EXCLUSIVE: NICK REINER’S MURDER CASE TEARS FAMILY APART AS HIS AUNT STANDS BY HIM
Hello, hello, hello...
The murder trial of Nick Reiner hasn’t even begun, but insiders tell Naughty But Nice the family is already being ripped apart behind the scenes.
The biggest shock? Rob Reiner’s sister, Annie Reiner, has remained steadfastly by her nephew’s side, even as prosecutors accuse him of murdering his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.
“This family is at war,” one insider tells Naughty But Nice. “Some relatives see Nick as a deeply troubled man who needs compassion. Others see him as the man accused of taking away two people they loved. Those positions are impossible to reconcile.”
Sources say Annie has continued visiting Nick and supporting him throughout the legal process as his physical and mental condition has declined behind bars. Her loyalty, however, has left other relatives heartbroken.
“Jake and Romy didn’t just lose their parents,” another source says. “Now they’re watching their own aunt stand by the man prosecutors say killed them. Whether Annie believes Nick is mentally ill or innocent doesn’t change how painful that is for them.”

Insiders fear the emotional fallout will only deepen once testimony begins.
“This trial is going to tear the family apart even more,” one source tells Naughty But Nice. “Every day in court will force relatives to choose sides. Some relationships may never recover.”
Nick Reiner has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial. But regardless of the verdict, those closest to the family fear the damage is already irreversible.
“Two lives were lost,” one insider says. “Now an entire family risks losing each other, too.”

How come no one acknowledges Tracy Reiner the daughter Rob Reiner adopted with his first Penny Marshall (better known as Laverne of Laverne and Shirley)? She sounds like the most normal one of the lot.
