Overview

  • Christina Fulton, Nicolas Cage's ex-girlfriend, dismissed her negligence claims against the actor with prejudice, preventing her from refiling them in court.
  • The lawsuit stems from an April 2024 incident where Weston Coppola Cage allegedly assaulted Fulton, leaving her with severe injuries including a concussion and PTSD.
  • Fulton continues to pursue legal claims against Weston for assault, battery, and emotional distress, citing his history of mental health issues and substance abuse.
  • Cage was accused of enabling his son's behavior by bailing him out of jail and financially supporting him despite knowing his struggles, allegations his legal team called 'absurd and frivolous.'
