Rob Reiner Death

Nick Reiner already received nearly $350K from his trust fund to pay famed attorney Alan Jackson ... so claims the former administration of his trust, whom Nick is fighting in court, TMZ has learned. 

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Paul Kanin, who previously controlled the trust, claimed Nick’s moaning about not getting the money he needs is nonsense ... especially since he previously approved $348K in payments for Nick’s benefit.

The money was for work done over a roughly two-week period in December 2025 … before Alan dropped out of the case. Nick has been trying to rehire Alan but needs his trust funds to pay him. 

Eric Idle has no sympathy for Nick Reiner as he fights to access family money for his murder trial defense ... and the reason is deeply personal.

We got the "Monty Python" legend out in NYC Monday and asked how he felt about Nick trying to use some of the family's fortune to pay his attorney.

Eric's answer was short and brutal ... "I was the last man probably to talk to his father, so I have no sympathy."

Nick Reiner says he hasn't even received $5 for the jail commissary from his family's trust ... as his legal team says he's owed $558,000.

Nick's legal team says he hasn't been able to access the family's trust account -- which is worth $1.6 billion -- for even the most basic necessities ... this according to new filings obtained by PEOPLE.

Nick's legal team wrote in the filing ... "Nick still has not been able to access even $5 from his trust to buy basic subsistence items from the jail commissary."

The Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman is taking the death penalty off the table in Nick Reiner’s criminal case ... and it is partly due to his slain parents’ view on executing criminals ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Hochman and his team decided to remove the death penalty for several reasons -- in no small part because Rob and Michele were against the death penalty. 

Before his death, Rob, who was a Democrat and outspoken about his views on politics, praised Erika Kirk for forgiving Tyler Robinson, the man who allegedly killed her husband, Charlie Kirk. 

Nick Reiner won't face the death penalty in his criminal case ... and it seems the public won't be clued in on certain details of the case -- because the Los Angeles County District Attorney says his siblings don't want grand jury testimony released to the public.

Los Angeles D.A. Nathan Hochman spoke to the assembled media outside the Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Downtown Los Angeles Tuesday morning ... confirming our report that his office won't pursue the death penalty.

D.A. Hochman noted his office thoroughly reviewed the case, listened to Nick's siblings Jake and Romy Reiner's desires ... and decided that life without the possibility of parole -- the other max sentence for Nick -- is sufficient.

Jamie Lee Curtis became overwhelmed with emotion while remembering Rob Reiner during the Emmys In Memoriam.

Curtis took the stage, breaking down during her tribute to her late friend and giving her speech through tears.

Check out the video ... JLC's emotional praise got the audience worked up, too -- you can see when the cameras cut to celebs in the crowd.

Nick Reiner won't be blowing out any birthday candles behind bars ... as authorities say he'll be treated just like every other inmate ... meaning no perks -- and no presents.

Nick -- who is accused of brutally murdering filmmaker father Rob Reiner and producer mother, Michele Singer Reiner -- will have no extra privileges Monday, which is when the accused killer turns 33.

"Birthdays are treated like every other day, no special treatment from LASD," a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department representative told Page Six.

Rob and Michele Reiner's son, Jake Reiner, is a married man ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Jake tied the knot with Maria Gilfillan in a small ceremony at the beginning of August.

The happy moment comes just days after Jake gave his first television interview since his parents were murdered, speaking to Los Angeles station KABC about the unimaginable loss and the criminal case against his brother, Nick Reiner, who is accused of killing Rob and Michele.

Jake Reiner says he lost over half his family when his parents were brutally killed, and his brother was arrested for their murders ... leaving just him and his sister.

Jake opened up about how life has been since Rob and Michele Reiner were stabbed to death and his brother, Nick, was arrested and charged with their murders ... in his first sit-down interview since their deaths.

He told KABC-TV ... "It's been 8 months. It feels like 8 years at the same time. And it also feels like 8 minutes. Because every moment that I wake up, I'm reminded of my reality."

Rob Reiner's children, Jake and Romy Reiner, testified before the Los Angeles grand jury that would later indict their brother, Nick, on two counts of first-degree murder in connection with their parents' deaths.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office confirmed Jake and Romy went before the grand jury, according to PEOPLE.

As you know, Nick is accused of brutally murdering his filmmaker father and producer mother, Michele Singer Reiner, in December 2025 at their Los Angeles home.

Nick Reiner is calling BS on the executor of his trust ... telling the court he didn't give any consent to withhold money from him he says was owed to him under the terms of the trust when he turned 30.

Reiner filed a new legal document on Friday in which he says successor trustee Jodi Pais Montgomery's claim that he told a past trustee he'd leave the money in the account as "trust property" isn't true.

He also says the claim that his mother, Michele Reiner, told a previous trustee that he knew he could take the money when he turned 30 and therefore was consenting to leave it in the account when he didn't remove it is also not valid consent ... because he didn't authoritze his mother or anyone to make such a statement.

Nick Reiner has been indicted for allegedly murdering his parents -- Rob and Michele Reiner -- and special circumstance allegations have been added.

According to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office ... Reiner pled not guilty Wednesday to two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder by means of lying in wait after a grand jury indictment was unsealed. He also faces another special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife.

Special circumstances can increase potential penalties for Nick if he's found guilty at trial. It's unclear if prosecutors plan to pursue the death penalty, but it opens the door for the D.A. to pursue capital punishment if Nick is convicted.

Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were honored at Sunday's Los Angeles Dodgers game ... and their son, Jake, and daughter, Romy, threw out the ceremonial first pitches.

Jake and Romy walked out to the mound in their custom "Reiner" Dodgers jerseys ... and they hugged after throwing their baseballs.

Rob, a lifelong Dodgers fan, was honored before the game in an emotional tribute.

Jake had previously written in a heartbreaking post that he and and his father shared love of the Dodgers -- and he wouldn't be able to set foot in Dodger Stadium without thinking about him -- so this was definitely a fitting way to honor his memory.

Nick Reiner has reportedly gotten into trouble behind bars ... because the man accused of murdering his famous parents allegedly became "extremely hostile" with L.A. jail staff.

According to PEOPLE ... Nick got disciplined back in April ... after he got super pissed and started yelling when a deputy didn't come to get him fast enough when he was done with a shower to return to his cell. Nick was "screaming, using profane language and directing hostile remarks at both a sheriff and a sergeant" -- but it never got physical.

PEOPLE reports Nick was issued a disciplinary write-up ... and lost several inmate privileges for five days, including phone calls, visitation, and commissary access.

"The Bear" honored late actor and director Rob Reiner in its series finale by referencing one of his most beloved and iconic films.

Rob appeared as restaurant consultant Albert Schnurr in three episodes of the hit Hulu show ... and as its final episode neared its finish, line cook Ebra, played by Edwin Lee Gibson, called him about expanding the restaurant into a franchise.

Ebra and Albert reach an agreement for the expansion, and when Ebra listens to Albert's last request -- which the audience does not hear -- Ebra replies, "As you wish."
