LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The country is in shock after the murders of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. The situation became even more chaotic when reports said their own son, Nick, was involved.

New details have emerged that Nick was not invited to Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party on Saturday, December 13.

According to Hollywood Reporter, Rob and Michele did not want their son to be left alone at their Brentwood home in Los Angeles, where he was currently living under their 'watchful supervision.' For this concern, they asked the host if Nick could accompany them to the holiday gathering.

The Hollywood Reporter reported that Rob and Michele Singer Reiner spoke with the host about their son attending the Christmas party. The outlet said Nick Reiner’s “often … extreme and stressful behavior” had worsened.

It added that the situation had become “even more concerning in recent weeks” and because of this behavior, the couple wanted to tag along. As per the publication, Nick was reportedly staying there under “watchful supervision.”

At the party, he allegedly made several guests uncomfortable. He was said to ask people their first name, last name, and whether they were famous. This reportedly led to an awkward interaction with Bill Hader.

After that moment, he allegedly “stormed off.” The report claimed Rob later confronted his son about his “asocial and unsettling behavior.” The filmmaker then apologized to O’Brien and left the party early with his wife.

The next day, both the husband and wife were found dead at their home, and their son was later arrested. Rob’s friend Barry Markowitz told Page Six that Nick Reiner seemed to be “on the upswing” the last time they met.
