One of four Reiner siblings, Nick has been vocal about his experiences with addiction treatment and rehabilitation since starting when he was 15. In 2015, Rob and Nick Reiner teamed up to make the film Being Charlie, which Nick co-wrote and Rob directed. Inspired by Nick’s experiences, the film follows the story of an addicted son of a would-be governor, who “goes down the long, rough road of rehab, fighting against recovery every inch of the way,” according to its IMDb description.
In a May 4, 2016, appearance on NBC’s TODAY show, Rob Reiner admitted, “[W]hat I didn’t understand was the depth of what he was going through,” adding, “And the process of making this film not only forced me to see what he was experiencing, but it forced him to see what I went through and what his mother went through, and hopefully the film was a reflection of that.”
As reported by the Guardian, Nick did not enter a plea in his first appearance in court Wednesday and has now been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele. The charges came two days after they were found dead in their Brentwood home. It was the Reiners’ daughter, Romy, who discovered her father’s body after receiving a call from a massage therapist, who was unable to enter the house for a scheduled appointment.
According to the New York Times, Romy “fled the house in anguish” before emergency responders found Michele Reiner’s body in the home. The couple’s other children have said they are experiencing “unimaginable pain” over their tragic loss.
