Nicolas Cage Cleared from Lawsuit as Ex Drops Claims in Son's Alleged Assault Case
Nicolas CageNicolas Cage has been officially removed from a legal battle initiated by his ex-girlfriend, Christina Fulton, related to their son, Weston Coppola Cage's alleged assault on Fulton. According to recent court documents, Fulton's attorney requested the dismissal of the claims against Cage, which was granted with prejudice. This decision means Fulton cannot bring these specific claims against Cage again.
Initially, Fulton accused the 'National Treasure' star of negligence, asserting that he enabled their son’s behavior despite knowing his mental health challenges and substance issues. Fulton's lawsuit included allegations of negligent supervision, claiming Cage failed to act despite being aware of Weston's "reckless" lifestyle and history of violence.
The controversy began after an incident in April 2024, when Weston allegedly assaulted Fulton at her Los Angeles residence. Weston was later arrested in July 2024 on charges related to the incident.
Cage’s legal team has vehemently denied the accusations, labeling them as "absurd and frivolous", insisting that Cage cannot be held accountable for the actions of his adult son. This dismissal ends Fulton’s pursuit against Cage, though legal proceedings against Weston continue, with him still facing multiple charges, including assault and battery.
