Not So Good Times: John Amos and Daughter Shannon Go Back and Forth On Claims Of Elder Abuse

“Good Times” actor John Amos is denying claims his daughter made saying he suffers from “elder abuse and financial exploitation.”

In a statement made on his behalf by his representative Belinda Foster, Amos, 83, is doing just fine, Parade reports.

Little did I know that our lives would soon take a devastating turn,” Amos said. “On May 14th of this year, I received a distressing call from my dad, who was hospitalized far away in Memphis, Tennessee.”
