John Amos, the 83-year-old Good Times alumni, and his filmmaker son, K.C. Amos, recently opened up about their relationship with Shannon Amos, John's daughter, whom the eldest Amos accused of “elderly abuse” earlier this year.
John Amos spoke to People about his daughter and shared, “It is his sibling, that is my daughter, my first child. I love her. K.C. loves his sister. We just have, I guess, what might be best described in the tabloids is an acrimonious relationship, but everything heals in time, and the love is still there. Suffice it to say we are still family, and we love each other, and that’s the bottom line.”
The controversy began in June when Shannon Amos accused her father of elder abuse and financial exploitation. John Amos denied the claims and made an exclusive statement to People, urging the halt of the GoFundMe campaign initiated by his daughter.
In a video shared by K.C. Amos on Instagram, John Amos said Shannon Amos had “taken advantage” of him. Shannon Amos’ representative responded to the allegations, calling them “false and defamatory statements.”
Despite the ongoing family drama, John Amos is set to share his life story in an upcoming documentary series, America’s Dad. John hopes viewers will find it informative and truthful. K.C. Amos said the title reflects the legacy of his father’s role as patriarch James Evans on Good Times.
John Amos also paid tribute to Norman Lear, the influential creator of Good Times and other iconic sitcoms, who died at 101 on Dec. 5. He acknowledged Lear as a master and innovator in television, emphasizing his significant role in shaping the landscape of television production.
