Inside the decision that left Nick Reiner without help from his family

The Reiner family has reached a breaking point. Following the legendary director’s shocking murders Rob Reiner and his wife Michele ReinerAccording to inside sources, the family has made a painful but decisive decision, which shows how deep the rift is.

With Nick Reiner Now facing the most serious charges imaginable, those close to him have drawn a hard line, cutting off all financial and emotional support as the court case moves forward.

The rest of Nick Reiner’s family has taken a strong stance on his future, with siblings Jake and Romy Reiner agreeing to stop funding his legal defense.

According to sources, the decision was taken jointly and supported by the extended family members after careful deliberations.

An insider told the Daily Mail that the family has reached its limits by saying: “[Nick] did it himself, he can assume the consequences himself.

The source added that Rob and Michele have long provided generously for their children, noting, “Rob and Michele have always been generous with their money to their children. So he has always had money and should have some in his account.”

Despite this history, Jake and Romy are said to be “disgusted” by what their brother is accused of and believe that continuing to pay for his defense would cross a moral line they are not willing to cross.

The family’s decision came to light after attorney Alan Jackson officially withdrew from his representation of Nick Reiner during a recent court hearing.

Jackson cited “circumstances beyond” his and Nick’s control, but stressed that he still believed his former client was not guilty.

With Jackson’s departure, Nick’s case will now be handled by the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office.

The veteran lawyer, whose resume includes Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and Karen Read, did not provide further details about his departure.

Family sources say Jackson was arrested quickly after Nick’s arrest, at the recommendation of Reiner’s family’s lawyers.

However, with the siblings no longer willing to shoulder the mounting legal costs, continuing to use a private attorney was no longer an option.

Sources say the siblings felt immense pain over their decision, as turning away from a loved one goes against everything the Reiners stand for.

“It’s not like the Reiners or their loved ones to turn their backs on a family member or loved one. But this is different,” explained a source.

Another source put the reaction within the family in harsh terms, noting: “He is accused of kidnapping their parents, should he now take their inheritance so he can free himself from the consequences? That’s everyone’s reaction.”

“It’s incomprehensible. The disgust over Nick’s alleged vile act is felt by everyone, and the desire to spend millions on his defense just isn’t there,” the source added.

Although painful, Jake and Romy reportedly concluded that distancing themselves from Nick was necessary for their own well-being.

Close family friends say Rob and Michele did everything they could to help their second son. Nick Reiner has reportedly been to rehab at least 18 times since he was 15.

Open about his struggles with addiction, he has been described as increasingly unstable in recent years.

Sources said the 33-year-old, while under the influence of methamphetamine and suffering days without sleep, was known for violent outbursts, including breaking furniture and punching walls.

He was branded a “ticking time bomb” as his parents grew increasingly desperate.

According to a report, Nick suffered from worsening schizophrenia and became “erratic and dangerous” after doctors recently changed his psychiatric medications weeks before the alleged murders.

Despite years of intervention, those close to the family say Rob and Michele had reached a point where they wanted him out of their home, even though they feared they would never find the help that would truly tame Nick’s addiction.
