“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.”

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.”

Meanwhile, an attorney for Weston argued, “the incident with his mother was caused by her – not his father.”

“Weston’s father, Nicolas Cage, had absolutely nothing to do with Weston’s emotional state or condition leading up to the incident with his mother, Christina Fulton,” a rep for Weston told Fox News Digital. “At Christina’s urging and direction, he agreed to see a new doctor selected by her, who promptly changed his medication and treatment.”

Weston’s attorney added, “Unfortunately, that resulted in the emotional/medical breakdown resulting in the incident with his mother.  Christina’s efforts to now blame his father for that incident are absolutely wrong and nothing more than an attempt to generate media attention and force him to pay her money.”

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

Fox News Digital confirmed at the time that “Weston’s warrant stems from a police report that was completed for battery during an incident on April 28th.”
