John Amos' "Good Times" co-star BernNadette Stanis is speaking out amid the ongoing conflict between Amos' two children, with one being accused of elder abuse.
Stanis is hoping for a peaceful resolution between the Amos family, following Shannon Amos' claims of elder abuse on an Instagram post on June 8, and John Amos' recent video post accusing his daughter of elder abuse.
"It just happened so that when you have a parent that you have to take care of or they're aging, there's a lot of fear amongst the siblings because you don't know — it's the first time and maybe the only parent. It hurts," Stanis told People.
The video clip K.C. shared online shows John Amos speaking on from a hospital bed alongside his son, in which he accused his daughter of elder abuse.
"She would be the primary suspect — if you would," John claimed. "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."
The video came a few weeks after Shannon asked for donations for her father's care after he was allegedly a victim of "elder abuse and financial exploitation." She wrote on Instagram that the family was "collaborating with the Colorado Bureau of Investigations and local authorities, determined to bring the perpetrators to justice."
However, now John is accusing his daughter of elder abuse and financial exploitation, and wants every donation returned to the donors.
John told People, "To all of my fans, I want to share this video with you to show you that I am not in the distressed condition as described in the GoFundMe page. As a matter of fact, I am doing well. Nor was I ever fighting for my life. First, I want the GoFundMe campaign about me to stop immediately and the funds subsequently returned to those who made donations. My son and I will reveal more information at the appropriate time."
Stanis is attributing the different stories among the family to a "tug of war" between siblings.
"I don't understand the Shannon thing or what's going on with it, but she's the oldest and sometimes the oldest feels like they should be in control," Stanis said. "But K.C. is the boy, so it could be a tug of war, a little bit like that."
John says he was in the hospital due to water retention and is in no dire need of financial assistance for his care. He wants to put an end to the GoFundMe campaign and return the donations to the donors.
