This support, according to the complaint, included bailing Weston out of jail on multiple occasions and footing the bill for his downtown Los Angeles condo. Furthermore, Fulton alleges that Cage contributed to Weston's "reckless" lifestyle by drinking alcohol with him, "despite knowing [Weston's] substance abuse history." Weston has been open about his struggles with substance abuse and was arrested for a DUI in 2017. The complaint explicitly states, "Nicolas knew or should have known that Weston posed a serious and imminent danger to others, including Plaintiff, based on his documented history of violent assaults, substance abuse, and mental instability."

Cage's Defense

Predictably, Cage's legal team has vehemently denied the allegations. In a statement obtained by USA Herald, his attorney dismissed Fulton's claims as "absurd and frivolous," asserting that "Mr. Cage does not control Weston's behavior in any manner and is not responsible for Weston's alleged assault of his mother."  Weston Cage's attorney, Michael A. Goldstein, echoed this sentiment, stating, "Ms. Fulton’s decision to file a lawsuit against her own son is not surprising given her past history of litigation against family members. It appears to be nothing short of a money grab and call for attention... We will deal with this appropriately, and in a courtroom.”

The Aftermath

Fulton claims the alleged 2024 altercation left her with a concussion, multiple contusions, a disfiguring eye injury, dental trauma, PTSD, and psychological damages. The lawsuit states that "these injuries have required extensive medical care, surgeries, and treatments," and have impacted her "thriving" modeling and acting career, preventing her from filming a recent Netflix project or attending promotional events. Adding another layer of complexity to this already tangled web, Fulton filed a lawsuit in November against Weston's ex-wife, Hila Arounian, accusing her of using a "fraudulent restraining order" to prevent Fulton and Cage from seeing their granddaughters. This case raises critical questions about parental responsibility, the impact of enabling behavior, and the long-lasting consequences of violence within families.
