Rob Reiner's Son's Past Continues To Unravel Amid Shock Double Homicide

As the world grieves the loss of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, concerning facts about their suspected killer continue to leave many stunned.

The legendary film producer and director took his final breath over the weekend after his lifeless body, alongside that of his wife, was found in their Los Angeles home on December 14.

The suspected killer is none other than the couple's troubled son, Nick Reiner. Rob Reiner welcomed three children with Michele Singer Reiner, sons Jake and Nick, and a daughter named Romy. He also adopted the daughter of his ex-wife, Penny Marshall.

Following Nick's detainment in a Los Angeles jail cell on suspicion of murdering his famous parents, details about his past have come to light. One of the latest updates is a 2017 interview where the film producer's son recounted his first sexual experience.

While speaking on the Dopey podcast, a show featuring "candid tales of addiction, recovery, and humor," Nick revealed that he lost his virginity at 14 to a sex worker. He claimed a kid he met at outpatient rehab told him how to get a sex worker on Craigslist.

While searching different profiles, he was drawn to a shot of a woman's backside, who offered $200 for her services. Nick recalled not having that kind of money on him and being too uncomfortable with asking his parents for it, so he opted for stealing it.

According to Nick, his brief but highly satisfying experience with the sex worker sparked the development of his addictive side. The Blast recently shared that a 2016 interview resurfaced, capturing the suspected killer's reflection on his dark history of addiction.

Nick cycled in and out of rehab during his teenage years as he battled heroin addiction and often found himself living on the streets. "I was homeless in Maine. I was homeless in New Jersey. I was homeless in Texas," he revealed in the 2016 interview.

He claimed that he sometimes spent weeks on the streets, but credited the hardships for shaping his life. Nick explained that he met "crazy great people" while homeless, and the time he spent isolated from his family helped him overcome his addiction.

After Nick achieved sobriety in 2015, he and his father collaborated on the semi-autobiographical film "Being Charlie." Nick's experiences inspired the movie about addiction and recovery, and he was credited as a co-writer on the emotional project.

On the other hand, Rob directed the film, which followed the life of a successful actor with political ambitions and his son, who battled with drug addiction. The script also included real-life exchanges between Rob and Nick, including the haunting line, "I'd rather you hate me, and you be alive."

The movie wasn't the only way Rob supported his son, as a resurfaced clip of a past interview saw the late director defending Nick. The Blast reported that the father and son had made a joint appearance on the "2 Chairs and A Microphone" podcast.

During their joint podcast appearance, Rob reflected on Nick's battle with addiction and how he struggled with the noise that came with fame. He defended his troubled son from critics, stressing that it wasn't easy having a famous father and grandfather.

"People can say what they want, but they don't know what he's going through, what he's experiencing, or why he's done what he does. It's pretty dumb, pretty ignorant," Rob argued. He added that it was challenging for Nick to navigate life in the spotlight.

When asked how he managed to avoid addiction or negative media as the son of a famous entertainer, Rob claimed he handled his father's fame by avoiding the noise. Nick also complained that it was hard to seek help when people would always judge him as "a spoiled white rich kid."

As the world grieves the tragic deaths of Rob and his wife, not everyone has been sympathetic. The Blast shared that Donald Trump sparked backlash after dropping an insensitive post about the late couple's passing.

The former First Lady of California, Maria Shriver, immediately called out the president on X for his lack of sympathy. She noted that she typically liked to rise above the noise; however, she could not stay silent while he dragged the names of her good pals into the mud.

"This individual has no human decency. This goes beyond. It's absolutely disgusting," Shriver penned. She claimed the public should be "horrified and disgusted" by Trump's inhumane behavior before defending Rob and Michele as the kindest and loving people she had ever known.
