Bill Hader looked visibly stressed in recent photos, taken shortly after a difficult conversation with Nick Reiner at a Christmas party hosted by Conan O’Brien. This conversation happened just hours before Nick Reiner is accused of killing his parents.
The 47-year-old comedian appeared anxious as he walked around while talking on the phone in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
According to a source speaking with the Daily Mail, the former SNL cast member is devastated and deeply saddened by the deaths of Rob and his wife, Michele, and wishes to distance themselves from the situation.
According to a source, Bill doesn’t want attention focused on himself following this difficult situation, and he’s choosing not to discuss any past issues he may have had with Nick.
Renowned director Rob Reiner, age 78, and his wife, Michele, 70, were discovered dead at their Los Angeles home on Sunday, both having suffered fatal throat wounds.
Nick was arrested the same day in connection with the murders. He’s now been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, and if found guilty, he could receive a life sentence with no chance of parole, or even the death penalty. He is 32 years old.
According to reports, Nick left Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party abruptly on Saturday after a heated conversation with Hader, just hours before the murders.
According to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail, Bill was shocked and deeply saddened by what happened between Rob and Michele at the party, just like everyone else who witnessed it.
Out of respect for Rob, Michele, and their family, Bill won’t be discussing what happened with Nick publicly, according to a source.
According to a source, Bill Hader doesn’t want to be associated with this story because it stems from a brief, casual conversation at a party that was intended to be lighthearted and enjoyable.
On Tuesday, Hader opted for a casual look, wearing a black sweatshirt with an orange logo, black sweatpants, and basic black and white sandals.
The actor’s hair was disheveled, and he sported a salt and pepper beard.
TMZ reports that Reiner and Nick had a heated argument at the party. Witnesses say Nick, who has a history of alleged violent behavior and substance abuse, was acting strangely during the event.
According to a source who spoke with NBC News, Nick reportedly bothered Bill Hader at a party. Hader apparently told him he was having a private conversation, which the source says left Nick upset.
Oh my god, apparently after he said that – you know, the thing everyone’s talking about – Nick just froze. Like, completely blanked out. Then, get this, he just left. Just turned around and stormed off! I can’t even imagine being there to see that, it must have been so intense! It’s just…ugh, Nick!
The unsettling interaction concerned other partygoers, the source added.
The Daily Mail reached out to representatives for O’Brien and Alan Jackson, Nick’s lawyer, but hasn’t received a response yet.
A representative for Bill Hader declined to comment.
Rob reportedly brought Nick to O’Brien’s holiday party to ‘keep an eye on him.’
Partygoers at the exclusive holiday event reported that Nick acted strangely, including staring at people, which they described as antisocial behavior.
People at the party told People magazine that Nick was behaving erratically and repeatedly asked guests if they were celebrities.
Their 28-year-old daughter, Romy, who lives nearby in the wealthy Brentwood area of Los Angeles, found them deceased the next day.
Nick was arrested Sunday night in connection with the deaths of his parents, who were found stabbed to death in their bed. He had recently checked into a motel near the Santa Monica pier, and had been living in his parents’ guest house prior to the incident.
According to reports, police searched the hotel room and discovered a significant amount of blood in the shower and on the bed. The windows were covered with bedsheets, making the room dark.
As a lifestyle expert, I’m following this case closely. It seems Nick’s initial court date, scheduled for Tuesday morning at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, had to be postponed. Apparently, medical professionals hadn’t given the all-clear for him to be moved from the jail to the courthouse, so the hearing was delayed until he’s fit to attend.
Speaking to reporters after leaving the courthouse, Jackson stated he was unaware of the specific medical problem, but confirmed Nick won’t be appearing in court until at least Wednesday.
Nick remains in custody at Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles.
Police arrested him several hours after his parents were discovered dead at their home in the affluent Brentwood area of Los Angeles on Sunday.
Investigators believe a married couple was likely murdered in their sleep, with both found dead in bed from throat wounds, according to a source who spoke with the Daily Mail.
The disturbing details might help investigators figure out when the killings happened. So far, police haven’t shared any ideas about why the murders occurred.
His lawyer has built a successful career defending well-known figures, such as company leaders, celebrities, professional basketball players, and members of royal families.
Harvey Weinstein was one of lawyer Mark Jackson’s high-profile clients. Jackson defended Weinstein during his sexual assault trial in Los Angeles, and Weinstein was found guilty by a jury in 2022.
He defended Kevin Spacey during accusations of sexual assault against an 18-year-old man in Massachusetts.
Jackson, a lawyer known for his strong courtroom presence, disputed the claims made by the person accusing Spacey and the prosecutors. Eventually, the charges against Spacey were dismissed.
He recently defended Karen Read, who was found not guilty of murdering her boyfriend in Massachusetts after the initial trial ended without a verdict.
Jackson was a central figure in the HBO documentary about the Read case.
Rob Reiner, known for his Emmy-winning role on the TV show All in the Family, later became a successful film director, creating classics like When Harry Met Sally… and The Princess Bride. He’s also been a vocal advocate for liberal causes for many years.
Michele Singer Reiner was a photographer and film producer who also dedicated their life to advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. They shared 36 years of marriage with their spouse.
Reiner recently attended the premiere of his father’s new movie, Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues, and was pictured with his whole family – his parents and siblings.
I’ve been following his story for years, and it just breaks my heart knowing what he went through as a teen. He was so open about his battles with addiction, and it was just…constant. In and out of rehab, and sometimes, he didn’t even have a place to live. It was a really tough time for him, and honestly, seeing him overcome all that just makes me admire him even more.
Creating the 2016 movie Being Charlie helped a father and son connect and strengthen their relationship.
Reiner and his father collaborated on a film exploring the difficult relationship between a son battling addiction and his well-known father. While not a direct retelling of their own story, the film drew inspiration from personal experiences.
Rob Reiner explained to the AP in 2016 that making the film helped them gain a deeper understanding of themselves. He shared with Nick during production, “No matter what happens with this movie, we’ve already succeeded.”
