Nicolas Cage sued by ex over son’s brutal attack: Lawsuit alleges negligence & domestic violence cover-up

Nicolas Cage is facing legal action from his ex-girlfriend, Christina Fulton, who has accused their son, Weston Cage, of a violent assault that allegedly left her with severe injuries. Fulton has filed a lawsuit against both Weston and Nicolas, holding the Hollywood actor responsible for enabling their son's alleged history of violent behaviour.

According to the lawsuit, Fulton claims that Weston, a professional fighter weighing around 300 pounds, attacked her in April 2024 without provocation. The attack, which allegedly took place in his apartment complex’s parking lot, elevator, and lobby, resulted in multiple injuries, including a concussion, bruises, throat trauma, and PTSD. Weston was arrested in June 2024 on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and later pleaded not guilty.
