The lawsuit claims that Cage facilitated his son’s behavior in several aspects. For instance, Fulton claims that the actor regularly drank alcohol with Weston, despite being aware of his history of substance abuse.

Cage allegedly also bailed his son out of jail on “multiple occasions” and continued paying for his condo, which was located next to his own, refusing to discipline him or aid him in his recovery.

Fulton said that their son’s attack derailed her career, costing her millions of dollars in opportunities

“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,” the document read.

Further complicating matters is the fact that Fulton claims the assault derailed her career as both a model and actor.

The mother claims to have been in the middle of filming a Netflix series when the attack occurred and, due to her recovery, she has been unable to work or attend promotional events, causing significant damage to her reputation and business ventures.

Cage’s attorney, Michael A. Goldstein, on the other hand, dismissed Fulton’s claims, calling her lawsuit “absurd and frivolous.”

“Weston Coppola is a 34-year-old man. Mr. Cage does not control Weston’s behavior in any manner and is not responsible for Weston’s alleged assault of his mother,” Goldstein toldPeople Magazine.

The lawyer characterized Fulton’s actions as being “nothing short of a money grab,” and a “call of attention.”

“Ms. Fulton’s decision to file a lawsuit against her own son is not surprising given her past history of litigation against family members,” he added.

In legal terms, Cage is being sued for “negligent supervision and negligent undertaking,” while their son, Weston, is being sued for “assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress.”

Fulton hasn’t clarified whether, and how much, she’s seeking in monetary reparations apart from the costs related to her filing.

Domenick Nati, a PR representative of Weston Cage’s team reached out toBoredPanda, lamenting the turn of events.

“This lawsuit is a very unfortunate situation and especially disparaging coming from a mother to her son,” the statement read.

“Weston and his team are remaining focused on his three upcoming films, and two new music singles,” Nati said. “We are happy to report he is approaching one year of sobriety.”

“The boy is grown.” Netizens agreed with Cage’s lawyer, feeling the lawsuit should only be directed at Weston
