“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.”

Fulton claims that Cage had supported their son by bailing him out of jail multiple times and drinking alcohol with Weston “despite knowing his substance abuse history.”

She additionally accuses Cage of not seeking the “necessary psychiatric” help that their son needs, as she called Weston’s lifestyle “reckless.”

“The allegations by Christina Fulton against Nicolas Cage are absurd and frivolous. Weston Coppola is a 34-year-old man,” Cage’s lawyers shared with Fox News Digital in a statement. 

“Mr. Cage does not control Weston’s behavior in any manner and is not responsible for Weston’s alleged assault of his mother.”

Reps for Fulton and Weston did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
