Nick Reiner Involved In ‘Extremely Hostile’ Incident In Jail Shower: Reports

After being locked up on charges related to the double homicide of his parents, Nick Reiner continues to make headlines from behind bars.

Most recently, reports indicate he was disciplined by correctional offials following an incident during which he became confrontational with guards.

According to Page Six:

Nick Reiner was reportedly disciplined in jail after he allegedly became “extremely hostile” toward deputies while waiting to be escorted back to his cell following a shower.

“He was recalcitrant, extremely hostile, creating a verbal disturbance, refusing to follow rules and not listening to any commands,” a source told People Wednesday. 

“He was yelling, screaming, being disrespectful and shouting many profanities.”

Reiner was arrested on suspicion of killing his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner, late last year. 

News of his latest run-in with authorities sparked some additional social media discussion:

The New York Post recently provided this post-incarceration update:

“Nick no longer looks like Nick. He is rapidly deteriorating. No one would recognize him,” an insider close to the family told the Daily Mail.

“He is almost bald because they have to keep his hair super short to keep the bugs out, and he is super skinny because of the intense medication he is on. His eyes are very sunken in.”

According to the insider, Nick is also psychologically deteriorating as he remains in solitary confinement.

“Nick has not been well for many years. But before jail some of his personality could be recognized. Not now,” the source claimed.

“He is like a babbling child, totally out of it. It’s so bad his lawyers have a hard time talking to him.”

The 32-year-old’s siblings — Jake Reiner, 35, and Romy Reiner, 28 — are also allegedly concerned “that he will never be sane again and that he could possibly die as his heart could weaken from the constant strain.”
