Nicolas Cage’s ex sues him, son for alleged ‘catastrophic’ assault

'The allegations by Christina Fulton against Nicolas Cage are absurd and frivolous,' a rep for the actor said in a statement.

Nicolas Cage’s ex, Christina Fulton, is suing the actor and their son, Weston, over an alleged assault stemming from an April 2024 incident.

Weston, 34, and Fulton were allegedly involved in a verbal dispute that turned physical, an encounter she claims left her with “catastrophic” physical, emotional and financial injuries.

Fulton is accusing Cage, 61, of ignoring Weston’s mental health concerns, according to legal documents obtained by People. She is suing the pair for negligence and Weston for assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

“Weston has a long history of mental and psychological disorder and a history of committing violent assault and battery and harming numerous individuals,” the lawsuit states, filed in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County. (Global News has not independently viewed the legal documents.)

Fulton also claims Cage “enabled” their son’s alleged behaviour.

“Nicolas has been aware of Weston’s history and nevertheless failed to take action to prevent Weston from committing acts of violence and harming others,” the suit reads, according to the outlet.

In July, Weston was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly punching and injuring two victims, according to the Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles County arrest records show Weston was released on July 10 after posting a $150,000 bond. Later that month, he pleaded not guilty to two felony counts. A hearing has been set for March 2025.

Fulton later claimed she was one of the victims and said she was “brutally assaulted,” adding that Weston needed to receive “the help he desperately needs.”
