GOTHAM Season 5 Trailer Released; Shane West Confirmed As Bane, Harley Quinn Update, & Batman Is Coming

Are we gonna make an article about this? Stan Lee's statement on him being essentially "held hostage" by his former handler Keya Morgan from April-June 2018.

"Hello everyone. I’m here back in my home with my daughter JC. I could not be happier. I am grateful that I can see and speak with her on a daily basis. My relationship with my daughter could not be better. But, for several months this year, I was blindsided by a former associate, Keya Morgan (or whatever his actual name might be). He repeatedly told me lies about my friends and family as he gradually took control of my life. He convinced me to hate my daughter, and others, as they each sought to protect me. In my opinion, from February until June of 2018, I became subject to a type of captivity. Morgan slowly and methodically interfered with my relationships with doctors, lawyers, accountants and, most importantly, my only child, JC. During this time, Morgan would routinely brainwash me with false information about the people who sought to protect me from him. I began to believe everything he said and ultimately fell under his complete control.

I now know Morgan misrepresented everything about himself including his qualifications, his accomplishments, and his connections, and he repeatedly lied to me about my friends and associates who would attempt to contact me. I realize that he was merely using me to try to legitimize himself. Despite his statements, I was never a co-creator of anything with Morgan.

I now understand from various witnesses that, during this time, Morgan severely restricted my interaction with others including my daughter, attorney, nurses, and other caregivers whom I trusted to assist me with daily activities. Unbeknownst to me, the people who were allowed in my house were threatened with civil lawsuits and false police reports by Morgan if they allowed me to even speak to my daughter and my other advisors. Morgan even initiated the filing of a lawsuit purportedly on my behalf which I never authorized.

Without my knowledge or authorization, Morgan recorded and videotaped with his phone many of my personal conversations. I regret that there have been video recordings being distributed by Morgan without my authorization which I completely disavow in all aspects. The statements in these videos are untrue and were a result of my feeling captive and unwilling to defy Morgan. Morgan instructed me to make these “hostage video” statements about my daughter, her attorney, and others in an effort to frighten them away from their continued attempts to access and communicate with me.

I’m most upset about Morgan’s repeated attempts to alienate me from my daughter. When she and her attorney, Kirk Schenck, tried to help me after discovering Morgan was stealing from and defrauding, me, Morgan scripted more false video statements for me to read aloud that were designed to further threaten them. Morgan’s threats to release these false videos to the press are simply a vindictive action against JC and Mr. Schenck for exposing his true dishonesty and moral turpitude. I urge that no one pay any attention to these videos or anything Morgan says about me … or any other topic.

I have now learned that Morgan stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from my family and removed many items of personal property from my home. I am grateful to my daughter JC and Mr. Schenck for their months of work with law enforcement to help free me from Morgan’s web of control. After nearly three months of control, Morgan forced me to cash out my stock portfolios. Then, at midnight on June 8, 2018, against Mr. Schenck’s warnings, Morgan and his mother snuck me out of my home of 40 years and moved me into an undisclosed “safe-house” apartment without notifying my daughter. Clearly, this was not heading in the right direction. Morgan specifically stated to various witnesses this was done to further limit my daughter’s ability to communicate with me. Within days of the move, the police arrested Morgan, and I moved back home. Morgan is now out of my family’s life. And I am home where I belong. I’m with my daughter … my AVENGER.

This part is important and I want everyone to hear it — Despite recent rumors allegedly spread by Morgan and others, as I, and my late wife, Joan, told the LAPD, Adult Protective Services, and anyone else who wanted to hear the truth: my daughter JC has never hit, pushed, or abused me or my wife in any way, or assaulted me or my wife physically or otherwise. Ever. Period. Any statement to the contrary is a lie invented by Morgan, or others who have over the years attempted to exert control by distancing me from my daughter and my trusted advisors. I would hope we can now move on from this topic forever.

I sincerely apologize to those negatively affected by any “hostage videos” that are released without my authorization. I know now they are all based on lies made up by Morgan. These videos are (still) being weaponized by Morgan to further terrorize me, my family, and the professionals who sought to protect us from unscrupulous people like Morgan.

To be clear, I and my attorney Jonathan Freund trust Mr. Schenck’s representation of my daughter JC, and I consider Mr. Schenck a friend of the Lee Family.

Because I cannot write too well these days, Jonathan Freund has written this statement based on the facts as I perceived them and as they were relayed to me after the fact by my caretakers. Because I have a tough time reading, Jonathan Freund has read every word of this statement to me, and I have acknowledged they form my own thoughts and opinions about my ordeal with Morgan.

Lastly, I strongly urge anyone who suspects their elderly loved ones might be victimized under conditions where they are prevented from speaking freely of, or to, their family and friends, to be vigilant and never give up maintaining daily connections … even when the captor’s barriers seem impenetrable. Never lose hope. You can always go home.

I will likely share more about my recovery from my ordeal with Morgan as time goes by. Until then, I thank everyone for their kind wishes this year. It was really quite scary to lose control and become dependent on someone who was trying to take advantage of me. I look forward to getting back to work, and seeing all of you, very soon. Let’s lose the hate in our lives. As my daughter says, “It’s all about love.” So, I say: “Let’s get back to love.”

Stan Lee

PS: I respectfully ask all media outlets not mention, publish, or publicize any of the Morgan “hostage videos” or other recordings of me in my private life to protect my rights and the rights of the individuals referred to in those videos and recordings. I do not wish Morgan to have a continued voice in my life story. He has done enough damage already. I sincerely hope media outlets – knowing that I do not stand behind the statements in many of these videos and recordings – will respect my wishes and not seek to tarnish my legacy by sensationalizing or ridiculing this recent traumatic event in my life. Elder abuse is no laughing matter. Thank you and, as always- Excelsior"
