John Amos is putting family first.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the Good Times alum, 83, and his filmmaker son K.C. Amos reflected on the relationship they have with Shannon Amos, months after the actor accused her of "elderly abuse."

"It is his sibling, that is my daughter, my first child. I love her. K.C. loves his sister. We just have, I guess, what might be best described in the tabloids is an acrimonious relationship, but everything heals in time, and the love is still there," John, who played the Good Times patriarch James Evans, tells PEOPLE.

The Roots actor explains that he believes that "all families go through trials and tribulations of some sort" and tells PEOPLE that he hopes their family will have a "harmonious relationship at some point."

"Right now, it is somewhat acrimonious, but never mind what you might read or hear about in the paper or on this medium or that medium platform. Suffice it to say we are still family, and we love each other, and that's the bottom line," he says.

Concern over John's health arose in June after his daughter wrote an Instagram post stating that she received a "distressing call" from her father and claimed that he was a "victim of elder abuse and financial exploitation."

Shannon then filed a complaint with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and created a GoFundMe campaign asking for "legal, medical, future housing, and care expenses" for him. John denied the claims and told PEOPLE in an exclusive statement that he was "doing well."
