Nick Reiner had a fight with a friend. It was about his bad relationship with his dad, Rob Reiner.
In an interview, David Manheim, who hosts a podcast called “Dopey,” shared his friendship with Nick. He has had Nick on his show many times since 2016.
Manheim, a former drug addict, said that at first, Nick wanted to call his dad during the show, but Manheim said no.
But after Manheim’s co-host died from an overdose, he asked Nick to bring Rob on the show. Nick got upset and stopped talking to Manheim. Manheim sent about 150 texts, but Nick never replied.
“I wish I hadn’t asked him to have Rob on the show,” Manheim said.
Nick has struggled with drugs for many years. He was recently arrested for the murder of Rob and his mother, Michele. They died in their home in Los Angeles.
Nick’s relationship with Rob was complicated. They worked together on a movie called “Being Charlie.” Rob has said he feels bad about how he handled Nick’s struggles.
Nick may have felt pressure from his famous family. He has been in trouble and fought with his parents before.
Now, Nick is in custody and cannot be released on bail.
