Late John Amos' Relatives Slam His Son For 'Isolating' Him

The late John Amos' family is pointing fingers at his son, Kelly Christopher "KC" Amos, accusing him of isolating the actor before his passing. 

This escalating family conflict comes after John's passing, with relatives expressing concern over how his final days were handled. Though the actor's cause of death has been confirmed, tensions remain high due to the quick cremation just nine days later. 

John Amos' family is speaking out, demanding answers and questioning whether all is as it seems.

Despite the actor's death being in August, the family says they only learned about it through media reports weeks later, revealing deep family tensions.

In a statement released by the family, they accused the late legend's son, KC, of creating a misleading public image of a close relationship with his father. "KC portrayed an image of a close father-son relationship on social media, but the reality was far more complex," they said. 

The late actor's relatives, including his daughter Shannon Amos and other close family members, claim that for over a year, John was isolated from them, with KC allegedly controlling and monitoring his interactions. According to TMZ, the family claimed:

"Despite our repeated attempts to maintain contact, KC prevented access to him, controlled and monitored his calls and severed ties with John's daughter Shannon Amos, his brother Leslie "Syl" Franklin, his grandchildren Quiera Colston and Jhazz Williams, his business manager Paul Baldessare, his god-daughter Amy Goudy, his niece Sherri Korsun, his former accountant and other close family members, friends, and loved ones."

The concerned family came forward with more troubling allegations, claiming that John was manipulated by his son and his associates Eugene Brummet and Belinda Foster. 

They alleged that John, who suffered from dementia, was coerced with cues from KC into creating a false narrative on social media. 

In the statement, the family expressed deep concern over the actor's care during his final days, citing disturbing photos provided by concerned neighbors and medical professionals. The family amplified suspicions surrounding the circumstances of his death by revealing:

"KC often gave John verbal prompts to create a narrative on social media that was not reflective of the truth. We were deeply concerned that our father may have been neglected and isolated during his final days as we received photos from concerned neighbors and a medical professional,"

John's daughter, Shannon, who was reportedly blindsided by her father's death, expressed her devastation and confusion in an emotional Instagram post that read: 

"This should be a time of honoring and celebrating his life, yet we are struggling to navigate the wave of emotions and uncertainties surrounding his passing."

Although heartbroken, she found comfort in knowing her father was "finally free." The Blast reported that the 58-year-old and other relatives, including John's goddaughter Amy Goudy, issued a joint statement revealing their fears of foul play. 

The family suspects that John' was likely cremated to avoid any potential investigation into the conditions surrounding his final days." They also noted that they still have no death certificate and remain unsure of where or why the late TV personality passed.

The family's statement concluded with sharp criticism of KC, adding, "We refuse to rule out the possibility of foul play, especially given the involvement of two individuals."

Prior to the late star's family's uproar, weeks of speculation concerning his death came to an end, with the actor's cause of death confirmed as congestive heart failure. The death certificate filed in L.A. County showed that John passed away at an Inglewood hospital.

No autopsy was performed on the 84-year-old actor, and just nine days after his passing, he was cremated. Adding to the tension, the death certificate indicates that his son, KC, not only informed the county of his father's death but also held his remains.

Even though the late actor died in August, his son did not announce it till October 1st.  KC publicly announced his father's passing in a heartfelt statement shared with the media. 

In the statement, he paid tribute to John, who he described as having "the kindest heart and a heart of gold." KC expressed the deep impact his father had on television audiences, calling him a "TV father" for many fans who admired his work.

"He lived a good life. His legacy will live on in his outstanding works in television and film as an actor," the 53-year-old shared. In a touching conclusion, KC called his father not only his hero but his "best friend" and "dad," reflecting the deep bond they shared.

With lingering suspicions about the circumstances of John Amos' death, the rift within the late star's family seems far from healing.
