J.C. Lee Denies Elder Abuse Claims Against Her

J.C. Lee, the daughter of the iconic Marvel creator Stan Lee, has recently addressed long-standing allegations of elder abuse against her parents in a candid interview with Business Insider. These allegations, which surfaced in 2017 following the passing of her mother, Joan, were detailed extensively in a 2018 The Hollywood Reporter (THR) article. The THR report accused J.C. Lee of pressuring her parents for money and control over their assets, painting a picture of a tumultuous relationship marked by verbal confrontations and an alleged physical altercation. The report included photographic evidence of a bruise on Joan Lee's arm, which J.C. Lee has vehemently denied causing.

In her interview with Business Insider, J.C. Lee firmly refuted these claims, labeling them as "a lie." She explained that she chose not to publicly deny the accusations at the time of the THR piece on the advice of those close to her, a decision she now regrets. "You think I haven't regretted it to this day?" she questioned, emphasizing the falsehood of the claims. "They are all lies. That photo is insane. I never did it," J.C. Lee asserted.

While acknowledging frequent heated arguments with her parents over financial matters, J.C. Lee stressed that these disputes never escalated to physical violence. "I never ever touched my parents," she stated clearly, distancing herself from the accusations of physical abuse.

Stan Lee passed away in 2018 at the age of 95 due to a heart attack. The full Business Insider interview with J.C. Lee delves into her personal challenges growing up in the shadow of her father's fame, her struggles with financial manipulation, feelings of isolation, her creative endeavors, and the ongoing impact of her father's legacy on her life.
