Recent court documents reveal that the actor has been cleared of any wrongdoing in connection with a lawsuit filed by Christina.

In her allegations, she claimed that her estranged husband disregarded their son's mental health issues and instead enabled his troubling behavior, which culminated in a physical attack on her in April 2024.

While Nicolas has been dismissed from the lawsuit, the claims against Weston are still active. An attorney for Christina filed the request to dismiss the claims against Nicolas.

Since these claims were dismissed with prejudice, Christina cannot pursue them any further.In response, Nicolas's attorney described the allegations as "absurd and frivolous."

As a mother and a concerned fellow, Christina's reflection also extended to Nicolas' role in the breakdown of their son's attitude.

She revealed that Nicolas had blocked her, highlighting that there was an ongoing rift between them. Christina also noted that the monetary supply from Nicolas to Weston did not stop, even when it seemed like the best way to curb his excesses.

Christina expressed, "He is his father," to underscore her belief that Nicolas should have intervened in their son's struggles earlier. 

She also claimed that Nicolas consistently bailed the musician out of jail after prior incidents and even chose to consume alcohol with him despite being aware of his struggles with substance abuse.

As the legal battle unfolds, it is clear that the actor's ex is committed to ensuring that those she believes are responsible face consequences. Sadly, that is not Nicolas's cross to bear anymore.
