Nick Reiner had access to care most families can only dream of — a facility reportedly costing tens of thousands of dollars a month, doctors managing his diagnosis, and parents who refused to give up on him for seventeen years. And the argument at the center of this segment is a hard one: that he allegedly threw all of it away. For years, Rob Reiner publicly criticized the treatment industry and said he should have trusted his son over the experts with diplomas on the wall. This look back makes the uncomfortable case that the professionals may have been right all along — that medication only works if you take it, that sobriety only works if you stay sober, and that no system can save someone who keeps undermining their own recovery. Sources say Nick's medication was changed in the weeks before his paren ts died. Sources also say his drug use was making his condition worse. Michele Reiner reportedly told friends they had tried everything. By every measure available to them, they had. But this segment asks a question the headlines mostly avoid: where does illness end and choice begin? And can an insanity defense — which sources say is expected — erase a long pattern of decisions that allegedly led to that Brentwood bedroom? This is an opinion-driven look at accountability, and it doesn't pretend to have an easy answer. It sits in the hardest space in this entire case: the line between someone who couldn't help what they did, and someone who wouldn't.
