Stan Lee is being sued by a former assistant, who claims he was wrongfully fired after enduring insults and abuse from the comics creator – as well as his daughter.
In the lawsuit filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Shawn Lukaszewicz said he was hired by the Lee family in October 2014 to set up and run a booth at Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo.
According to Lukaszewicz, when Lee visited the booth, he described it as “fucking embarassing” and told Lukaszewicz, “You did a shitty job – this is fucking unbelievable.”
Here’s more notable parts of the report:
“When Lukaszewicz bought a plane ticket to fly east to see his mom for her birthday, Joan Celia Lee asked him to delay the trip so he could help prepare for her birthday party, he says. But she reneged on her promise to reimburse him for his plane ticket and pay for a later flight, and berated him in front of guests at her party by calling him a “retarded *sshole,” he says.
While Lukaszewicz drove Stan Lee to an April meeting with boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, “Stan Lee became very abusive towards plaintiff for driving too slow as Mr. Pacquiao was about to depart to Las Vegas for his May 1, 2015 fight with Floyd Mayweather,” the complaint states.
When Pacquiao failed to show at the meeting, Lee called Lukaszewicz a “f*cking idiot,” and added: “You wasted my time. Now everyone at the office thinks you are a f*cking *sshole,” according to the complaint.
