Marvel Comic Book Legend, Stan Lee, Accused Of Sexual Misconduct
In the wake of the Time's Up campaign, more celebrities are accused of sexual abuse. Marvel comic book fans will be disappointed to know that Stan Lee, has reportedly been accused of sexual misconduct.
According to the Daily Mail, Lee is currently in a legal dispute with a nursing company that claims he asked for oral sex in the shower and to be "pleasured" in his bedroom.
The nursing company has stated that Marvel legend has harassed every single nurse that has come to his Hollywood home.
"He's also very handsy and has groped some of the women, it's unacceptable behavior, especially from an icon like Stan," a source said.
Nurses have also claimed that the 95-year-old has walked around naked in front of them and yelled out inappropriate words while they were in his presence.
Fans of Lee found it interesting that these allegations would happen a month before one of Marvel's highly anticipated films is set to release.
As previously reported, Marvel's, Black Panther hits theaters on Feb. 16 and is the second most anticipated film in 2018 behind Avengers: Infinity War.
Is Stan Lee A Villain?
Lee is most known for co-creating Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Iron Man and Marvel's latest film, Black Panther. He was formerly the editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, but later became the chairman as well as the member of the editorial board.
In 1994, the comicbook editor was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1995.
Although, the nursing company has accused Lee of sexual misconduct, Lee's lawyer, Tom Lallas, has released a statement denying the allegations.
"Mr. Lee categorically denies these false and despicable allegations and he fully intends to fight to protect his stellar good name and impeccable character," Lallas stated.
Lallas also stated that a police report has not been filed, but Lee has received threats and demands to pay money.
"Mr. Lee will not be extorted or blackmailed, and will pay no money to anyone because he has done absolutely nothing wrong," Lallas continued.
While Lee has yet to confirm or deny these allegations, a rep for the new nursing company has stated that the 95-year-old has been polite and respectful to their staff.
