Nicolas Cage’s Son Weston, 33, Arrested ‘For Assaulting His Mother During Mental Health Crisis’

Nicolas Cage’s son Weston, 33, has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother during a mental health crisis.

The LAPD confirmed that Weston was arrested Wednesday for assault with a deadly weapon – just weeks after his mother, actress Christina Fulton, 57, was spotted with intense blues on his face.

The 33-year-old actor was released on $150,000 bail around 10 a.m. The Sun newspaper reported that his father had posted his bail.

“The family knew this was coming, but needless to say it’s a huge shock,” a source close to the family told the outlet.

The scuffle between Weston and Fulton took place on April 28 in the Los Angeles area, when a verbal argument reportedly escalated into a physical dispute.

An ambulance was reportedly called to the home to examine Fulton, but she refused to be taken to hospital.

Investigators say Weston was gone by the time police arrived on scene, and law enforcement will determine whether the case will be considered a felonious assault.

Sources say Fulton was trying to comfort his son, who was struggling with emotional issues.

She denied allegations that the two men had argued and asked that the matter be kept private.

The Snake Eyes actress was spotted putting coins into a parking meter with a black eye and bruises on her face.

There she met an unknown friend with whom she shared a hug.

The actress previously released a statement about the interaction with her son, saying: “Weston and I had no arguments prior to the incident.

“On Sunday, April 28, several of Weston’s best friends reached out to me asking for help as they were experiencing a mental health crisis at Weston’s house.”

“When I arrived I was greeted by my son who was clearly in a mental breakdown, which turned into a horrible experience”

“I have always wanted to help my son overcome his mental health issues. I do everything I can to give him the ongoing support he needs,” Fulton added.

This isn’t the first time the National Treasure actor’s son has had trouble with the law, having been arrested in 2017 for drunk driving and hit-and-run.

Police said he hit several parked cars, signs and mailboxes before crashing his car into a tree.

After being taken to hospital, he was charged with drunken driving and arrested on $30,000 bail.

In 2011, he was charged with domestic violence after having an argument with his ex-wife Nikki Williams, according to ABC News.

Weston has been treated for mental health issues in the past.

He was hospitalized in psychiatry in 2011 after a violent incident in Los Angeles.

At the time, Fulton blamed her son’s mental health issues on the Oscar winner, saying, “Nicolas Cage has caused damage and interfered and done something absolutely horrible, and I just have to go get my son,” she told Inside Edition.

“I was the one who raised Weston. I was the one who took care of Weston. His father was very busy working as an actor,” she said.

Fulton and Cage, 60, began dating in 1988 and welcomed Weston in 1990. The couple never married and separated within a year of Weston’s birth.

Last November, Weston and Fulton, who launched a successful skin-care line, filed a lawsuit against Weston’s ex-wife, Hila Arounian, alleging she embezzled $100,000, engaged in a defamation campaign against them and sought a “fraudulent restraining order” that prevented Fulton and his family from seeing Weston’s twin daughters, Venice and Cyress.

Complaint documents obtained by Page Six state: “This type of defamation is part of a disturbing pattern of behavior in which Ms. Arounian makes false, malicious allegations against people as a means of coercion and manipulation.”

Fulton also alleges that her former daughter-in-law manipulated Weston into filing a protective order against her in 2020.

At the time of filing, neither Nicholas nor Fulton had met their twin granddaughters, who will turn four in July.

“It’s devastating not to see these children. Nicolas and I haven’t been able to see our two beautiful granddaughters since they were born. We are living a silent and horrible nightmare. It’s insane, painful, hurtful, devastating.”

Weston has two older sons, Lucian, nine, and Sorin, seven, with his ex-wife Danielle, whom he was married to from 2013 to 2016.
