TMZ Documentary Alleges Medication Switch Preceded Nick Reiner’s Decline as He Awaits Arraignment in Parents’ Killings

A new TMZ documentary reports a recent psychiatric medication switch after weight‑gain complaints preceded his reported break from reality.

Overview

  • Nick Reiner remains jailed without bail in high‑observation custody on two first‑degree murder charges in the stabbing deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner.
  • The film cites sources who say he was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in 2020 and that a medication change about a month before the slayings followed weight‑gain complaints.
  • Sources claim doctors did not seek a temporary psychiatric hold as his condition worsened and his behavior reportedly became erratic and dangerous.
  • TMZ producers say he acknowledges killing his parents yet believes his incarceration is a conspiracy and appears delusional in jail.
  • The case has shifted to a public defender after his private attorney withdrew, and court proceedings have been delayed as the prosecution and defense prepare.
