Rob Reiner’s son Nick attended Conan O’Brien’s party as parents were 'reluctant' to leave him alone

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.

Why did Nick Reiner attend Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party?

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.

How did Rob and Michele Singer Reiner die? 

Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, 70, were found dead in their home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles on Sunday, December 14.

Authorities determined that both had suffered “multiple sharp force injuries,” and the deaths were officially ruled homicide by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.

Their 32-year-old son, Nick, was arrested later that evening and has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the killings. Prosecutors added special circumstances, including the use of a deadly weapon, meaning he could face life in prison or the death penalty if convicted.
