John Amos’ former caretaker Belinda Foster, close associate Eugene Brummett, and his production banner, Step and One Half Productions, are also named in the pending litigation. The outlet reported Shannon Amos claimed K.C. manipulated John Amos into signing multiple legal documents that gave him control of the estate, all while ignoring the actor’s failing health. Allegedly, K.C. began to keep John away from others in 2019 and impersonated him in text messages and email conversations. “This calculated and cruel isolation was explicitly designed to render John Amos entirely dependent on K.C. Amos for all of his personal, financial, and critical medical decisions,” exclaimed the filing. Brummet and Foster are accused of assisting K.C. in his alleged fraudulent behavior. “What K.C. Amos, Belinda Foster, and Eugene Brummett did in the last years of my father’s life is unfathomable, cruel, and beyond my comprehension,” said Shannon Amos in a statement The Good Times actor died in August 2024, although the news was not revealed to the public until October of that year. Shannon claimed to have learned of his death on social media, 45 days after his passing. A statement from Foster alleged that John Amos wanted to delay his death announcement as his final wish, specifically so that his daughter did not “turn his death and interment into a circus.” “At the time of his death, John was concerned that Shannon might turn his death and interment into a circus as she had done with other aspects of his life… It was John who requested the delay in announcing his death to Shannon and the rest of the world,” claimed Foster.
