Beloved actor John Amos passed away more than 40 days ago, but the news was only recently made public by his son, KC Amos, in an Instagram post on Tuesday. Following the announcement, Amos’ daughter Shannon expressed shock at not being notified earlier. Amos’ goddaughter, Amy Gaudy, on behalf of other family members, accused Amos’ publicist, Belinda Foster, and KC of isolating them from Amos in his final days, suggesting elder abuse and neglect.
Foster responded to these accusations, refuting them and explaining that there was a legal no-contact order preventing KC from reaching out to his sister. She also mentioned that John Amos himself had requested a delay in announcing his death to Shannon and the world, citing concerns about his daughter turning his passing into a “circus.”
Gaudy’s statement implied that there may have been foul play involved in Amos’ death due to the actions of KC, along with Eugene Brummer and Foster, whom they believed took advantage of Amos in his vulnerable state. The family sought justice and clarity in the situation and expressed sadness and outrage over the circumstances surrounding Amos’ passing.
Foster emphasized that Amos was mentally sound, active in his career, and that law enforcement authorities had confirmed his well-being. She hoped to preserve Amos’ reputation amid the family’s claims and sought to respond with firmness yet compassion to Shannon’s allegations. The controversy surrounding Amos’ death sheds light on family dynamics and legal issues that have surfaced posthumously.
