In a startling revelation from a previously unearthed interview, Nick Reiner admitted to taking $200 from his Hollywood-based parents to pay for a prostitute in a bid to lose his virginity.

Nick, the son of renowned director and producer Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, now deceased, was recently taken into custody concerning their tragic deaths at their Los Angeles home.

Approximately eight years prior to the alleged crime, the 32-year-old screenwriter openly shared that he had used his parents’ money for the illicit encounter during his teenage years.

During a 2017 episode of the Dopey podcast, Nick recounted how he stumbled upon a provocative Craigslist ad featuring nothing but an “a** shot” as the profile picture.

Speaking to the podcast hosts, David Manheim and the late Chris O’Connor, Nick explained that the image was the sole content of the profile, accompanied by a contact number.

Nick, who had already been grappling with addiction, explained that someone he had met at an outpatient rehab facility told him that he would be able to find sex workers online. 

‘I think I was watching Tom and Jerry or something, and I went over to my computer, got this woman’s number,’ he said at the time.

‘I called her up – I was about 14 or something – and her going rate was about $200.’

‘This is the part of the story that I don’t usually tell, but I’ll tell it anyway. I got $200 from my parents,’ he added.

Nick said he knew where they kept their money and took it without them noticing at about 1 am. 

‘I didn’t say, “Hey, look, I’m going to be with a hooker tonight, do you have an extra $200?”‘ 

After he secured the stolen funds, Nick said the woman arrived at his house before detailing his first time. 

‘I didn’t know how it works, so I tried to kiss her – she didn’t want that,’ he told the seemingly intrigued hosts. 

‘She was not a good-looking chick, I’ll just say that. I didn’t care because I was young and I was like, “This is awesome.”‘  

At the conclusion of what Nick described as a very brief bout of intercourse, he said he ‘kind felt like s**t’ but also thought it was ‘awesome.’ 

The sex worker had left shortly after, but Nick said he called her back when he realized he had more money on him, and she returned.

‘I never asked her her name, I never really got into any specifics of anything,’ he continued.

‘But somewhere along the way, when I tell this, somebody dubbed her as “Cherry Red,” so that’s what I go by.’

Adding to the shocking incident, Nick said he ate a marijuana-infused chocolate bar and was ‘extremely blazed’ throughout the ordeal. 

‘But I still would’ve done it if I were sober, I think,’ he asserted. 

Nick, who lived in his parents’ guest house, was arrested for allegedly fatally stabbing them in their bed on Sunday night after he checked into a motel close to Santa Monica’s famous pier.  

Police reportedly raided the hotel room and found a shower ‘full of blood,’ blood all over the bed and the windows blacked out with the bedsheets.

TMZ reported that Rob Reiner had a ‘very loud argument’ with his son at Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party on Saturday night.

Witnesses recalled that Nick, who has a damning track record of alleged violence and substance abuse, was acting erratically at the bash. 

Rob and Michele’s daughter, Romy, 28, who lives across the street from their home in LA’s ritzy Brentwood neighborhood, made the grim discovery of their dead bodies the following afternoon.  

Nick is currently in the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown LA without bail.

His first court hearing was set for Tuesday morning at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, but was delayed because he was not medically cleared to be transferred from the jail to the courthouse, according to his lawyer Alan Jackson.
