Cage and Son Face Lawsuit Over Alleged Assault

Christina Fulton has filed a lawsuit against Nicolas Cage and their son Weston Coppola Cage, alleging an assault by Weston during a mental health crisis in April 2024. Fulton accuses Cage of negligence, claiming he failed to address Weston's longstanding mental health and violent behavior issues, enabling the attack. The lawsuit states that Fulton sustained severe injuries, including a concussion and PTSD, impacting her career. Weston's legal team dismisses the lawsuit as a 'money grab,' while Cage's attorney labels it 'absurd and frivolous,' asserting Cage is not responsible for his adult son's actions. Weston faces two felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon, to which he has pleaded not guilty. Fulton seeks damages for the alleged physical, emotional, and economic harm caused by the incident.
