In the trial, Fulton urged the actor to be alleged to have failed to intervene and help his son.

“Weston has a long history of mental and psychological disorder and a history of committing violent abuse and battery and injury many individuals,” said the mood, submitted at the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County. “Nicolas has been aware of Weston’s history and yet failed to take steps to prevent Weston from committing acts of violence and harm others.”

In a statement obtained by people, a lawyer for Cage has said: “The charges from Christina Fulton against Nicolas Cage are absurd and frivolous.”

“Weston Coppola is a 34-year-old man. Mr. Cage does not control Weston’s behavior in any way and is not responsible for Weston’s alleged abuse against his mother,” Cage’s lawyer added.

In a statement to people, Weston’s lawyer Michael A. Goldstein wrote: “Weston’s father, Nicolas Cage, had absolutely nothing to do with Weston’s emotional state or condition that led to the incident with her mother, Christina Fulton. The incident with her mother was caused by her – not his father. At Christina’s call and direction, he agreed to see a new doctor selected by her, who quickly changed his medication and treatment. Unfortunately, it resulted in the emotional/medical division which resulted in the event with his mother. Christina’s efforts to now blame her father for that incident are completely wrong and nothing but an attempt to generate media attention and force him to pay her money. ”

In Fulton’s first archiving, she sued cages on claims of negligent monitoring and negligent commitment, and Weston claims for abuse, battery, deliberate supply of emotional complaints and negligent supply of emotional disorders. She also sued Cage and Weston for a requirement for negligence. Currently, the amount in damages that Fulton is demanding is unknown, although she has asked for costs related to her archiving.
