“You know, it’s ... I physically lost my parents. And then Nick was arrested. And now it’s me and Romy,” he said.

Nick Reiner access was blocked

The interview comes days after Nick Reiner's $1.5M trust fund access was blocked. He has been denied access to money from a family trust.

In June, the 32-year-old sought court approval to obtain funds from a trust his parents established in his name in 1993.

Reiner has challenged the trustees' decision, arguing, "I did not give my consent to any Trustee of my Trust to withhold, defer, or retain my Age-30 Distribution indefinitely as ‘property of the Trust,'" he stated in court documents.

He further argued, “I have never understood anything I did (or did not do) to constitute giving the Trustee my consent to indefinitely withhold my Age-30 Distribution from me and retain it as property of the Trust even after I have asked for it, and it was not my intention to consent to that.”

Reiner has been in custody at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles, and is set to return to court for a pretrial hearing on Sept 15.

Reiner was indicted in July on two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of his parents. If he is convicted as charged, then he has the possibility of death or life in prison without parole.
