Stan Lee Releases Video Denying Abuse Claims and Threatens to Sue
There have been a lot of reports lately regarding Stan Lee that have concerned fans. The reports of elder abuse have been escalating for some time and the claims have been sad to hear. But according to Stan Lee, none of it is true and he just wants the press to leave him and his friends alone. He posted the following video that was shared on TMZ asking everyone to stop. As you'll see he seems angry with all of the reports and at the end of the video he threatens to sue if retractions aren't made. To watch the video, click here. Here's what he says:
"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 ass 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 ass off."
Those are some harsh words. As longtime fans of Stan Lee, we hear these horrible things that might be happening to him and so, of course, we are concerned for his well-being. But, this video makes it very clear that what is being reported is not true and he's just fine.
I feel bad for posting those past articles since now we've learned that what was being reported is not true. It seems like we just added to the stress of Lee, and that wasn't our intention. I'm just happy to hear that he's ok.
