Nicolas Cage is finally out. The lawsuit, the accusations, the whispers—gone, at least for him. Christina Fulton, his former partner, decided to let go of her claims against him, but the drama? Oh, it lingers. The Nicolas Cage lawsuit might be done for the Hollywood icon, but its shadow still stretches over his son, Weston Cage.

Just a month ago, it seemed like things were heading toward a courtroom clash. Fulton accused the elder Cage of something quite damning—knowing that Weston was spiraling, knowing about his history of violence and substance issues, and allegedly choosing to do nothing. Negligence, she said. Reckless, she implied. It was a heavy charge, one suggesting that a father had looked away while his son became a danger to those around him, including her.

But on Monday, Fulton did an about-face, quietly withdrawing Nicolas Cage from her legal crosshairs. Not "with prejudice" either, which means she could have left room to strike again. Instead, the claims vanish—non refundable, irretrievable, like a deleted scene from a film that will never be restored.

Her attorney, Joseph Farzan, issued a vague but definitive statement: " Mr. Cage and Ms. Fulton have reached a confidential resolution." Amicable. Confidential. Two words that, in Hollywood, usually mean some kind of settlement or an agreement to just move on.

But this isn’t a clean-cut ending

Fulton’s battle continues, but now solely against Weston Cage. The allegations remain chilling: that in July, Weston, in the throes of what she describes as a "manic rage," attacked her. That she was left with a concussion, damage to her neck and throat, a disfiguring eye injury, and trauma severe enough to derail her career. That he, her own son, caused it.

The case against Weston is messy. The details are stitched together with incidents stretching back months. The April assault where he allegedly punched two people. The July arrest for a deadly weapon assault. The friends called his mother, urging her to intervene, only for her to allegedly become another casualty.

Nicolas Cage, though? He has removed himself from this spiral. Legally, at least. And not without a parting shot.

Michael A. Goldstein, Weston Cage’s attorney, didn’t hold back: "It appears Ms. Fulton and her personal injury lawyers saw the writing on the wall." He dismissed the lawsuit as "suspect" and hinted that maybe, just maybe, Christina Fulton should focus on sending "positive energy" instead of legal paperwork.

That’s one way to frame it. Another way? Maybe the legal weight against Nicolas Cage wasn’t as heavy as originally presented. Maybe it was a battle Fulton realized she wasn’t going to win. Or maybe there was something more practical at play—a settlement, a strategic retreat, or even a personal decision to let go.

Make no mistake: this saga still breathes

Christina Fulton isn’t just suing for medical costs. She claims the alleged assault wrecked her career, cost her filming time on a Netflix production, and torpedoed an opportunity worth “millions of dollars." Whether she can prove that remains to be seen.

Weston Cage, for his part, has pleaded not guilty to the felony assault charges. His attorney continues to paint this lawsuit as a cash grab, a legal maneuver rather than a desperate plea for accountability.

And Nicolas Cage? He remains, as ever, an enigma wrapped in a Hollywood myth. The Nicolas Cage drama never truly stops—it just takes on different forms. Today, it’s about a lawsuit he’s no longer part of. Tomorrow? Who knows. But for now, he walks away, free from this particular legal storm, leaving his son to weather what’s left.
