Shannon previously composed on Instagram that she got a “upsetting call” from her dad that he was in “tremendous pain” at a Memphis hospital and was told he was “hanging by a thread.”
She included that she was working with the Colorado Bureau of Investigations at the time to “ensure their prosecution and secure my dad’s future,” and likewise claimed that the victimization was “believed to be perpetrated by a relied on caretaker.”
John, 83, however, implicated Shannon herself of the senior abuse in a video shared on social media by his kid, K.C. Amos.
” She would be the primary suspect– if you would,” John alleged in a video filmed from a medical facility bed. “I do not understand if that’s the ideal term to use or not. But she’s the one that I would associate my senior abuse to. It’s definitely a case of elderly abuse.”

John has because told PEOPLE specifically that he was “doing well” following Shannon’s allegations. “To all of my fans, I want to share this video with you to reveal you that I am not in the distressed condition as explained in the GoFundMe page,” he stated.
” I am not in ICU, nor was I ever defending my life,” John added. “… I want the GoFundMe campaign about me to stop right away and the funds subsequently went back to those who made donations. My child and I will expose more information at the suitable time.”.
Considering that John accused his child of senior abuse, a representative for Shannon informed PEOPLE, “Ms. Amos is disheartened at the continuation of incorrect and defamatory statements being made versus her by, or on behalf of, or in connection with news reports based on social networks posts by Mr. Kelly K.C. Amos. … She is exploring all legal treatments available to her. Ms. Amos hopes this matter will be fixed soon through the proper authorities.”.
When it comes to the video he shot from a medical facility bed on Thursday, John was asked by a caller on the phone– presumably from law enforcement or a legal team– what issues he ‘d been experiencing. He reacted by describing why he remained in the healthcare facility.
” I’m not in the medical facility as a result of anything that took place recently, aside from the reality that about a month ago, I was hospitalized due to the fact that I was suffering from water retention and a number of other problems– all of which have actually been corrected, or at least addressed,” John said.
” I’m extremely capable and I’m very confident in the doctors that I have here and the medical personnel that my son has actually assembled all around me. I feel very good about that,” he continued. “My primary concerns are, I feel like, prior to getting in the healthcare facility, I had some ongoing concerns with my child, who I feel has taken advantage of me.”.
K.C.’s video, published to both TikTok and Instagram, cut off before John might go into more detail, but K.C. captioned the clip noting there were “several elements to this circumstance.”.
