J.C. Lee, daughter of the iconic Marvel creator Stan Lee, has recently broken her silence in an interview with Business Insider, vehemently denying past 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 detailed in a 2018 article by The Hollywood Reporter (THR). The THR piece painted a troubling picture, suggesting that J.C. Lee had pressured her parents for money and control of assets, leading to intense conflicts, including verbal arguments and an alleged physical altercation. The report included photos of a bruise on Joan Lee’s arm, which J.C. Lee strongly refutes.

In her Business Insider interview, J.C. Lee firmly stated that the allegations against her were "a lie." She explained her initial silence on the matter, saying it was on the advice of those around her, a decision she now regrets. "You think I haven't regretted it to this day?" she questioned, adding, "They are all lies. That photo is insane. I never did it." While acknowledging that she did have 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 full Business Insider interview delves into J.C. Lee's experiences growing up as the daughter of a celebrated figure, her financial struggles, the influence of others, her battles with loneliness, her own creative endeavors, and the challenges of carrying on her father's legacy.
