Nicolas Cage’s Son Avoids Jail, Gets Mental Health Diversion for Alleged Assault on Mom

Nicolas Cage's son, Weston Cage, avoids jail with mental health diversion program after his mom describes her alleged assault in harrowing statement

She recalled being at a dinner when she received a call saying Weston was “setting his apartment on fire.” Fulton said she rushed to her son’s building, where he allegedly greeted her in an angry and manic state. In a related lawsuit filed in February, Fulton sued Nicolas Cage for negligence, claiming he enabled their son’s “reckless” behavior by bailing him out of jail, supporting him financially without requiring treatment and drinking alcohol with him “despite knowing his substance abuse issues and history of violent outbursts.” According to the complaint, the alleged assault “derailed” Fulton’s life, forcing her to drop out of a Netflix series and promotional events related to her skincare and fitness ventures.
