<p>Legendary &#8220;Good Times&#8221; actor <strong>John Amos </strong>is reportedly hospitalized in the intensive care unit. But he denies his daughter&#8217;s claim that he&#8217;s in critical condition after becoming a victim of elder abuse.</p>
<p>His daughter <strong>Shannon Amos</strong> claimed he&#8217;s falling victim to elder abuse and financial exploitation, according to a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/hh4yc3-care-support-for-john-amos-americas-dad?utm_campaign=p_nacp+share-sheet&;utm_medium=social&;utm_source=instagram" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>GoFundMe</strong></a> she set up on his behalf.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">John Amos Denies Daughter&#8217;s Claims That He&#8217;s A Victim Of Elder Abuse, Confirms Hospitalization</h3>
<p>However, <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/06/08/good-times-john-amos-fighting-life-icu-elder-abuse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amos himself tells</a> <em>TMZ</em> that no one is abusing him, and he isn&#8217;t currently fighting for his life. The TV star reportedly doesn&#8217;t know why his daughter created the GoFundMe.</p>
<p>Amos&#8217; representative<strong> Belinda Foster</strong> tells the outlet that he&#8217;s been hospitalized due to fluid filling up in his lower body and into his abdomen. The health scare was causing problems with his heart, <em>TMZ</em> reports, but he&#8217;s reportedly not in life-threatening danger.</p>
<p>In fact, doctors have since drained all of the fluid, and Foster says Amos is almost back to 100 percent health-wise.</p>

<p>Initial reports from Amos&#8217; daughter indicated the &#8220;Coming to America&#8221; actor was fighting for his life after suffering elder abuse. Shannon also said her father was a victim of financial exploitation.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Daughter Created GoFundMe With $500K Goal Purportedly For Father&#8217;s Legal, Health Expenses</h3>
<p>Last month, Shannon says she got a distressing call from her dad. The 83-year-old allegedly told her he was in a Memphis hospital.</p>
<p>Shannon did not provide many specifics or reveal who she believes is abusing him. However, she did describe the perpetrator as one of Amos&#8217; caregivers, according to the GoFundMe.</p>
<p>She created the fundraiser purportedly to help her father with legal expenses, care, and aftercare as they look to bring those reportedly responsible to justice.</p>

<p>As of Thursday (June 8), the fundraiser has raised $3,445 of a lofty $500,000 goal.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear what effect this new revelation will have on the GoFundMe.</p>
<p>Amos is best known for his roles as the adult Kunta Kinte in the landmark miniseries &#8220;Roots,&#8221; &#8220;Good Times,&#8221; as well as &#8220;Coming to America.&#8221;</p>
