Police Launch Investigation into John Amos’ Daughter’s Newest Neglect Allegations

John Amos

Nine months after first claiming that her father, John Amos, had been victimized by a "trusted caregiver," Shannon Amos has filed new complaints of neglect, leading the Los Angeles Police Department to launch an investigation into the actor's wellbeing.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Shannon made a call to Adult Protective Services recently, claiming that her father was battling unspecified health issues and her brother, K.C., was failing to get him the care he needed, leading the department to refer the case to the LAPD.

Amos responded to the claims in a statement to Parade: "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," he concluded, noting, "The real truth will come out soon and you will hear it from me. Believe it."

The Good Times alum previously shut down Shannon's concerns in June 2023 after his daughter launched a GoFundMe for his medical care, telling Parade, "I wish to make a statement for the record that I am doing well. I appreciate everyone's concerns but again, please understand that this GoFundMe campaign is not one that is accurate or authorized by me. Thank you, John Amos." He later accused her of taking "advantage" of him with the fundraiser. He even went so far as to "attribute [his] elderly abuse to" her.

Shannon alleged that her father had been "fighting for his life in the ICU," though his rep countered the admission as "a little tune up" for fluid in his legs.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, Shannon responded, "All due respect to my father's response, I understand that this is embarrassing and upsetting, and probably not what he would have wanted me to do, but it is in his best interest."

Still, K.C. was removed as his dad's power of attorney not long after, and a public battle between siblings ensued—which eventually led to K.C.'s arrest after he allegedly threatened to kill his sister—which TMZ's source says police are more than familiar with.
