Lee, the daughter of the iconic Marvel creator Stan Lee, has broken her silence in a recent interview with Business Insider, firmly denying past allegations of elder abuse against both her father and her mother, Joan. The accusations, which first surfaced in 2017 following Joan's passing, were most notably detailed in a 2018 The Hollywood Reporter (THR) article. This report claimed that J.C. Lee pressured her parents for financial gain and control over their assets, leading to heated confrontations and a tumultuous relationship with her father. It also included claims of verbal disputes and an alleged physical altercation, supported by photos of a bruise on Joan Lee's arm, which J.C. Lee has vehemently denied.

In the Business Insider interview, J.C. Lee described the accusations as "a lie," explaining that she refrained from a public rebuttal at the time of the THR piece on the advice of those around her. Reflecting on her decision, she expressed regret, stating, "You think I haven't regretted it to this day? They are all lies. That photo is insane. I never did it." While admitting to frequent verbal disagreements with her parents over financial matters, J.C. Lee was adamant that these disputes never escalated to physical violence. "I never ever touched my parents," she emphasized.

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.
