Nick Reiner made his first court appearance since the gruesome murder of his parents.
Despite being medically unable to visit court on Tuesday, he and his defense attorney have now made the trip.
Eyewitnesses described the 32-year-old as disheveled and somber.
His siblings released a difficult statement.
Nick Reiner finally made it to court
On Wednesday, December 17, Nick Reiner appeared in court.
This was his first time inside a courtroom following Sunday’s horrifying discovery of the violent death of Rob and Michele Reiner, his parents.
Authorities located and arrested him within hours of the discovery.
His sister, Romy, discovered her parents’ bodies and was apparently the first to admit to offers that her own brother might be a person of interest.
Nick is facing two charges of first-degree murder.
In addition to his first visit to Los Angeles Municipal Court since his parents’ gruesome killing, this was also Nick’s first public appearance since his arrest on Sunday.
Page Six reports that the 32-year-old appeared with disheveled hair.
In terms of demeanor, he appeared stoic and even somber during the hearing, looking straight ahead and no attempting to make eye contact with anyone else in the courtroom.
Authorities had him in shackles on his hands and feet, and in an anti-self-harm smock.
Nick was also wearing his glasses.
Attorney Alan Jackson addressed reporters
Prior to the hearing, Nick Reiner secured the legal services of high-profile defense attorney Alan Jackson.
In addition to understanding the legal process, Jackson is familiar with the media circus surrounding such prosecutions.
The attorney addressed reporters outside of the courthouse.
He informed everyone that his client’s arraignment will take place on January 7, 2026.
That is next year — but also in just a few weeks. There are no court dates for Nick between now and the arraignment.
As is his job, Jackson asked everyone to avoid jumping to conclusions about his client or the horrific deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner.
He instead emphasized that this is an unthinkable tragedy for the family.
Nick’s older brother, 34-year-old Jake, and his younger sister, 28-year-old Romy, released a statement.
In the statement, they asked for privacy, expressed their pain and loss.
The siblings did not directly mention Nick at all.
Jake and Romy Reiner have a painful path ahead, no matter what
Originally, Nick Reiner would have made his first courtroom appearance on Tuesday, December 16.
(He is, as we have previously reported, being held on remand — without bail. There is reportedly a suicide watch in place)
If convicted, Nick could face life in prison without the possibility of parole. He could also potentially face the death penalty.
The LA County District Attorney’s Office shared that they will take the “thoughts and desires of the family into consideration” when determining which sentence to seek at trial.
This is going to be a painful process for the Reiners no matter what. It already is. They are living their worst nightmare.

We have an update on the heinous murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele.
As you very likely know by now, the famous director and his long-time spouse were found dead in their Brentwood, California home this past Sunday afternoon.
The couple’s son, Nick Reiner, has been charged with double murder in the first degree appeared on Wednesday in court for the first time… looking disheveled and confused.
Thanks to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office, meanwhile, we can now officially report that the Reiners died via multiple sharp force injuries.
The manner of death was ruled a homicide.
Previously, the this same office said Rob and Michele were stabbed to death in their Los Angeles residence during the early morning hours of Sunday, December 14.
Nick Reiner was then arrested near the University of Southern California several hours after his parents’ bodies were found, authorities have confirmed.
Nick — who is being represented by lawyer Alan Jackson and who is said to have “personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife” in the killings — has not yet entered a plea.
According to various outlets, he got into a heated exchange with his father at a party just one day before the crime was committed.
In the wake of this unimaginable tragedy, Rob and Michele’s loved ones — which includes children Jake Reiner, 34, and Romy Reiner, 27 — said a few hours ago:
“Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day.
“The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience. They weren’t just our parents; they were our best friends.
“We are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness, and support we have received not only from family and friends but people from all walks of life.
“We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave.”
Rob Reiner was a director, producer and actor known for helming many iconic projects, including his directorial debut, This Is Spinal Tap (1984), along with Stand by Me (1986), The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally… (1989), Misery (1990) and A Few Good Men (1992).
In 2015, Rob and his son collaborated on the film Being Charlie, which the latter co-wrote and stated was inspired by his own real-life experiences with drug addiction.
May Rob and Michele Reiner rest in peace.

