Nicolas Cage found son “beaten to a pulp”

By Alexandra Heilbron on June 10, 2011 | 17 Comments


Nicolas Cage arrived on the scene at The Farmer’s Kitchen restaurant in Los Angeles to find his son Weston Cage “beaten to a bloody pulp” by his trainer, Kevin Villegas, according to TMZ. Weston, 20, apparently tried to deliver a roundhouse kick at Villegas when he was denied an item on the menu. Villegas then dragged Weston outside, threw him to the ground and punched him in the face 13 times while onlookers filmed the scene with phone cameras. Police arrived to find Weston’s face covered in blood and Villegas sitting on his chest. When Villegas released him, Weston began “freaking out” according to onlookers, and police threatened to taser him if he didn’t quiet down. Weston was taken by ambulance with his father at his side to a local hospital. Just days before the incident, Weston’s mother filed documents in court accusing Cage of “abusing and traumatizing” Weston as a child. The document states: “Since birth and early childhood Plaintiff and Defendant Cage’s only son, Weston, has suffered from a number of mental, psychological, and physical ailments.” Villegas has been fired as Weston’s trainer and is being investigated by police. Weston is also planning to press charges.

    kids today are out of control. This is what happens when XBOX and not parents are doing the parenting.

    “Weston, 20, apparently tried to deliver a roundhouse kick at Villegas when he was denied an item on the menu.”

    I know when Mcdonalds says breakfast is over for the day, and I really want breakfast… I resort to throwing a rolling thunder uppercut. It’s the obvious thing to do in that situation.

    Hahaha if someone tried to deliver a round house kick at me i’d do the same thing deny that Sh$& and take him to the back and give him a beat down

  10. jeff • June 11, 2011 @ 10:24 AM

    Maybe he was mad that Mcdonalds doesn’t serve pizza anymore.

    JEFF, don’t bring video games into this because you were born with an STD(short thumb disorder) and couldn’t learn the ways of the Samurai like all us other survivors.

    Also, Nic Cage is a boss.

  12. Demigod • June 12, 2011 @ 6:09 AM

    Not implying Weston is innocent, but his trainer ‘dragging’ him and ‘beating him to a bloody pulp’ and putting him in the hospital is not someone I would hire.

  13. frank • June 12, 2011 @ 7:38 PM

    what the ? another strange incident with the cage’s

  14. Thibz • June 13, 2011 @ 6:41 AM

    Really Jeff…Your going to pull the video game card… my kids play video games and i also parent them just fine. Its not the video games that cause the problem its bad parenting.
    I would suggest Mr. Cage may be more of a culprit to his sons behavior then XBOX..Does it look like his kid plays XBOX…Looks more like a backing musician for Mr. Mansons band. Try thinking before you speak or write your thoughts because there not well thought out. Go back under the bridge with the rest of the trolls.

  15. jeff • June 13, 2011 @ 10:54 AM

    lol clearly Thibz you don’t know how to raise kids. It was SARCASM. I feel bad your kids have you for a parent. The media ALWAYS uses video games when something bad has happend with kids. Remember Columbine? They blamed violent shooting games, rather than parenting. I dare you to look for substance in the message, but you are too stupid to do that. Average person with average thoughts. YOu probably went and saw Inception and tapped yourself on the back because you felt smart. RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT.

    Also many kids do not go out anymore. When I was a kid I went bike riding, played sports, and heck skipped rocks on lakes. A lot of today’s kids are sheltred and just play video games.

    So please why don’t you crawl back under the bridge you came from.

    hahaha Germain! thanks for keeping it fun!
    p.s. like we wouldn’t have surmised trainer was fired following this….

  17. Thibz • June 14, 2011 @ 9:38 AM

    Jeff,
    First off i suggest you mind your buisness about my parenting. And second i have two wonderful kids that lead both a healthy and active lifestyle. Unless your a parent i suggest you shut your trap and mind your thoughts when it comes to someones personal life.
    Nowhere in your comment would anyone sense sarcasm. If you had of put “:P” in your comment then maybe a sense of sarcasm might be found. Anyhow i wont be wasting my time responding to you after this. have nice day.
