Jack Nicholson’s oldest grandchild, Sean Norfleet, is facing serious allegations after reportedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Elizabeth Lawlor, leaving her unconscious and with a broken tooth, prior to his arrest on August 5th for domestic violence.
Recent reports detail the incident, which occurred at the 29-year-old techno producer’s home in Venice on July 23. Following the altercation, his 28-year-old ex has shared a distressing Instagram photo of her broken tooth, with the caption: ‘This summer gave me PTSD.’
Sean was released after posting a $50K bond and now faces up to four years in state prison if convicted on the felony charges of corporal injury on a spouse/cohabitant and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon using his ‘hands, feet, and teeth.’
Daily Mail has reached out for comment from Nicholson, Lawlor, and Norfleet – who’s next scheduled to appear in court on August 26 – but have not yet heard back.
In the police report obtained by People, Elizabeth said she dated Sean on/off between 2023-2024 and claimed he lured her to his apartment by saying he’d ‘taken a full bottle of Valium and threatened to kill himself if she didn’t come to see him.’
Elizabeth alleged that Norfleet was ‘schizophrenic’ and ‘has a history of mixing prescription medication with illicit substances,’ but he claimed he was fresh out of rehab and wanted to reconnect as friends.
