Dr. Drew Pinsky has weighed in on the troubling case involving Nick Reiner and the brutal murder of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michelle Singer Rainer.
Pinsky, 67, discussed Nick being accused of murdering his parents on TMZ Live. Nick, 32, had been taking a variety of psychiatric medications for years and was in stable condition, but his treatment was changed after he expressed concerns about weight gain, the outlet reported.

Pinksey emphasized that weight gain is a common side effect of some antipsychotic medications, and explained that changes in Nick’s treatment could disrupt the balance.
He also noted that in some cases, doctors are now prescribing GLP-1 drugs, such as Mounjaro and Ozempic, as well as psychiatric medications to help manage weight-related side effects. However, treatment decisions are complex and highly individualized for each patient.
TMZ’s recent documentary, Rainer Murder: What Really Happenedclaims Renner was stable on his cocktail of prescription drugs until a month before the murder, when he went to see a doctor about weight gain. His medication was subsequently changed, and sources told the outlet that the new medication made his condition unstable.

Reiner’s case is still pending and the courts have not yet reached any conclusions. His defense was delayed because his lawyers Alan Jacksonunexpectedly withdrew from the case.
On Wednesday, January 7, Jackson reiterated his belief in his former client’s innocence.
“We understand that you can take this to the bank and Nick Renner is not guilty of murder under the laws of this state,” he said. “Print it. We wish him the best.”
