In a recent interview with Business Insider, J.C. Lee, the daughter of the iconic Marvel creator Stan Lee, has publicly addressed and denied allegations of elder abuse against her parents, Stan and Joan Lee. These serious accusations first surfaced in 2017 following Joan Lee's death and were further detailed in a 2018 piece by The Hollywood Reporter (THR). The THR article portrayed J.C. Lee as someone who pressured her parents for money and control over their assets, alleging verbal and physical altercations, including a reported incident that resulted in a bruise on Joan Lee's arm.

J.C. Lee strongly refutes these claims, calling them "a lie" in her Business Insider interview. She explained her decision to remain silent at the time of the THR report, saying she was advised by those around her to not respond publicly. Reflecting on her silence, J.C. Lee expressed regret, stating, "You think I haven't regretted it to this day? They are all lies. That photo is insane. I never did it."

While acknowledging heated arguments with her parents over financial matters, J.C. Lee firmly denies any physical violence, asserting, "I never ever touched my parents." Her father, Stan Lee, passed away in 2018 at the age of 95 from a heart attack.

The comprehensive Business Insider interview delves into J.C. Lee's life, exploring her challenges growing up as the daughter of a celebrated figure, her financial difficulties, experiences of being manipulated, feelings of loneliness, her creative endeavors, and the ongoing impact of her father's legacy.
