ah okay um this is this is going to be one of the saddest videos I've had to make in a while because the deeper you look into this the more heartbreaking this whole situation becomes if you haven't already seen the viral clip this is John Boulder jajack he was Stanley's assistant for the last four years of his life but key Point here John said that he wasn't just Stanley's assistant you know he said that he was his Confidant but most importantly his friend and a couple of days ago which is now over 6 years after St passing Jan posts a trailer to a new documentary he's working on in the trailer he comes out with bombshell claims that Stan leye spent the last years of his life enduring mistreatment manipulation and betrayal at the hands of the people closest to him he went on to say that at the time you know he didn't have the power to stop it but he did have a camera and he filmed everything and after setting out the whole plot he then speaks directly to the public and he says he needs our help to finish the film so that he can expose the truth and bring Stan the Justice he deserves he then announces a $300,000 Kickstarter so that he can get this documentary over the line oh my Lord if John thought that this you know the public was going to get behind it and support it man that massively backfired there are 46 comments on his Kickstarter and every single one of them paid just so they were able to call out this project some of the biggest YouTubers are now making videos on the situation including penguin zero it's going hugely viral on X and you never want to go viral on X and people are commenting saying things like you know if if you were by his side for the last 4 years and filmed everything why didn't you say something when it mattered not 6 years after he's already gone honestly with the backlash that this proposed documentary is now getting I wouldn't be surprised if he deletes the whole Kickstarter by the time this video goes live and unfortunately looking into this video it goes so much deeper than just John it is truly horrible stuff so uh with that being said gosh I feel like this is the wrong time to do an enthusiastic whipping so um let's stop the Y and let's get cracking that was a respect whipping so news daddy news Daddy okay so along with the trailer for the documentary which I'll put in the description I don't think I want to play it here it just gives them a reason to copyright and take the video down but also released was some exclusive clips from that documentary now one of these you really have to watch to get an understanding of what we're going to go through now you are you are you ready to give a riveting speech you're going to change lives I thought I was finished with that what do I have to do now you're never it's never over you what I said I thought I was finished no but apparently I'm not no once we're done we'll get out of here now what do I do here same thing talk about you we we we'll we'll make some new new questions but I don't have the yes you will yes you get your money worth that me every single penny Penny like five pennies yeah pretty pretty bad so the guy behind the camera is John as you can see by the long hair and the tattoo on his right arm and he is the one that said to him at the very beginning you know you're never over which I get it you sounds a little bit like a joke but it's not is it and he says that to him after Stan says he thought he was done the next guy that comes over and is in a lot of clips of this whole thing is a man named Max Anderson and he was Stan's Road manager now here's the crazy part about Max uh because he and three other guys including Stan's own attorney let me just say that with a point all were accused of elderly abuse and financial exploitation and these were the people whose literal only job was to protect him that's like freaking going to your doctor cuz you got lung cancer and they prescribe you cigarettes that's what it's like now the worst of these accusations at least to our knowledge was undoubtedly his business manager Kia Morgan now Kia was actually arrested and charged with elderly abuse forgery and fraud Stanley's attorney even had to file a restraining order against Kia accusing him of taking advantage of Stanley's impaired hearing vision and judgment movingly from his long time Family Home and preventing family and Associates from contacting him bro this guy was charged with false imprisonment I had no idea what that even was and when I looked it up he was accused of moving Stanley in the last months of his life to an undisclosed location and cutting off all access to his close friends staff and business associates that is insane and looking into all of this I stumbled upon this tweet from Stan Lee just 5 months before he passed away at 95 years old and it reads my only partner and business manager is Kia Morgan and not all the other people making false claims he then attaches a video kind of going through all of this maybe Alex will play a clip or two it has come to my attention that many people contact other companies or other people trying to get in touch with me I just want to go on the record is saying I have only one partner only one person who does represent me and that's Kia Morgan any and in it if you pay attention he constantly looks over to the left to read what we can only presume is the scripts or the notes of what he was supposed to say Kia then comments on this post thank you Stan knowing you is one of the greatest honors of my life like Michael Jackson used to always tell us Stan is the greatest writing genius alive and the psyche of children around the world love you brother Kia was also accused of stealing money from Stan withdrawing large sums of money from his account and the list goes on now when these accusations actually went to trial he was found not guilty by an LA court K Morgan walked away free with no conviction he did not serve any jail time related to the case and all charges were dismissed or dropped after the trial and what makes this whole situation even sadder is that a year before Stan passed away his wife passed away and you want to know how the people around him