'Heartbroken' Nicolas Cage's Ex Accuses Law Enforcement Of Abandoning Her After Son's Alleged Attack

Nicolas Cage's ex-wife, Christina Fulton, is calling out law enforcement for abandonment after her son, Weston Coppola Cage, allegedly attacked her. 

This comes just weeks after she filed a lawsuit against her ex-husband, accusing him of failing to intervene in their son's long-standing struggles with mental health and violence.

Christina Fulton is speaking out after the alleged attack, which took place last year, claiming she has been left heartbroken by the ordeal.

Fulton did not hold back about the pain she has carried for months as she returned to the court on Monday. "I have been heartbroken as a mother for a very long time. I've done this alone. I've been left alone, if not blocked," she said.

She placed particular blame on the LAPD, claiming they failed her in her time of need. "I hold a lot of people responsible, especially the LAPD, who left me on the ground bleeding. I called you for help," she stated, recalling the aftermath of the alleged assault.

Despite the harrowing situation, Fulton maintains that her actions stem from love. "I'm here again as a mother. I love my son, tough love," she shared.

TMZ reported that she emphasized the seriousness of the issue, pointing to the broader mental health crisis affecting families nationwide. Fulton has filed a lawsuit against Weston, citing assault, battery, negligence, and emotional distress.

Beyond the legal action against Weston, Fulton also turned her attention to Cage, making it clear that she holds him accountable for what she believes led to this moment.

She revealed that Cage has blocked her, further solidifying their deep divide. "He is his father," she stated, emphasizing her belief that he failed to intervene in their son's struggles before things escalated.

While the legal battle continues, one thing is certain: Fulton is not backing down from holding accountable those she believes are responsible.

Last month, The Blast reported that Fulton has filed a lawsuit against Cage, accusing him of negligence, negligent supervision, and negligent undertaking.

In court documents obtained, Fulton's lawsuit stated, "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's lawsuit paints a picture of a parent who ignored warning signs. She claims Cage repeatedly bailed Weston out of jail after past incidents and even drank alcohol with him despite knowing about his history of substance abuse.

Additionally, she alleges that the 61-year-old financially supported Weston without ensuring he received proper psychiatric care or any structure to prevent further violent episodes.

Through his legal team, the actor made it clear he will not be taking the blame. The "Leaving Las Vegas" star's attorney issued a firm response to the legal action, dismissing Fulton's claims as baseless. 

The statement read, "The allegations by Christina Fulton against Nicolas Cage are absurd and frivolous." The legal team went on to emphasize that Weston is an adult and is fully responsible for his own actions; his father has no control over his behavior.

"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," the statement read. 

Following his arrest for the alleged assault on his mother, Weston suffered another personal setback. The actor finalized his divorce from Hila Cage Coppola, but the outcome of their custody battle was far from favorable for him.

The Blast reported that as part of their divorce settlement, Coppola was awarded sole legal and physical custody of their twin daughters, Cyress and Venice. She has full authority over all major decisions regarding their upbringing, including their education, health, and residence.

Under the terms of the agreement, Weston was stripped of any visitation rights for the time being. If he hopes to see his daughters again, he will have to wait for a future court ruling to determine whether visitation will be granted.

Coppola also holds the right to apply for passports for their children without needing Weston's approval. However, the agreement prevents her from taking the twins out of the United States for more than two months at a time.

With Christian Fulton standing her ground, this legal showdown is far from over.
