As we discussed last week, bizarrely, Nicolas Cage got married and then within days, he filed for an annulment. His new bride is Erika Koike, a makeup artist he was apparently dating for about a year. They apparently got drunk in Las Vegas and while sh-tfaced, they decided to get hitched. Now that they’ve sobered up, they realize it was a huge mistake:

Nicolas Cage claims, in a request for annulment, he was too drunk to make a responsible decision when his new wife suggested they get married. According to Cage’s annulment documents, obtained by The Blast, the “Leaving Las Vegas” star admits he and Erika Koike were “both drinking to the point of intoxication” before participating in a wedding ceremony.

He says he “lacked understanding” of his actions and was therefore incapable of agreeing to a marriage with the makeup artist. Cage now understands he “reacted on impulse without the ability to recognize or understand the full impact of his actions.”

In his request to get the marriage wiped from the record books, Cage also reveals that his wife did not tell him about “the full nature and extent of her relationship with another person,” and believes fraud was committed. Further, he says Koike has an active criminal history that he didn’t know about. We did some digging, and Koike was actually busted for DUI last year in Las Vegas. She pled not guilty to the charge last week, and is due back in court in June.

Since learning about the alleged fraud, Cage says he kicked Koike out of his house, and “made arrangements” for her to stay somewhere else.

Just to get this straight, Erika was living with him AND she was seeing someone else AND she had a DUI last year AND they were both drunk as skunks when they got married. I agree, an annulment is in order. They’ll probably get one too, because according to the Blast, Erika isn’t going to fight him on the annulment filing – she apparently believes the whole thing was some big Friends-esque-plotline mistake. From what I understand, an annulment would completely wipe out the wedding/marriage from the books, so we can’t even call Erika his “fourth wife” now or his estranged wife. Also: while I’m glad that they seem to be in agreement on the annulment, I also think it’s a huge red flag that a 55-year-old man got drunk and eloped with his girlfriend and then asked for an annulment. Granted, almost everything about Nick Cage is a red flag at this point.
