Christina Fulton, the ex-girlfriend of actor Nicolas Cage, has released a candid statement about the Wednesday arrest of their son Weston Coppola Cage, describing herself as being “brutally assaulted” in April as a result of Weston Cage’s “manic rage.” Fulton said that on April 28 that she received “urgent messages” from friends of her son “regarding his deteriorating mental state,” urging her to come help. In a Thursday statement to People , she said she arrived at the scene in Los Angeles to offer support and console her son, who “was already in the midst of a manic rage.
” “Within minutes, I was brutally assaulted and sustained serious injuries,” she said, adding that she made “desperate pleas” to the responding officers to detain Cage for a psychological evaluation but that they allegedly “refused” her request. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department declined to comment Friday on the allegation. “As a mother, I am deeply saddened and concerned about Weston’s ongoing mental-health crisis,” Fulton said.
“It is imperative that he receives the help he desperately needs.” Fulton’s attorney, describing her as “simply a victim and witness,” told Page Six that Fulton has “fully cooperated” with the investigation and “supports any decision made by law enforcement after they independently examined the evidence and the facts.” After a felony warrant for his arrest was issued in late June, the 33-year-old Cage surr.
