"The medical staff warned Rob and Michele not to let Nick live at home until he got his medication straightened out, a source told Us Weekly in this week's cover story. In addition to battling substance abuse since his teenage years, Nick, who was staying in his parents' guest house at the time of the killings, was in a mental health conservatorship from 2020 to 2021."
"Two sources with direct knowledge told TMZ in the days after the killings that doctors were trying to stabilize Nick, who had grown erratic and dangerous following a change in medication. It's unclear why Nick's medication was changed. While Us Weekly's source says his medications weren't working anymore, TMZ reported in January that Nick was stable the month prior to the murders, but had gained weight from that medication."
"The night before the Reiners were killed, Nick attended Conan O'Brien's holiday party with his parents, where he was reportedly freaking everyone out [and] acting crazy and even got into a very loud argument with the filmmaker. If convicted, Nick faces life in prison without the possibility of parole."
Rob and Michele Reiner were cautioned by medical staff not to allow their 32-year-old son Nick to reside in their home until he stabilized his medication. Nick had struggled with substance abuse since adolescence and was previously under mental health conservatorship from 2020 to 2021, with diagnoses of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. A medication change intended to address weight gain reportedly triggered erratic and dangerous behavior. Nick was staying in his parents' guest house when he allegedly killed them on December 14. He pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and faces potential life imprisonment without parole or the death penalty.
