Nick Reiner did NOT get booted from his parents' house the night before Rob and Michele Reiner were murdered in the Brentwood home where they lived with their son ... TMZ has learned.

There has been speculation online Rob kicked Nick out of the house Saturday night after returning from Conan O'Brien's Christmas party.

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ, Nick left on his own accord. We do not know the circumstances under which Nick decided to leave. TMZ broke the story he and Rob got into a heated argument at Conan's party ... but it’s unclear if the exchange continued back at the Reiner residence.

Our sources confirm … Nick was not mentally sound in the period of time leading up to the murders. A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ … Nick's mental instability went beyond consuming illegal substances. We're told prescription drugs "messed with his head."

Kristin Cabot -- one half of the couple who went viral on social media this summer when they were caught getting cozy at a Coldplay concert -- has confirmed she and ex-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron are not dating ... and she blames the whole fiasco on alcohol.

The former "chief people officer" for Astronomer opened up about the life-changing ordeal in an interview with The New York Times published Thursday ... she confirmed she is not dating Byron. In fact, they barely have any contact at all. She reasoned ... "Speaking with each other was going to make it too hard for everyone to move on and heal."

Cabot told the NYT she understands she made a choice -- an alcohol-fueled one -- that has now impacted her career. She explained ... "I made a bad decision and had a couple of High Noons and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss. And it’s not nothing. And I took accountability, and I gave up my career for that. That’s the price I chose to pay."

However, as she and her loved ones -- including her minor kids -- continue to heal from the traumatizing publicity, she is speaking out because she doesn't want her silence to become acceptance, noting ... "I want my kids to know that you can make mistakes, and you can really screw up. But you don’t have to be threatened to be killed for them."

Joran van der Sloot -- the man who confessed to killing Natalee Holloway after her 2005 disappearance -- reportedly tried to commit suicide in prison Saturday.

According to Peruvian news outlet La Republica ... Joran -- who is incarcerated at the maximum security Challapalca Prison -- was found hanging from a strip of blanket in his cell while guards were distributing breakfast.

The 38-year-old Dutch national was reportedly taken to the infirmary, where he was nursed back to stable condition.

According to the outlet, officials said the manner in which guards found Joran "suggested a possible suicide attempt."

Sherrone Moore's actual mugshot, a week after a fake photo circulated around social media, has finally been released by authorities ... showing the former head coach at Michigan in a seemingly emotionless state.

The photo, snapped by the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office after he was arrested on home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering charges, shows Moore, rockin' a black shirt, looking tired and detached.

The 39-year-old coach was taken into custody last Wednesday.

He went before a judge for the first time on Friday, where officials claimed he was involved in a relationship with a UM staffer for years, which turned ugly when the woman ended things, and Moore lost his job.

AEW Star MJF made his surprise return to the ring Wednesday night across the pond in England ... and not only did it shake up the championship scene -- but it also sent the internet ablaze when he compared a wrestler to Diddy.

The former AEW World Champion looked like he hadn't lost a step in the three months he was away from the company ... and unfortunately for Swerve Strickland, he found himself right in his crosshairs.

"You really remind me a lot of this famous musician," MJF said. "You guys have a lot in common. You both call yourself moguls, you both rock chains, you both rock way too much baby oil and you're both dogsh*t rappers."

It was at that moment that the crowd realized where he was going.

Jane's Addiction is through ... with the band announcing they're done playing together after an onstage argument turned physical last year.

The brother of Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua was arrested in West Hollywood over the weekend ... after he and another man allegedly took a BMW SUV from Lakers player Adou Thiero without permission.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed to us on Thursday that Samson Nacua, 27, and Trey Rose, 27, were placed into custody for Taking a Vehicle Without the Owner's Consent.

"Deputies were flagged down in the 8400 block of Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood, and contacted the victim who stated his newer model BMW was stolen, and he was able to track it to that location," cops said.

11:13 AM PT -- Puka Nacua just issued an apology for his actions ... saying he had "no idea this act was antisemitic in nature and perpetuated harmful stereotypes against Jewish people."

"I deeply apologize to anyone who was offended by my actions as I do not stand for any form of racism, bigotry or hate of another group of people," Nacua said minutes ago.

Nacua shared his apology in a blue box -- which is in alliance with the Stand Up to Jewish Hate campaign.

Puka Nacua is in a ton of hot water after his appearance on Adin Ross' recent stream ... with a well-known California politician ripping the Rams star as an "a***hole" for vowing to do an antisemitic touchdown dance on "Thursday Night Football."

The former BYU receiver was a guest on the popular streamer's Kick channel earlier this week ... and at one point in the convo, the two discussed how No. 12 would celebrate his next score.

Ross -- who is Jewish -- suggested that after Nacua spins the ball and flexes his muscles, he should bend over and wring his hands together, a gesture often used as an antisemitic stereotype to portray Jewish people as greedy.

Here's the deal ... Aoki's husband, James Bailey, was reportedly driving an Audi SQ7 SUV in Coral Gables, Florida Monday around 5:15 PM when he allegedly plowed into a man riding a stand-up scooter, according to an arrest report obtained by TMZ.

The report says the scooter rider was in a crosswalk when he was struck, and Bailey drove away, heading back to his home. WPLG Local 10 obtained video showing the aftermath of the hit-and-run, with the victim pleading with the driver to move the Audi off his foot before falling to the ground in pain.

Who knew studying was a full-contact sport? Kim Kardashian hurt more than her pride on her journey to failing the bar exam ... according to a clip from her reality show.

On the latest episode of "The Kardashians," Kim revealed she suffered a back injury while preparing for the California Bar legal exam.

She complained, "I threw my back out, and it’s like, every time I think I get to another step, something pulls me back."

She tearfully continued ... "There’s all these f***ing roadblocks, and I’m not a pity-party kind of girl, but last night, I was like, 'Why the f*** is this happening? I can hardly walk.'"

The makeup mogul was clearly feeling herself as she posed in an IG video she shared Wednesday night, playing with the pink feathers that framed her neck and making sure to give fans a shot of her junk in the trunk as she turned around to show off the halter gown from the back. She let the drama of the dress take center stage ... opting for a simple makeup look and doing her hair up in a sleek, slicked back bun with a single curl placed on her forehead.

Kylie gave more love to her fun 'fit on her IG story, twirling around in a video set to audio that said ... "Kylie Jenner! What? Oh my God, you look like a Christmas fairy."

Before this happy little girl turned into an American actress and singer, she was just making "16 Wishes" ... and moving from place to place, even living in Germany!

We told you about the wild altercation -- the woman, named Shireen Afkari -- made a mess of herself at a popular food spot as she strenuously argued with employees and got physical with patrons filming her. Now, the San Francisco Police Department has confirmed to TMZ she was taken into custody Saturday night.
