Nicolas Cage’s ex Christina Fulton sues him, son Weston for assault
Nicolas Cage is being sued by his ex, Christina Fulton, after their son, Weston Cage, allegedly physically assaulted her last year.
Fulton, 57, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County on Wednesday against both Cages, claiming Nicolas, 61, allegedly enabled Weston’s behavior prior to the alleged incident of assault, according to the court documents obtained by People.
In July 2024, Weston, 34, was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly assaulted Fulton in April. He was released on bond and pled not guilty to the charges.
At the time, Fulton claimed her son was suffering from a mental health crisis when he allegedly beat her.lo
In her lawsuit, Fulton is suing Weston for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress, and Nicolas for negligent supervision and negligent undertaking. She’s suing both for negligence, per PEOPLE.
Fulton claimed the “Longlegs” actor, whom she dated from 1988 to 1991, allegedly failed to stop Weston from being violent, despite knowing that their son “has a long history of mental and psychological disorder and a history of committing violent assault and battery.”
Nicolas’ ex said Weston’s alleged assault caused her “severe and life threatening injuries,” including a brain concussion, multiple contusions, a disfiguring eye injury, dental trauma, PTSD and psychological damages.
After the alleged incident, Fulton was seen out with a black eye and several facial bruises.
Fulton further claimed in her lawsuit that the alleged attack “derailed her life,” to the point where she was unable to film a Netflix series she was working on at the time, or go to brand promotion events.
As for Nicolas, Fulton claimed her ex “failed to take action to prevent Weston from committing acts of violence and harming others.”
The lawsuit accused Nicolas of bailing his son out of jail several times, drinking alcohol with Weston “despite knowing his substance abuse history,” and buying Weston a condo in Los Angeles next door to him.
Fulton is seeking unspecified damages in her lawsuit.
The Post has reached out to Nicolas and Weston for comment.
Fulton first spoke out about the alleged assault in July and claimed Weston “was in the midst of a manic rage” when he allegedly attacked her.
“As a mother, I am deeply saddened and concerned about Weston’s ongoing mental-health crisis,” she said in a statement at the time. “It is imperative that he receives the help he desperately needs.”
Weston was reportedly arrested for a DUI and a hit and run back in 2017. Six years earlier, he was reportedly arrested and booked on felony domestic violence charges after an incident at his and his then-wife Nikki Williams’ apartment in LA.