The twelfth season of Vanderpump Rules premiered on Bravo earlier this month.
And if you weren’t aware the show still existed — well, you’re not alone.
Yes, either Bravo’s marketing department really dropped the ball, or interest in the all-new Vanderpump cast is much, much lower than expected.
Whatever the case, the rebooted series premiered to shockingly low ratings.
And after just three episodes, there’s already talk that the show will not be renewed for Season 13.
‘Vanderpump’ premiere received lowest ratings in franchise history
According to a new report from Star magazine, the show’s December 2 season premiere drew in just 290,000 viewers, making it the least-watched episode in Vanderpump history.
The situation got even worse the following week, when Vanderpump Season 12 Episode 2 dropped to fewer than a quarter million viewers.
The numbers for the third episode, which aired on Tuesday night, aren’t in yet — but barring a Christmas miracle, they’re probably not gonna be anything to raise your glass about.
At this point, the show is such an unmitigated disaster that it might not be permitted to finish out the season, even though the whole thing has already been filmed.
“The numbers for premiere week ratings are still coming in,” an insider told Star, adding, “And it’s still early, but based on early numbers, the lack of audience reaction, engagement, and overall interest, it’s likely at this point that the reboot will not come back.”
A second source offered an unconvincing rebuttal, noting that executive producer (and sole returning cast member) Lisa Vanderpump has been “very generous with her time promoting this show.”
(Frankly, that sounds like a Bravo insider’s way of paying a compliment to Lisa as a means of side-stepping the ratings issue.)
A third source says that the show has even bigger problems than its ratings, as Bravo execs believe that it’s simply not up to the network’s usual standards of quality.
“Bravo execs are struggling with the reboot. First of all, they don’t find the show to be as good, that’s the biggest issue,” that informant tells the US Sun.
For her part, Lisa has already been quick to dismiss the concerns about the show’s cancellation.
“Screw the naysayers!” Lisa told Page Six this week at her Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala in Beverly Hills.
“I’m very excited about the new cast. Hopefully this time next year they’ll be a pain in my ass, because that’s when you know the show’s a success!”
Needless to say, unlikely that the show will still exist this time next year. But its namesake restaurateur appears unconcerned.
Of course, Lisa is independently wealthy and has already starred in and/or produced multiple successful reality shows (to say nothing of the many restaurants she’s opened).
The young cast of the rebooted Vanderpump Rules might not be so quick to shrug this situation off.

Lane V. Rogers, known professionally as Blake Mitchell, has tragically died.
The 31-year-old adult performer had a massive audience.
His friends and loved ones are reacting with disbelief and heartbreak to these reports.
Fans are taking to social media to pay their respects.
Friends and fans are mourning Lane V Rogers (Blake Mitchell)
Born in 1994, Lane V Rogers — known in the adult entertainment world as Blake Mitchell — grew up in Versailles, Kentucky.
In his 20s, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his career.
In the years since, he has accrued thousands of fans and OnlyFans subscribers
His athletic body and physical attributes helped him to stand out in the industry.
So, too, did his charisma and winning smile.
Rogers was openly and proudly bisexual — something that helped him stand out in an old-fashioned industry that often still expects male performers to either be gay or “gay for pay.”
(That is, thanks in no small part to performers like Rogers, slowly changing, with more out-and-proud bi male porn stars)
Many fans admired Rogers for his forthright social media posts. He would honestly and earnestly explain aspects of the industry.
(Sometimes, fans are confused about why their favorite performers never “collab.” Rogers was one of those who walked people through the process for those outside of the industry)
Not for nothing, but Rogers was also incredibly handsome, and often wore glasses — even if he didn’t have another stitch of clothing on his body. There was, and is, a real market for nearsighted kings.
What was Blake Mitchell’s cause of death?
There are competing reports about the tragic death of Blake Mitchell.
His friends and fans both hope to have clearer answers in the near future.
(We first learned of Lane Rogers’ passing through social media posts by adult performers Noahwaybabes and Silas Brooks, both of whom reacted with shock and sorrow)
However, from the limited information available, it soon became apparent that he had passed away due to a motorcycle crash in or around the Los Angeles area.
Even with the investigation underway, we do have a little more information as of early Wednesday afternoon.
On Wednesday afternoon, TMZ reported the specifics: that Lane Rogers had been driving his motorcycle in the vicinity of Oxnard, California just before 4 PM on Monday, December 15.
He and a box truck collided.
The report details that emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.
TMZ adds that the truck driver remained at the scene and spoke to investigators.
As of yet, there is no evidence of other causes behind the accident. The Ventura County Medical Examiner says that Rogers’ cause of death was blunt force trauma.
People are still finding out about this senseless tragedy
Obviously, fans will always have the hundreds of hours of Blake Mitchell’s first-rate performances by which to remember him. That is always a factor in a sex worker’s tragic passing.
But his friends knew Lane V Rogers as a whole person, seeing him beyond his OnlyFans stardom.
He was a tireless LGBTQ+ advocate. His posts make it clear that he was an animal lover.
And, judging from social media tributes, he was an amazing friend.
Our hearts go out to all of his loved ones at this time.
