Stan Lee está siendo víctima de una serie de titulares engañosos que afirman que el padre de Marvel está recibiendo una serie de abusos por parte de su círculo íntimo. Con la ayuda de Keira Morgan (su asistente personal), Lee ha grabado un vídeo donde desmiente estos hechos y afirmando estar dispuesto a demandar todas esas publicaciones:
Mientras tanto, los fans se han organizado en su apoyo, creando el movimiento #StandbyStan. El objetivo de esta tendencia es solicitar algún tipo de ayuda o intervención para Lee, cuya salud, además, es delicada.
You can ignore headlines, you can claim conjecture, you can assume this is just overblown, but when there's VIDEO FRIKKIN' EVIDENCE of Stan Lee having to be reminded how to write his name by his 'minder', you can't disregard that. #StandByStan https://t.co/iuC6P0BoHC

En el vídeo que se puede apreciar en este tuit, queda constancia de un hecho del que nos hacíamos eco esta semana. En la Comic Con de Silicon Valley, el escritor había estado firmando autógrafos y haciéndose fotos durante horas, lo que preocupó a sus seguidores.
Os dejamos con otros tuits donde los fans se lamentan por el estado y trato que recibe Stan Lee :

My heart breaks for Stan Lee. He's 95. Would anyone else bring their elderly frail grandparent out all day to sign autographs and to have photo opportunities with random stranger's? I think not. Let him live out the rest of his days in peace.
The treatment of @TheRealStanLee at his most recent con is truly heartbreaking to see, for the love of God treat him with dignity and respect and not a money machine, let him rest and recover, he's brought so much joy to millions the world over 😢😢#standbystan #excelsior

As a lifelong fan and reader of @Marvel the news of what is happening to @TheRealStanLee saddens and disturbs me. I #StandByStan and call on the rest of decent fans and people everywhere to do the same.

One of the greatest creative minds of our generation, who had to fight for every dollar he deserved for his creations, is now being milked for all he is worth. #StandByStan

I don' think this plan is a good idea. What Stan needs is some executive at Disney, or Marvel, to sit down with him and help him hire a good management team and a good lawyer to sort all of this out.
