The Los Angeles Police Department said Nick Reiner, 32, is being held in jail on $4 million bail after the bodies of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were found in their home

A son of the celebrated Hollywood director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner has been booked on suspicion of murder in the stabbing deaths of his parents, the police said on Monday.

The Los Angeles police chief, Jim McDonnell, said that the son, Nick Reiner, 32, was “booked for murder” and was being held on $4 million bail. No information about criminal charges was immediately available.

A son of the celebrated Hollywood director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner has been booked on suspicion of murder in the stabbing deaths of his parents, the police said on Monday.

The Los Angeles police chief, Jim McDonnell, said that the son, Nick Reiner, 32, was “booked for murder” and was being held on $4 million bail. No information about criminal charges was immediately available.

Although there is no evidence that the stabbing deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were at all connected to his Democratic politics, President Trump seized on their deaths to attack the Hollywood couple, suggesting that their criticism of him may have led to the killings.

The president wrote on Truth Social that the couple’s deaths were “reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.”

Trump’s post led to immediate outrage, even from some fellow Republicans. “Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered,” Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, wrote on social media. “I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid? I challenge anyone to defend it.”

Nick Reiner talked openly about his struggles.

Nick Reiner, 32, a son of the Hollywood director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, has spoken over the years about his struggles with drug abuse and bouts of homelessness.

“When I was out there, I could’ve died,” he told People magazine in 2016, speaking about being homeless. “It’s all luck. You roll the dice and you hope you make it.”

Nick Reiner was arrested late Sunday after his parents were found dead at their California home. The Los Angeles police chief, Jim McDonnell, said on Monday that he had been “booked for murder” and was being held on $4 million bail.

Nick and Rob Reiner had worked together on a movie, “Being Charlie,” that was loosely inspired by the younger Mr. Reiner’s early life. Rob Reiner directed, and Nick Reiner wrote the screenplay alongside Matt Elisofon, whom he met in rehab.

The movie’s release in 2015 signaled a victory lap of sorts for Nick Reiner, who had been in and out of rehab and experienced homelessness since he was about 15. On Monday, he was being held in a jail in Los Angeles County on $4 million bail; no information about any criminal charges was immediately available.

“Being Charlie” follows the entitled, drug-addicted son of a high-profile actor turned political candidate in California. Although it was not autobiographical, Rob Reiner said the experience did a great deal to strengthen his relationship with his son.

“It forced me to have to see more clearly, and understand more deeply, what Nick had gone through,” he said in a joint interview with his son on BUILD, YouTube’s live interview series, in 2016. “And, I think it forced him to see things that I had experienced during this process.”

“It definitely brought us closer together,” Mr. Reiner said. He and Michele Reiner had two other children together: a son, Jake, and a daughter, Romy.

In the interview, Nick Reiner spoke of his childhood relationship with his father. “We didn’t bond a lot,” he said, adding that working on the film with his father had made him “feel closer to him.”

At the time the film was released, Nick Reiner said he had been back home in Los Angeles and was staying clean.

“Now, I’ve been home for a really long time, and I’ve sort of gotten acclimated back to being in L.A. and being around my family,” he told People. “But there was a lot of dark years there.”

Rob Reiner had expressed hope that he would work with his son again. Nick Reiner has not compiled any further screenwriting credits.

“Anytime I would get an opportunity to work with him I would do it, but I do understand him wanting to forge his own way,” the director said of his son in a 2016 interview with NPR. “I do know what that’s about, I went through it, and he’s brilliant and talented and he’s going to figure out his path.”

Nick Reiner’s most recent public appearance alongside his father was in September, when the director was photographed with his familyon the red carpet for the premiere of “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.”

🚨BREAKING TONIGHT: Trump Could Be REMOVED — John Mearsheimer Warns “This Is the End”। An emergency session of Congress has just been called, and Washington is on edge. This isn’t politics anymore. It’s a constitutional crisis with global consequences. Three weeks ago, Donald Trump rerouted $47 billion in congressionally approved funds without permission, defying Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution. When Congress objected, he shut down the government. Federal workers unpaid. Essential services frozen. Then came the bombshell. A federal judge ruled Trump’s actions a flagrant violation of the Constitution. Instead of complying, Trump attacked the court and claimed he was above judicial authority. That’s the moment markets panicked—because markets run on rule of law, not loyalty to power. Now Republicans are split. Defend Trump, or defend the Constitution. Even party leadership is breaking away. Congress isn’t just debating a shutdown anymore—it’s debating removal from office. If presidents can ignore Congress and courts, democracy collapses. And when institutions collapse, capital flees. The question before America is simple—and historic: Is the Constitution still the highest authority? Or is the president?

🚨 IMPEACHMENT EARTHQUAKE: Trump’s Second Term ROCKED as a Stunning Ruling Triggers a Seven-Count Showdown That Could End His Presidency “Mr. Speaker, this is the moment America was warned about. Just months after claiming re-election victory, Donald Trump is now staring down SEVEN explosive articles of impeachment — not one, not two, but seven separate charges Democrats say amount to the gravest abuse of presidential power in modern U.S. history. This isn’t political noise. This is a constitutional firestorm. At the center of the storm: unauthorized military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, allegedly ordered without congressional approval — a move critics say shatters the Constitution’s war powers and drags the nation into conflict by executive force alone. Then comes obstruction of justice. Federal judges reportedly found probable cause that Trump officials defied court orders on deportations. Ignoring the judiciary isn’t a policy dispute — it’s the system breaking in real time. Add to that bribery, corruption, and even “tyranny” — a word the Founders reserved for leaders who rule like kings, not presidents. But here’s what makes this moment truly volatile 👇 This is happening after re-election. No honeymoon. No grace period. Any claim of a public mandate collapses when impeachment lands this fast. And behind closed doors, even Republicans are reportedly whispering the unthinkable: removal may be unavoidable. This isn’t just history unfolding — it’s power being tested. 👉 Read till the end to see what insiders say could happen next — and why Washington is bracing for a showdown that could change everything.
