- A judge has ruled against Nicolas Cage's daughter-in-law, Hila Cage Coppola, in her attempt to serve the actor with a cross-complaint via a newspaper notice.
- Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Huey P. Cotton revoked an earlier order that allowed Hila to serve Cage by publication, subsequently dismissing Cage's motion to quash as moot.
- The decision leaves Hila without court approval to serve her lawsuit through publication, as Cage's attorneys argued she knew his Nevada residence and had not made sufficient efforts for personal service.
- Hila's cross-complaint, filed in February 2024, seeks damages for defamation, malicious prosecution, and intentional infliction of emotional distress against Nicolas Cage, his son Weston Coppola, and Weston's mother, Christina Fulton.
- She alleges Cage and Fulton interfered in her marriage to Weston and launched a retaliatory media campaign after her divorce filing, aiming to damage her reputation.
