Disclaimer- While the sources are iffy, there's one quote regarding the nurses complaining, so I feel that it's more than just tabloid fodder. Mods can lock if this isn't good enough.

From Page Six- https://pagesix.com/2018/01/09/marvel-creator-stan-lee-accused-of-sexual-harassment/

Comic book legend Stan Lee has been accused of groping and harassing the nurses who care for him at his home in Los Angeles.

According to the Daily Mail, the nursing company is currently in a legal dispute with the 95-year-old Marvel creator after nurses claimed he asked for oral sex in the shower and to be "pleasured" in his bedroom.

"He doesn't seem to care what people think of him, he's lost his filter," a source told the tabloid. "There has been a stream of young nurses coming to his house in West Hollywood and he has been sexually harassing them. He finds it funny."
The source added, "He's also very handsy and has groped some of the women, it's unacceptable behavior, especially from an icon like Stan."
A rep for the nursing company confirmed several nurses have complained and the owner of the company has spoken to Lee directly, but the company stopped working for him at the end of 2016.
"Mr. Lee categorically denies these false and despicable allegations and he fully intends to fight to protect his stellar good name and impeccable character," his lawyer said in a statement to the site. "We are not aware of anyone filing a civil action, or reporting these issues to the police, which for any genuine claim would be the more appropriate way for it to be handled. Instead, Mr. Lee has received demands to pay money and threats that if he does not do so, the accuser will go to the media. Mr. Lee will not be extorted or blackmailed, and will pay no money to anyone because he has done absolutely nothing wrong."

Other sites coming out with articles but unsure if they're running the same Page Six item.

What say you? How much do you like your comics to overlook a old man groper? Do you treat him like David Bowie and conveniently forget what he did? Or do you throw him out on his ass like so many others?

This makes me think of the one Seinfeld episode where Elaine's line is on abortion. If you anti-abortion, you're out, no matter how bad it makes yourself feel and the loss of commodity that you love.

Where's your line? Excelsior or exile?

I read about this also but I'll wait for more credible sources than Page Six before making any judgment

The Daily Mail is garbage and has constantly made up stories to slander people and organizations. They are harrassers and should be disregarded.

I guess we should've seen this one coming. A legend, but an old white man who has had a lot of power and influence for a long time, visionary or not.

Daily Mail being a bad source is true, I'd like to see if any other more credible outlets come out with the story.

I guess it depends, he is 95, his mind might not be all there. I am not saying it is a justification, but the person he used to might have dissapeared completely. If he has become senile to the point were the mood changes make him a volatile man, then he is unsafe to others and has to be looked after but not necessarily judged. Granted, if it comes out that he has a history of doing this and did it while still being of sane mind, then yeah, of course, fuck him.

As DailyMail is the source, it's a lock. Can be reopened with another more reputable one w/ a new thread.
