Nick Reiner threw “terrifying” tantrums as a child that escalated when he struggled with drug abuse before he was charged with murdering his mother and his Hollywood icon father, Rob Reiner, according to a family friend who has known him his whole life. The outbursts were so violent that Nick Reiner often had to be physically held back by his father, with the unidentified lifelong friend telling the Daily Mail of seeing “so much anger in his eyes” even as a kid. Many of the family fights “had to do with [Nick] just doing something self-destructive, and fighting back when they tried to help him,” the friend said of his dad and mom, Michele, who was also stabbed to death Sunday.
