John Amos' Daughter's Fundraiser Ends as He Accuses Her of Taking 'Advantage'

John Amos' family drama has continued into Father's Day weekend.

Days after the 83-year-old actor accused his daughter Shannon Amos of misconduct, her fundraising effort for his care-in which she stated John "had fallen victim to elder abuse and financial exploitation"-was deactivated on GoFundMe.

Specifically, the page that had a goal of $500K for John's alleged "extensive medical care and rehabilitation," now reads, "Campaign Not Found."

This update comes shortly after John appeared in a video uploaded to his son K.C. Amos' Instagram account, in which the actor stated, "I'm an 83-year-old man. And I have two children. My son is here with me in the hospital in Memphis, he's at my bedside. And I'm not in the hospital as a result of anything that happened recently. Other than the fact that, about a month ago, I was hospitalized because I was suffering from water retention and a couple of other issues, all of which had been corrected, or at least addressed."

He continued, "I'm very confident in the doctors that I have here, in the medical staff that my son has assembled around me." 

Instead, John noted that his "main issues" are with his daughter, adding, "who I feel has taken advantage of me and she would be the primary suspect if you would." 

The Roots actor further stated, "She's the one that I would attribute my elderly abuse to."

Parade has reached out to Shannon's rep for comment and has not heard back.

This directly contradicts Shannon's stance on the matter, as she previously accused another unnamed caretaker of mistreating the West Wing alum. 

Prior to this update, Shannon's rep shared with Parade, "Shannon Amos and the family are unwavering in their commitment to ensuring John's safety, stability, and healing. Shannon will not provide further comment as the investigation remains open with the Colorado Bureau of Investigations (CBI) and Custer County Sheriff's Department. This continues to be a private family matter that Shannon hopes will be resolved soon."
