J.C. Lee, daughter of the iconic Marvel creator Stan Lee, has recently broken her silence in an exclusive interview with Business Insider, firmly denying allegations of elder abuse against both her father and her late mother, Joan. These serious accusations first surfaced in 2017, following Joan's passing, and were extensively detailed in a 2018 Hollywood Reporter (THR) article. The THR piece painted a troubling picture, alleging that J.C. Lee pressured her parents for financial gain and control over assets, culminating in heated verbal confrontations and at least one reported physical incident. The article also included photographic evidence of a bruise on Joan Lee's arm, which J.C. Lee vehemently denies causing.

In her first public response, J.C. Lee categorically refutes these claims, stating that they are "a lie." She explained that she had been advised against making a public statement at the time of the THR article's publication, a decision she now regrets. "You think I haven't regretted it to this day?" she expressed. "They are all lies. That photo is insane. I never did it." While acknowledging that she did engage in heated arguments with her parents over financial matters, J.C. Lee insists that these disputes never escalated to physical violence. "I never ever touched my parents," she asserted.

Stan Lee passed away in 2018 at the age of 95 due to a heart attack. The comprehensive Business Insider interview delves into J.C. Lee's personal journey, exploring the challenges of growing up under the shadow of her father's fame, her financial struggles, experiences of being manipulated, feelings of loneliness, her creative endeavors, and the ongoing impact of her father's legacy.
