Over the past few days, we've been hearing a lot of very upsetting reports about what's currently going on in Stan Lee's life from a number of seemingly reputable sources. The gist of them is that the Marvel Comics creator is the subject of elder abuse as the people around him attempt to gain control of his assets (many of whom are said to be associated with his rather strange sounding daughter J.C.).
Now, Lee has issued a video response in which he fires back at these reports and flat out denies them. In fact, he tears into the various outlets sharing these reports and threatens to sue their asses!
Unfortunately, we have no idea whether or not Lee is making videos like this under duress and there's no smoke without fire so it's clear something fishy is going on. Regardless, the creator/co-creator of characters like Spider-Man, The Avengers, and the Fantastic Four says otherwise so who knows what the full story is. Either way, you can check out Lee's comments on the matter in full down below:
"Hi, this is Stan Lee, and I'm calling on behalf of myself and my friend Keya Morgan. Now you people have been publishing the most hateful harmful material about me and about my friend Keya and some others. Material which is totally incorrect, totally based on slander, totally the type of thing that I'm going to sue your a** off when I get a chance. You have been accusing me and my friends of doing things that are so unrealistic or unbelievable that I don't know what to say. It's as though you suddenly have a personal vendetta against me and against the people I work with.
"Well, I want you to know I'm going to spend every penny I have to put a stop to this and to make you sorry that you've suddenly gone on a one-man campaign against somebody with no proof, no evidence, no anything, but you've decided that people are mistreating me and therefore you're going to publish those articles. I'm going to get the best and most expensive lawyers I can and I want you to know that if you don't stop these articles and publish retractions, I am gonna sue your a** off."
