’s Dad,’ I consider him to be my own father.
It was highlighted by a representative for Shannon, a film producer, that the hostility between the two was “not a sibling rivalry.”
“The family and Shannon are all working together to get John the care that he needs,” the representative said further. In point of fact, he is said to have confessed to Shannon’s daughter that he is unable to recollect any of the remarks that he had previously made in relation to this matter.
According to the complaint that was acquired by PEOPLE, K.C., who is 52 years old, was taken into custody on Saturday in West Orange, New Jersey, after reportedly making threats to “kill Shannon with the purpose to put her in imminent fear of loss.”
In the petition, it was said that Shannon felt “the immediacy of the threat and the likelihood that it would be carried out” after K.C. reportedly sent her text messages with photographs of weapons and gang connections, which caused her to “fear for her life.”
She said that her brother’s “terroristic threats” included a video of him firing a pistol and purported text messages with a picture of a weapon that stated, “gonna sleep much better tonight big sis.” She also claimed that her brother sent her the video.
According to the lawsuit, another communication reportedly included a picture of a rifle accompanied with the description “that big one can clean a turkey out from 3 football fields away.” The photo was sent along with the message.
After the 83-year-old actor from “Good Times” claimed he was the victim of alleged “elderly abuse” at the hands of his daughter, K.C. and Shannon made headlines together.
In a video that was published on social media by KC one month ago, John aired his accusations against Shannon. In the video, he said that his daughter had “taken advantage” of him and used him for his own benefit.
John, who was lying in a hospital bed at the time, claimed, “If you were to ask me, she would be the primary suspect.” “I am unsure as to whether or not it is the appropriate phrase to use. On the other hand, she is the one who I would blame for my maltreatment of the elderly. Abuse of senior citizens is certainly being committed here.”
Back in June, Shannon voiced her worries about her father’s health and posted them on Instagram. She claimed that she had gotten “a distressing call” from her father in which he supposedly told her that he was “in immense pain” and “hanging by a thread” in the intensive care unit. Shannon said that “his home had been violated, stripped of anything valuable” and established a GoFundMe campaign to seek money for the actor’s “legal, medical, future housing, and care expenses.” (It was subsequently removed from the site.)
She subsequently claimed that the actor from Roots was “the victim of elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation” and that she was working “with the Colorado Bureau of Investigations and local authorities, determined to bring the perpetrators to justice.”
After some time, John responded to her allegations by saying that he had been sent to the hospital due to “water retention and a couple of other issues — all of which have been corrected, or at least addressed.”
In addition to this, he stated that he was “very capable” and “very confident” in the medical team that he had assembled; yet, his primary worry was his daughter, whom he said had “taken advantage of me.”
“I am not in ICU, nor was I ever fighting for my life,” he reassured PEOPLE in a statement that was issued at the time.
He said, “To all of my fans, I want you to know that I am doing well.” “I want you to know that I am doing well.” “First, I want the GoFundMe campaign about me to end immediately, and then I want the monies to be refunded to the people who donated them,” the first part of the statement said. ” We will provide more details at the proper time, both my kid and I promise.
