As reported at the NY Post, Rob Reiner’s drug-addicted son Nick knifed his director dad and mom Michele to death after a massive blow-up at Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party Saturday night. The timeline is beginning to come together of that fateful night and following day.
“Nick was freaking everyone out, acting crazy, kept asking people if they were famous,’’ a source told People magazine.
The embarrassingly bitter blowout occurred fewer than 24 hours before ne’re-do-well Nick allegedly fatally slit his parents’ throats and stabbed them multiple times in the family’s Los Angeles mansion.
They had had an argument at Conan’s holiday party, and Rob had been telling people that they’re scared for Nick and scared that his mental state was deteriorating,’’ a lifelong family friend who lives near the Reiner home told The Post.
“Nick was supposedly off drugs,” but then talk surfaced that he was “not so much off them,’’ the neighbor said, explaining that at the accused killer son’s lowest point over the years, he was “badly addicted to a combo of opiates and heroin.”
