The ongoing legal drama involving Nicolas Cage, his ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton, and their son Weston Cage has taken another turn.
Fulton has filed a lawsuit against both men, alleging negligence and physical assault in a case that has stirred significant public attention.
Allegations Against Nicolas and Weston Cage
Christina Fulton, who was in a relationship with Cage from 1988 to 1991, submitted a civil complaint to the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County.
The lawsuit accuses the 61-year-old actor of failing to properly supervise their son, Weston, and alleges that this negligence contributed to an alleged attack that left Fulton with severe injuries.
She is suing Weston for assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The Alleged Attack and Arrest
According to Fulton’s claims, the violent incident took place in April 2024 near Weston’s home.
She described it as a brutal assault that resulted in “severe and life-threatening injuries.”
Weston, 34, was arrested in July on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and later released on a $150,000 bond. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Nicolas Cage Responds to the Accusations
In response to the lawsuit, Cage’s legal team dismissed Fulton’s claims as “absurd and frivolous.”
His lawyer stated that Weston is a 34-year-old man who is responsible for his own actions, and Cage should not be held accountable for his son’s behavior.
The actor has not publicly commented beyond his legal representative’s statement.
Fulton’s Claims Against Cage’s Parenting
Fulton asserts that Cage has been aware of Weston’s history of mental health struggles and violent behavior yet failed to take appropriate action.
The lawsuit states that Weston has a record of violent incidents and substance abuse, and Fulton blames Cage for allegedly enabling this behavior.
She claims that Cage financially supported Weston’s lifestyle, bailed him out of jail multiple times, and neglected to ensure he received psychiatric help.
The Impact on Fulton’s Career and Well-Being
Fulton says the incident has had devastating consequences on her life and career.
The former model and actress claims she was forced to step away from a Netflix project and other business ventures due to the injuries she sustained.
She is now seeking damages for the emotional, physical, and financial toll of the alleged assault.
Legal Proceedings and Trial Delays
Weston and Fulton both appeared in court separately last month for the ongoing legal proceedings.
However, the trial has been delayed after a continuance was granted.
Fulton’s attorney, Joseph Farzam, has accused Cage of enabling his son’s destructive behavior, stating that justice must be served to prevent future incidents.
Police and Court Records Reveal Past Incidents
Weston’s past run-ins with the law have also surfaced in light of the recent allegations.
In 2017, he was arrested for DUI and hit-and-run after crashing into parked cars, signs, and mailboxes before hitting a tree.
In 2011, he was charged with domestic violence following an altercation with his ex-wife, Nikki Williams.
Additionally, he was placed on a psychiatric hold that same year due to violent behavior.
A Troubled Family History
Fulton and Cage welcomed Weston in 1990 but never married.
Over the years, their son has struggled with mental health issues, substance abuse, and legal troubles.
The family was also involved in a lawsuit in 2023 against Weston’s ex-wife, Hila Arounian, accusing her of embezzling money and blocking Fulton from seeing her twin granddaughters.
What Comes Next?
As the legal battle continues, it remains to be seen how the court will rule on Fulton’s claims against both Cage and Weston.
With accusations of negligence, assault, and emotional distress, this case could have lasting consequences for all involved.
The next court date is expected to bring more developments, and the public will be watching closely to see how justice unfolds.
