Superman married Lois Lane and had a daughter. Unfortunately, Kryptonite ran in her veins.

The stories seem horrific, and the circumstances seem consistent with other reported stories of what can happen to older and wealthy people.

But I'm not directly involved in the situation; I know none of the players at all, save by reputation and reports; there's nothing I can do about it; and in the end, I've got more to worry about in my own life.

I wish Stan the best, and hope that there is a good resolution for him to this, and that the perpetrators get what they have coming to them. But I can't trust any of these stories, as facts seem to be out the window any more in such news.

Excelsior, Stan. I hope this turns out well for you. And I hope that maybe some day, we find out the truth of what's happened here.

Unless you've been a terrible parent to your child, no one deserves this.

It's all very sad.

Stan set's the record straight in regards to the rumors that he is being abused and taken advantage of. Here is a link to the video.

While I certainly hope the above video is legitimate,
one of the articles posted further up mentions all of
Stan's media interactions, interviews and whatnot all
being closely monitored and supervised by this supposed
trouble-causing crew, so who really knows what's really
going on off-camera there.

I read the whole story from the Hollywood Reporter, which is a legit and reputable publication, and it's a very well done and thorough piece. I feel so bad for Stan. That YouTube video seems like a hostage situation to me. Stan needs a hand from someone (Disney?), a good lawyer to set up a conservatorship for him, and issue restraining orders against  these shady characters, particularly that guy that made the video, who has systematically taken over Stan's life, and maybe his daughter. What a shame.

One of the main reporters on this beat is Mark Ebner, who has covered such topics as Bill Cosby, the Church of Scientology, and a lot of other Hollywood muckraking.

I consider him to be highly credible.

Dave, that is exactly how I read that video. Very
sketchy/shady. And sad/infuriating.

Keya Morgan, one of the people being alleged to abusing or taking advantage of Stan, is the guy that recorded the video of Stan saying everything is fine. It could be true, or this could be a situation like that of Eugene Landy and Brian Wilson. I hope it's true, but Stan, even for his age, looks pretty out of it from how he appeared just a year or two ago in pictures and videos.

In any event, I hope for the best.

The NYTimes met directly with Stan Lee.

>>
Is Stan Lee Being Held Prisoner by Real-Life Villains?
The Hollywood Reporter published an investigation saying that Mr. Lee, 95, was the victim of elder abuse. We visited the Marvel Comics creator at his home. “Nobody has more freedom,” he said.

Stand by for the internet to explode over Stan being called the "creator" of Spider-Man et al.

Despite the headline, the very first sentence of the article does call Stan the "co-creator." So maybe the morons will not wet themselves in unmerited umbrage?
