Jack Nicholson’s eldest grandson, Sean Knight Nicholson, has been arrested in Los Angeles for alleged domestic violence. The 29-year-old music producer and DJ, who performs under the name Cutter Mattock, was taken into custody on Tuesday, August 5, and booked on felony charges. He was later released the same day after posting $50,000 bail.
According to reports, Sean is accused of assaulting a woman. He is expected to appear in court later this month on August 26. The Los Angeles Police Department has not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident, and Nicholson's team has not commented publicly.
Sean is the son of Jennifer Nicholson, Jack’s daughter from his marriage to actress Sandra Knight. Jennifer and her ex-husband Mark Norfleet share two sons, Sean and Duke. While Jack Nicholson has kept a relatively private profile in recent years, this legal situation has brought renewed attention to his family.
Sean’s professional career centres around music, with a focus on horror-inspired composition and underground genres such as phonk, experimental club, and dark ambient. He has also built a following online as a DJ with a distinctive aesthetic and sound.
News of the arrest has prompted discussion across social media, particularly as many were unaware of Sean’s connection to the legendary actor. Some users expressed concern for the alleged victim, while others questioned whether the high-profile family link could impact the legal process.
Jack Nicholson, now 88, is known for keeping a distance from the spotlight, but the incident has sparked fresh media interest in his children and grandchildren. For now, the case remains under investigation, and all eyes will be on the upcoming court hearing.
