00:00Newly released photos showed the dramatic arrest of Nick Reiner,

00:03charged with the brutal murders of his parents, Rob and Michelle Reiner.

00:07Photos shared by the LAPD show the 32-year-old wearing a black jacket with white stripes,

00:12being pinned to the ground by police, then escorted to a squad car in handcuffs.

00:17The LAPD, with the help of U.S. Marshals, tracked him down near a metro station by USC campus,

00:23roughly 15 miles from his parents' Brentwood home.

00:26Nick was reportedly staying at the Pierside Santa Monica Motel, where staff alerted the LAPD

00:32after claiming to have discovered a disturbing trail of blood inside his room.

00:37Nick is being held in jail without bail and is reportedly on suicide watch.

00:41The shocking story has shaken Hollywood to its core,

00:44as new stories of Nick's troubled childhood and past come to light.

00:48The deceased couple's former yoga teacher from the early 2000s, Alana Zabel,

00:53told Page Six that Nick interrupted pretty much all of their yoga sessions at the family's Los Angeles home.

00:59Disruptions lasted 20 minutes or so, intense outbursts with lots of screaming.

01:05Zabel described Nick as egocentric, a little boy with big behavioral issues,

01:10who was always upsetting everyone. She wondered if ADHD was at play,

01:15calling his unusually high energy just inexhaustible.

01:19Nick's troubles as a kid turned into a life battling drug addiction,

01:23in and out of rehab since the age of 15.

01:25He wrote the 2016 semi-autobiographical film Being Charlie, directed by his dad, Rob Reiner.

01:32Drink?

01:32If you continue to refuse to accept the disease that put you here,

01:36you will continue to be a repeat offender.

01:38Don't you mean repeat customer?

01:39I love him!

01:40I love him!

01:41Oh, and I don't love him!

01:42I don't know!

01:42You've had plenty of courses, Charlie!

01:44Yeah, rehab or jail, you know, quite a wide selection there.

01:47One of us had to keep him safe.

01:49For him or for you?

01:50However, the father-son duo publicly fought on set,

01:54as witnessed by a stunt performer who worked one day on the movie.

01:57Eric Audet told Page Six,

01:59Obviously Rob loved his son because he's doing this movie for his son,

02:02and still, his son was unappreciative.

02:06He's a Nepo baby, a spoiled kid to the T.

02:09In 2015, the Reiner family sat down with The Hollywood Reporter.

02:13Looking back on that interview, writer Steven Zeichik now calls it painful and jarring.

02:18He remembered Rob getting emotional, discussing Nick's very hard struggles with drug addiction.

02:23The number one job of any parent is to keep their child safe.

02:26And I hadn't done that.

02:28And now here, I have done that.

02:30I kept him safe.

02:31He came out alive.

02:32Zeichik noted,

02:34Here in 2025, the words kept ricocheting through my brain.

02:38Yes, Nick had come out alive.

02:40It was Rob that hadn't.
