Jake Reiner is opening up about the unimaginable family tragedy that has changed his life forever.
Eight months after his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, were found dead inside their Los Angeles home, Jake sat down for his first television interview since their deaths — and since his younger brother, Nick Reiner, was arrested and charged with their murders.
Speaking with KABC-TV, Jake, 35, offered a heartbreaking glimpse into the reality of losing both parents while simultaneously watching his brother become the central figure in the criminal case surrounding their deaths.
“It’s been eight months,” Jake said (via Page Six). “It feels like eight years at the same time. And it also feels like eight minutes.”
The eldest Reiner son recalled learning that something was terribly wrong after receiving a call from his sister, Romy.
“Romy told me our dad was dead and then she said, ‘I can’t find mom,’” he recalled.
Rob and Michele were found dead at their Brentwood home on December 14, 2025. Their deaths were determined to have resulted from multiple sharp force injuries.
Nick was arrested shortly afterward and has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder. He is currently being held without bail while awaiting further proceedings.
For Jake, however, the legal case is only one part of a much larger nightmare.
“I physically lost my parents. And then Nick was arrested. … He’s in jail,” he explained. “And now it’s me and Romy.”
Jake and Romy previously described their parents as their “best friends” in a joint statement following the killings. Jake later wrote about the devastating loss in an April essay, acknowledging the complicated reality of mourning his parents while his brother was accused of killing them.
“We lost more than half of our family that night in the most violent way imaginable,” he wrote at the time.
Jake also spoke about the unconditional love his parents had for all three of their children, including Nick, who has struggled with addiction and mental health issues for years.
He pointed specifically to the 2015 film Being Charlie, which Nick co-wrote and Rob directed, as an effort by his father to understand and connect with his son.
“My parents had unconditional love for all three of us,” Jake said. “They never stopped wanting to help him.”
Jake and Romy have not attended Nick’s court hearings, although both siblings recently testified before the grand jury that indicted him. The contents of their testimony remain unknown.
Asked about the tragedy and whether he expects to ever understand why it happened, Jake offered a devastatingly simple response.
“I’ll never understand,” he said. “I don’t care what facts come out. I will never understand why this happened.”
Nick’s next pre-trial hearing is scheduled for September 15. He faces life in prison without parole or potentially the death penalty if convicted.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

We’re proud to announce that WordPress has signed Open Weights and American AI Leadership, an open letter asking US policymakers to not place early restrictions on open weight AI models. These are artificial intelligence models that anyone can download, inspect, modify, and run on their own infrastructure. The letter was published on July 24, 2026, and more than 270 companies and organizations have added their names. Its argument will be familiar to anyone who works in open source: technology gets better and safer when more people can study it and build on it.
That belief is the foundation WordPress is built on. Anyone can run the software, look at how it works, change it to suit their needs, and share what they make. Those freedoms are why WordPress has become a foundational part of the open web and why people trust it with their work. Open weight models bring that same kind of access to AI. A model that anyone can download and adapt becomes something people can shape around their own work and improve for everyone who comes after them.
The next generation of innovation won’t come from models alone. It will come from millions of people building with them. Open weights help make that possible. WordPress is proud to support the Open Weights and American AI Leadership letter.
– WordPress Executive Director, Mary Hubbard
Requests to US Policymakers
The requests in the letter are practical ones. As signatories, we ask policymakers to expand access to computing power for startups and researchers, to invest in shared resources like public datasets and evaluation tools, and to keep more than one kind of model available rather than narrowing the field to a handful of closed systems. We also ask that common development practices, such as using one model’s output to improve another, not be treated as theft by default. Each of these requests follows the pattern that has made open source software dependable for decades, where many people test, improve, and secure the same technology in public view.
For more than 20 years, WordPress has run on the idea that the people using a technology should be free to shape it. AI is becoming part of how people publish, and open weight models are one way that freedom carries forward. Keeping them available gives the next generation of builders, the people now learning WordPress, the same starting point that open source gave everyone before them.

