As of Sunday morning, the GoFundMe page once intended to assist John following claims that he was the victim of “elder abuse and financial exploitation” isno longer available to view.
The initial campaign had already raised more than $13,000 of its $500,000 goal, with more than 300 donations, as of Thursday.

“She would be the primary suspect — if you would,” John alleged in a video filmed from a hospital bed. “I don’t know if that’s the right term to use or not. But she’s the one that I would attribute my elderly abuse to. It’s definitely a case of elderly abuse."

John has since told PEOPLE exclusively that he was “doing well” following Shannon’s allegations. “To all of my fans, I want to share this video with you to show you that I am not in the distressed condition as described in the GoFundMe page,” he said.
“I am not in ICU, nor was I ever fighting for my life,” John added. “… I want the GoFundMe campaign about me to stop immediately and the funds subsequently returned to those who made donations. My son and I will reveal more information at the appropriate time.”
“I’m not in the hospital as a result of anything that happened recently, other than the fact that about a month ago, I was hospitalized because I was suffering from water retention and a couple of other issues — all of which have been corrected, or at least addressed,” John said.
“I’m very capable and I’m very confident in the doctors that I have here and the medical staff that my son has assembled all around me. So I feel very good about that," he continued. “My main issues are, I feel like, prior to entering the hospital, I had some ongoing issues with my daughter, who I feel has taken advantage of me.”
K.C.’s video, posted to bothTikTokandInstagram, cut off before John could go into further detail, but K.C. captioned the clip noting there were “many different aspects to this situation.”
