Father’s Day 2023 wasn’t exactly a happy time for former football player turned Hollywood icon, John Amos.
Instead of celebrating with his friends and family, John found himself taking to social media to claim that he was suffering from elder abuse at the hands of his very own daughter!
The even crazier part about this whole situation is that it was his daughter Shannon who claimed John was being abused in the first place!
But before I dig into the background of all this family drama unfolding as we speak, first a little bit of background on John and where he’s lived.
John Amos was born way back when in 1939 in Newark, New Jersey.
Raised in East Orange, he graduated from high school in his home-state before moving to Long Beach in California and eventually graduating from Colorado State University with a degree in sociology.
John Amos bought himself a ranch-style estate in the semi-rural area of Tewksbury Township in the state of New Jersey in 1990 for the incredibly low-price of just $337,000.
Originally constructed out of brick and cedar in 1968, this home hasn’t seen all that many updates over the years and still boasts four-bedrooms as well as three-and-a-half-bathrooms on a 4.19-acre parcel of land with just over 3,200-square-feet of space.
