I’ll rephrase the entire article while maintaining the same paragraph structure:
Caution: The following content discusses domestic violence incidents that may be upsetting to some readers.
Christina Fulton has made public statements regarding her son with former partner Nicolas Cage, Weston Coppola Cage, following a judicial ruling on his assault charges.
According to Fulton, Weston – her child with the Longlegs actor – “nearly ended [her] life” during an April 28, 2024 incident, reportedly phoning her claiming he was “igniting his residence” before “losing control” when she arrived, purportedly seizing her hair, forcing her down, and “compressing” and “choking” her.
The mother recounted that her son subsequently attacked his closest companion before returning to assault her again, stepping on her neck and throttling her, with the friend “endangering himself to rescue [her].”
Fulton implored judicial authorities to ensure her son “receives necessary treatment,” and on April 3, the court ordered Weston to complete a two-year mental health intervention program.
Following the proceedings, Fulton addressed reporters about the court’s determination.

During the legal proceedings, Los Angeles County Judge Enrique Monguia remarked that Weston was “clearly experiencing a psychological crisis at the time.”
As reported by Rolling Stone, Judge Monguia stated during the morning session: “Mr. Cage demonstrates symptoms of a qualifying psychological condition. I’m convinced it significantly contributed to the alleged offenses.
“He was evidently undergoing a breakdown during the incident.”
Reports indicate Fulton attended the hearing and endorsed alternative treatment rather than incarceration for her son.
Upon exiting the downtown Los Angeles courthouse, Fulton reportedly delivered a message to her former partner through journalists: “Please look after my son. Our son.”

Despite the possibility that Weston’s two felony assault charges could be dismissed by April 2027 if he completes the program and follows medical directives, court records show Fulton continues to pursue legal action against her son for assault, battery, deliberate infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
Legal documents indicate Fulton claims to have suffered various injuries from the alleged attack, including concussion, multiple contusions, a “disfiguring eye injury,” dental harm, PTSD, and additional psychological trauma.
