Priscilla shared, “One afternoon, they went sailing off the coast of Catalina Island on Nick’s yacht, the Weston. Something triggered another one of their notorious fights, and Lisa took off her engagement ring and threw it at Nick.” In a fit of rage, Cage retaliated by hurling the ring into the Pacific Ocean.
“Furious, Nick tossed the ring overboard,” Priscilla recounted. Although Cage dispatched divers to search for the $65,000 ring, Priscilla expressed skepticism about its retrieval, saying, “As far as I know, the ring is still there.”