It’s safe to say that Bill Gates has some regrets.
While he spent much of a recent interview ostensibly warning about AI, another major topic cropped up.
Gates’ name appears in the Epstein Files. He has confirmed some accusations while denying others.
The Microsoft founder admits that it was “foolish” of him to ever interact with the dead, disgraced pedophile.
‘It just shows how foolish I was’
Bill Gates sat down for a remote interview with Anderson Cooper 360 for his first television appearance since the House Oversight Committee grilled him over his Epstein association.
When Cooper brought up the “graphic, unverified” allegations that Epstein had written — but not sent — about Gates back in 2013, the billionaire philanthropist responded.
He said that, contrary to prior reports, he does not believe that the dead predator ever actually attempted to blackmail him.
Gates pointed out that the “several hundred pages” of testimony is “complicated.”
He admitted: “I didn’t know that he was considering blackmailing me.”
“He never did blackmail me,” Gates said of Epstein.
“But, you know,’ he continued, “it just shows how foolish I was to spend time with him.”
Foolish is accurate, though it is only one of the adjectives that one might use to describe this ill-advised erstwhile association.
Gates claimed that he “really appreciated” giving full answers for the House Oversight Committee.
He added that his grilling is “all public” for anyone in the public who feels “curious.”
‘I’m very apologetic that I gave him any credibility at all’
“I went through every single meeting, every single email. I didn’t have a social relationship,” Bill Gates insisted.
He claimed: “I didn’t meet any women through him.”
Though Gates has admitted to having extramarital affairs, he has denied claims — such as the STD allegation, the plot to slip antibiotics to then-wife Melinda Gates, and more.
“I had a misguided view that he could facilitate my raising philanthropic funds for global health,” Gates explained. “It was a gigantic mistake, which I talked about in my testimony, and I’ve really learned from that.”
He emphasized: “You know, I’m very apologetic that I gave him any credibility at all.”
Who among us has not accidentally associated with one of the planet’s most notorious predators, one who had a hand or at least ties to financial devastation, the enshittification of video games, and more alongside his numerous sex crimes.
Oh, wait, that’s most of us. Though Epstein had ties to many elite figures, from ex-Prince Andrew to Donald Trump, that’s not an excuse for his associates. These individuals rubbing elbows is a huge part of the problem.
(Also, bumping into a guy at a fundraiser is very different from visiting one of his infamous properties, such as his private island.)
By the way, some have alleged that Gates’ “warnings” about AI are actually propaganda designed to make sloptech look more appealing to overly credulous investors.
It isn’t necessarily reverse psychology. But it’s unclear why Gates’ warning is “this could lead to greater inequality” and not “the powerful figures behind this wretched tech all have names and addresses and we as people and nations can stop them and hold them accountable in such a way that no one dares to repeat their mistakes for the next ten generations.”

As you’ve certainly heard by now, Dolly Parton passed away this week at the age of 80.
The country music legend was one of the most beloved public figures of her time, but it seems that in private, she struggled with doubts and anxieties that plague most people at one point or another.
In a newly resurfaced interview, Dolly candidly opened up about the emotional turmoil she experienced in the mid-1980s.
At the time, the singer was dealing with major health problems and the realization that she might never have children with her husband, Carl Dean.
Parton’s depressive episode came after she began experiencing menopause and underwent a partial hysterectomy.
The procedure left her unable to have children, something that became an enormous source of emotional pain.
Dolly also admitted that she felt guilty about putting her career ahead of motherhood. She had spent years building a remarkable career, but she couldn’t help wondering whether she had made the wrong choices.
The emotional toll became so severe that Parton described herself as suicidal.
“Then one day, I just said to myself, ‘Right, get off your fat b-tt, or if you really are suicidal, then go and shoot your brains out. But get your misery out of other people’s lives and shut up!’” she recalled (via Radar Online).
Despite everything she had accomplished, Parton admitted she sometimes imagined what life would have been like if she had become a mother.
“I think I would have made a nice mama,” she said.
Parton and Dean had tried to have children for many years. She explained that she had initially put motherhood on hold because her career was thriving and she was taking birth control pills. After eventually stopping the medication, however, she still did not become pregnant.
Over time, Parton found a way to make peace with that part of her life.
“I don’t feel sad about it,” she explained, saying she came to believe that perhaps God had another purpose for her.
Dolly ultimately devoted enormous energy to helping children through her charitable work, including her beloved Imagination Library. She came to view her relationship with children around the world as part of a larger plan.
“I thought maybe God didn’t want me to have kids so that everybody else’s kids could be mine,” she said.
Parton’s relationship with Dean remained another source of strength throughout her life. The couple married in 1966 and remained together for nearly six decades until his death in March 2025.
In a 2024 appearance on Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde podcast, Parton reflected on the secret to their long-lasting relationship.
“We never fought back and forth,” she explained, adding that either one could use humor to break the tension when things became difficult.
Dean died at 82. Seventeen months later, Parton died at 80 following a brief battle with cancer.
Her private struggles serve as another reminder that even the brightest public personas can conceal profound pain.