allegedly reacted to his wife's death here's a quote from a report that the guardian did since the death of lean's wife there had been multiple men who tried to attach themselves to Sten in his various businesses to manage his Affairs so yeah his uh his wife dies and allegedly a bunch of people try and scramble and attach themselves to his fortune and businesses man Hollywood truly sounds like one of the most horrific environments to ever find yourself in anyway now that you get the background of all of this John bjack then comes along saying that he's going to expose all of it and in the literal words of his documentary trailer this isn't speculation it's all on camera undeniable this is old Stanley coming at you I no you're not old irrefutable I thought I was finished but apparently I'm not no ambiguity so let me get this straight bro sat on irrefutable undeniable video evidence of Stan getting exploited for six years and only now you you want to make it public yeah I mean when you look at it like that it's not hard to see why his trailer now has more than double the dislikes than it has likes now if we head over to the actual Kickstarter for this project the description reads a roller coaster of drama and duplicity Stan Lee the final chapter is the story of how comic book Legend Stan Lee landed in the middle of a scandal as wild as any superhero Saga a scandal as wild as any super superhero Saga bro what superheroes are we referring to the Avengers the age of exploitation the Guardians of the retirement home the Fantastic fraud wild description under the title what will the money allow us to do he names a bunch of things you know like casting wardrobe hair and makeup editing visual effects color correction all of those things he then talks about the rewards that you would receive when donating to this we are thrilled to offer you a selection of the coolest and most high quality rewards as a thank you for supporting stanlee the Final Chapter we have partnered with some of the best comic retailers in the business to create this set of sweet products set of sweet products that we would be proud to own ourselves bro this Kickstarter has 60 tiers of rewards let me read you just some of these you know we've got a signs limited edition photo for $125 he's got 125 left we've got a Stanley La Tour with the director and that cost about $500 oh and we even got a shout out in the credits costing $110,000 and then you got about 60 plus more variations of these rewards then if you go up to the comments in the kickstarter everyone that has comment I literally looked for one positive one couldn't find one they have all paid to gain access just so they can call out this documentary and saying things like a documentary about abuse shouldn't need 60 plus reward options to get people to want to donate like the cause of it should be enough and not like a signed photo you know gell says for those new here people cannot leave a comment unless they donate so I'm leaving $1 as a temporary donation I have backed dozens of projects across the years on here and I finally stumbled upon the first real red flag project 60 tiers is absurd beyond belief not even the most technological Advanced projects around here would consider such an odd number this is just straight up exploiting the legacy of Stan Lee or stepping on his grave mad little pixel said this seems exploitative as well I get people want to make money got to make money but you have like 60 reward teers there's no justice for Stan Lee just more people making money off his name you filmed everything and said nothing just to wait years later to sell your story watching him suffer while you did Jack sad muhanda Bala said seriously dude if you wanted people to know about what happened you could have released this on YouTube you would have reached a huge audience but instead you recorded Stan for 3 years knowing that you could use it for a profit I mean even if You released it on YouTube one would have been close to free and two you still would have made money with that sense and don't get me started on the budget $300,000 you haven't even done a proper breakdown of the budget instead you just L listed different departments that need to get paid I guarantee you you can make this film for about 10 to 15K I pledge $1 to leave this com I'm not going to read them all you get the point now so far John has raised just under $50,000 and this has only been out for a few days so it's safe to say that not everyone agrees with you know these comments you know others could argue that individuals at Netflix you know they profit from releasing documentaries on sensitive subjects all the time and yeah I mean fair enough I don't necessarily think it's the profit that people are having the issue with I think it's more of just the feeling about how it's all gone down you know he Stan's friend and he personally filmed it all I don't think people at Netflix are filming the wild documentaries that they put out and be like yeah I could have said something done something but you know we chose to and then also asking the public for money to help release it and then also overly commercializing it I feel like that's where the tone of where this all goes wrong to be fair there's no doubt that releasing this footage could help you know bring Justice to those who may have exploited Stan and if the stuff is in there like irrefutable undeniable then that needs to get out now because where was that when the trial was going on so it's definitely needed but the way that it's getting out there wild Alo in the spirit of fairness we do need to wait for him to acknowledge and make his statement about why he's done it the way that he's done because as of right now without his comment man it seems sus anyway if and when that comment does come I'll make an update uh but ultimately what do you guys think is this just exploiting the Stanley name further or is he got good intentions but you know just went about it the wrong way and he didn't realize how bad it would come off it could be either but let me know hello you all and I will catch you later this week or maybe next week until then see you later
