Jack Nicholson's grandson, Sean Knight Nicholson, has found himself entangled in a domestic violence scandal, leading to his arrest. On Tuesday, August 5, the 29-year-old was booked in Los Angeles on a felony charge, according to police records accessed by Us Weekly. He was subsequently released that very day after posting a $50,000 bail.
Sean is scheduled to face the music in court on August 26 of this month. The Sun reported on August 7 that Sean stands accused of assaulting a woman, prompting his arrest for domestic violence. Attempts by Us Weekly to reach out to Jack Nicholson and the Los Angeles Police Department for comment have been made.
Sean, the eldest grandson of Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson, hails from the union of Jennifer Nicholson and Mark Norfleet, who were married from 1997 to 2003. The couple also shares another son, Duke.
Sean is not just any ordinary young man; he is a music producer with a niche in horror composition, experimental club music, hardcore, dark ambient, and phonk genres, as revealed on his Instagram page. He also doubles as a DJ, performing under the moniker Cutter Mattock.
At 88, Jack Nicholson is a proud father of six children from five different women. His only marriage was to ex-wife Sandra Knight, from 1962 to 1968, during which they welcomed their daughter Jennifer in September 1963.
Following his divorce from Knight, rumors swirled that Jack had a brief affair with his Five Easy Pieces costar Susan Anspach, resulting in the birth of his second child, Caleb Goddard, although he has never publicly acknowledged Caleb as his son.
Jack's romantic life continued with a five-year relationship with model Winnie Hollman, who gave birth to their daughter Honey Hollman in 1982. Honey, now a mother of three – Walter, 14, Hank, 8, and Daisy, 13 – has carved her own niche in life.
One of Jack's most high-profile relationships was with actress Rebecca Broussard, who entered his life amid his 17-year romance with Anjelica Huston. Their union bore fruit in 1990 with the arrival of their daughter Lorraine Nicholson. Two years later, Jack and Broussard welcomed their son Ray Nicholson into the world. However, their relationship came to an end in 1993.
In a surprising twist in 2023, Tessa Gourin, whose mother is waitress Jennine Gourin, claimed in an interview that Jack is her biological father. The actor has remained tight-lipped about the paternity claims.
While Jack continues to reign as an A-list movie star, he has increasingly shied away from the limelight in recent years. The actor appears to have retired from the silver screen, having not featured in a film since 2010's How Do You Know. A rare public appearance this year came at the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special, where he walked the red carpet alongside his daughter Lorraine.
