John Amos says he is 'feeling well' and is working on various projects

Speaking about his present condition, Amos said, "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 continued.

"Now, I will say this for now: This story about neglect is false and unmerited. The real truth will come out soon and you will hear it from me. Believe it," he assured. 

In June 2023, Amos' daughter, Shannon, claimed that her father was a "victim of elder abuse."

After filing a complaint with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Shannon set up a GoFundMe campaign requesting help to meet  "care expenses" for the elderly Amos.

However, the fundraiser was removed after the actor denied the claims and later Amos alleged Shannon was the one behind his "elderly abuse" and claimed that she had "taken advantage" of him.

The Los Angeles Police Department is now investigating new claims made by Amos' daughter.

After allegedly threatening to kill Shannon, KC was taken into custody in July 2023.

Shannon claimed the threat made her "fear for her life," as she believed “the immediacy of the threat and the likelihood that it would be carried out” after KC allegedly sent her images of firearms and gang affiliations, as per a complaint obtained by People.

Amos previously told the outlet "the love is still there” for Shannon, despite their "acrimonious" relationship history.

He said, "Ultimately, I believe the family love will triumph and God will watch over us and protect us as a family and bring us back together in our harmonious relationship at some point."

"We are still family and we love each other, and that's the bottom line. And all families go through trials and tribulations of some sort," he added.
