Stan Lee’s tragic final years: Shocking new documentary exposes elder abuse and exploitation

Stan Lee spent his life bringing superheroes to the world—Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, and so many more. But behind the joyful cameos and conventions, his last years were marked by serious exploitation. A new documentary, Stan Lee: The Final Chapter, talks about the dark, uncomfortable truth about what really happened.

The film is being put together by Jon Bolerjack, who worked closely with Lee during his final four years. Bolerjack wasn’t just an assistant; he was a witness to what many believe was the mishandling and manipulation of an ageing legend. According to Bolerjack, Lee was constantly pushed to sign memorabilia and make public appearances, despite his poor health. In video clips already shared, Lee appears exhausted while being shuffled between events.

‘I wouldn’t go to police if I was raped’: Stacey Dooley exposes broken system in viral BBC documentary

Stacey Dooley has said something that’s hard to hear but important to talk about: if she were raped, she doesn’t think she’d go to the police. After spending three years listening to women’s stories for her latest BBC documentary Rape on Trial, Dooley says her trust in the system is shaken.

The 38-year-old presenter told Radio Times that what she’s seen while making the series left her feeling doubtful. “If somebody raped me, I don’t think I would go to the police,” she said. “It’s such a bleak and disappointing realisation. But based on what I’ve witnessed, I wouldn’t feel confident.”

Inside 'Picture This': Meet the choreographer behind Picture This

Nileeka Bose: The choreographer bringing Bollywood energy to 'Picture This' and British screens

Some people dance to impress. Others dance to express. For Nileeka, dance has always been about something deeper: connection. Bridging cultures, generations, and entire continents—one foot tap, shoulder shimmy, and joyful spin at a time. And nowhere does that connection come alive more vividly than in Picture This, Amazon Prime’s latest Brit-Desi rom-com.
