Ex-wife sues Nicolas Cage over house sale
By ANIWednesday, December 9, 2009
WASHINGTON - Nicolas Cage’s ex-wife Christina Fulton has filed a lawsuit against the actor and his business manager for allegedly ruining her plans to sell her house.
In the legal papers filed at Los Angeles on Dec 8, Fulton claims Cage bought her a house in Los Angeles in 2001 in return for her giving up her acting career to take care of the couple’s son Weston.
However when she attempted to sell the property earlier this year (09) she realised it wasn’t hers to sell - Cage had reportedly never transferred the title.
Fulton also claims that Cage served her with a 60-day notice to vacate the premises in September (09) and blames her ex-husband’s former business manager, Sam Levin, for leaving her with a 1-million-dollar tax debt on the property.
According to TMZ.com, in the lawsuit Fulton alleges “mental, physical and emotional abuse” but fails to expand on her claims.
Cage’s lawyer, Marty Singer, insists the lawsuit is “an absurd claim”.
“All of these claims are long-time barred by the statute of limitations and are baseless… We expect this lawsuit to be promptly thrown out,” Contactmusic quoted Singer as telling People.com.
“This lawsuit is ridiculous… Nicolas Cage has given her approximately three million every year for many years, even though he was only obligated to pay her six thousand a month in child support,” Singer added. (ANI)
