Stan Lee, the comic book legend who co-created Spider Man, the X-Men, The Incredible Hulk and other well-known characters, is being accused of sexual misconduct by nurses caring for him at his Hollywood Hills home. Lee, 95, is alleged to have repeatedly groped and harassed multiple young female nurses, reports The Daily Mail. He allegedly asked for oral sex in the shower, walked around naked and wanted to be “pleasured” while in his bedroom. The nursing company is now “in a legal dispute” with Lee, reports The Daily Mail. No police complaint has been made and no lawsuits have been filed as of yet. Lee’s lawyer says that Lee “categorically denies” the “false and despicable” allegations. His lawyer intends to clear Lee’s “stellar good name” and suggested that the claims are part of a “shakedown.” The Daily Mail reports that a source with “knowledge of the situation” claims Lee has lost his filter and “finds it funny” to sexually harass the young nurses. The source also told The Daily Mail that “the owner at the nursing company has openly said to people that Stan has sexually harassed every single nurse that has been to the house. That got back to Lee and sparked this whole thing.” A representative for the nursing company did confirm that the owner had received several complaints from nurses who had worked at Lee’s house and that she had complained directly to Lee.
