Family Worried About More Medical Details Becoming Public
Nick Reiner’s family is said to be very concerned that more of his private medical information could become public in the coming days. Nick, who has been in custody since his arrest last December, is accused of murdering his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Some details about his mental health, including claims that he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, have already surfaced and are now part of the public conversation around the case.
Nick has not yet entered a plea. After his high-profile attorney suddenly withdrew, he is currently being represented by a public defender.
Family Tried to Keep His Medical History Private
According to people close to the family, they spent years working to keep Nick’s medical history out of the public eye. A source told Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop that protecting Nick was always their top priority.
“They’ve worked so hard to keep these issues private — no one knew about them,” the source said.
Another insider stressed how painful the situation has become for everyone involved.
“This is not just a legal case — it’s a family tragedy,” the source shared. “They’re terrified of what happens if everything becomes public, and of the toll it will take on everyone who loved Rob, Michele, and Nick.”
Mental Health Struggles Revealed After the Deaths
Since the deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner, more information about Nick’s past has come out. Reports say that by age 22, he had been in and out of rehab nearly 18 times. Other reports revealed that he was placed under a one-year mental health conservatorship in 2022.
It has also been reported that Nick was diagnosed with schizophrenia several years ago and was receiving treatment. Sources claim that a change in medication may have caused his behavior to become more unstable in the days leading up to the alleged murders, adding another painful layer to an already devastating situation.
