Nick Reiner revealed that he once “destroyed” parents Rob and Michele Reiner’s home during a drug-fueled rage.
In a 2018 appearance on the “Dopey” podcast, Nick recalled a time when he became violent while being “sequestered” in the famed director and actress’ guest house while he was high “on meth.”
“I went 10 rounds in my guest house,” he shared.
“It’s not much of a story. I got totally spun out on uppers — I think it was coke and something else — and I was up for days on end,” Nick, 32, added. “I started punching out some things in my guest house.”
The screenwriter said his violent fit “started with the TV” and then he “went over to the lamp.”
“Everything in the guest house got wrecked,” he recalled.
When asked by one of the podcast hosts if Nick “punched the TV,” he replied, “Yeah. I literally punched the TV.”
Nick could not recall whether or not he lacerated his hand from the television’s glass.
The “Being Charlie” writer said that while there was “no logic” behind his violent outburst, he was “pissed that his parents told him he “had to go.”
Nick’s 2018 interview resurfaced one day after his parents — Rob, 78, and Michele, 68 — were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, Calif., home on Sunday.
The couple’s daughter, Romy, 28, found their bodies and the pair’s throats had reportedly been slit.
Nick was arrested on charges of the murders on Monday. He is being held at Parker Center Jail in Downtown Los Angeles with a $4 million bail.
Nick openly battled with drug addiction since he was a teenager and had a reputation for violent behavior.
“This is not the first time their son has been violent,’’ a longtime neighbor of the victims said of Nick while exclusively chatting with The Post.
“I know of another incident a few years back with Nick, but I won’t say more than that. I just never thought it would ever get to this point.”
The neighbor claimed Nick and his parents “argued” about wanting him to go to rehab “for years,” but the troubled man “had demons for the longest [time].”
Meanwhile, sources exclusively told Page Six Monday that Nick “hated himself for not being as talented, prolific or beloved” as his father, Rob, and his grandfather, Carl Reiner.
Rob and Michele also shared son Jake, 34.
The Emmy winner was also the father of adopted daughter Tracy Reiner, 61, from his first marriage to Penny Marshall.
