AceShowbiz - Nicolas Cage has broken his silence following serious accusations from his ex-partner Christina Fulton. She claimed the actor's negligence has contributed to their son Weston Coppola Cage's violent behavior, leading to a shocking assault that has left her with severe injuries.
The saga began in April 2024 when 34-year-old Weston allegedly attacked his mom in an incident she described as a "mental-health crisis." The news broke out after she was spotted with horrific bruises and black eye. He was arrested in July and charged for assault with a deadly weapon.
Fulton sued Cage and Weston on Wednesday, February 19. Fulton claimed this act of violence was not an isolated event, citing their son's "history of committing violent assault and battery and harming numerous individuals" and Cage's negligence "to take action to prevent Weston from committing acts of violence and harming others."
Nicolas Cage has categorically denied these allegations through his legal representative. "The allegations by Christina Fulton against Nicolas Cage are absurd and frivolous," Cage's lawyer declared in a statement.
The statement further highlighted that "Weston Coppola is a 34-year-old man. Mr. Cage does not control Weston's behavior in any manner and is not responsible for Weston's alleged assault of his mother."
In her legal complaint, Fulton detailed the extent of her injuries, that included "a brain concussion, multiple contusions, a disfiguring eye injury, dental trauma, PTSD and psychological damages."
These injuries, she said, required ongoing medical care, surgeries, and other treatments. In light of this, Fulton accused Nicolas Cage of negligence, negligent supervision, and negligent undertaking. Simultaneously, she's pursuing legal action against Weston for negligence, assault, battery, and emotional distress.
