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.

New details have emerged about the altercation – which took place at the 29-year-old techno producer’s Venice apartment on July 23 – and his 28-year-old ex has since posted a disturbing Instagram snap of her broken tooth
After Lawlor arrived, she reportedly checked the phone of the musician – whose DJ name is Cutter Mattock – to confirm he lied about being sober as he argued with her about past infidelity.
At 5:30pm, Sean allegedly grabbed the Pepperdine psychology student by the neck and head and threw her into an unidentified hard object, and ‘she blacked out and when she opened her eyes realized her tooth had broken.’
When Elizabeth came to she fled the apartment then Norfleet escorted her back inside, and she eventually sent photos of her injuries to his mother Jennifer Nicholson (the 88-year-old movie star’s eldest child), who called 911.
The Emerson College drop-out – who had a clean record – was arrested as Lawlor was rushed by ambulance to Marina Del Rey Hospital where she underwent oral surgery and received stitches for facial injuries.
Sean publicly goes by Sean Knight Nicholson despite Jennifer marrying his father Mark Norfleet between 1997 and 2003.
Norfleet’s 26-year-old brother Duke is following in Jack’s acting footsteps with roles in Tony Kaye’s upcoming comedy The Trainer, Jimmy Giannopoulos’ 2022 horror film Alone at Night, and Nicholas Jarecki’s 2021 thriller Crisis.

The retired Hollywood legend has two children – daughter Lorraine, 35; and son Ray, 33 – from his five-year relationship with his Man Trouble co-star Rebecca Broussard, which ended in 1994.
Rebecca’s first pregnancy was the catalyst to end of Jack’s longest romantic relationship, with Oscar winner Anjelica Huston, from 1973-1990.

The retired Hollywood legend hasn’t been publicly seen since attending SNL50: The Anniversary Special in Manhattan on February 16 alongside his 35-year-old daughter Lorraine (L, with ex Rebecca Broussard)
Nicholson has reportedly recognized 54-year-old Caleb Goddard as his son in private following an on-set fling with his Five Easy Pieces co-star Susan Anspach, who raised her son with ex-husband Mark Goddard.
The former lothario is estranged from his 31-year-old daughter Tessa Gourin with waitress Jennine Gourin as he has never publicly acknowledged the paternity.

Nicholson hasn’t graced the silver screen since portraying corporate CEO Charles Madison in James L. Brooks’ dismally-reviewed 2010 rom-com How Do You Know, which only earned $48.7M back from its $120M budget.
But the LA Lakers superfan has acted in some of the greatest films of all time including Five Easy Pieces, Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Shining, Terms of Endearment, Batman, A Few Good Men, As Good as It Gets, and About Schmidt.
Jack – who’s a California Air National Guard veteran – has certainly been decorated for his acting career – having won three Academy Awards, six Golden Globe Awards, and even a Grammy Award.
