Why Nick Reiner Kept Walking Out On What Lindsay Clancy Needed

Everybody comparing the Lindsay Clancy trial to the Nick Reiner case is comparing two people who spent years moving in opposite directions.

Reiner's history, by his own public account, is one of leaving. Rehab from around age fifteen. Roughly seventeen stays by twenty-two per his 2015 People interview, some eighteen per The Hollywood Reporter. He told the LA Times he'd refuse to go or would walk out and live on the street.

Clancy's history is one of asking. A postpartum program in late December of 2022 that, according to her lawsuit, noted her symptoms might be medication-driven, told her to taper the antipsychotic, and sent her home after a single day. A psychiatric hospital on New Year's Eve. A last appointment with her psychiatrist that ran seventeen minutes.

And there's a piece of the Reiner story almost nobody has picked up. Records reported by Fox affiliates show a yearlong conservatorship that expired in 2021. Nobody revoked it and nobody litigated it. When it lapsed, a man whose records reportedly include a schizophrenia diagnosis went back to two people in their seventies.

Tony Brueski lays out why these are two entirely different failures, why fixing one does nothing for the other, and why the phrase everybody uses for both is the reason neither gets addressed. Four years after that order lapsed, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were dead in their Brentwood home and their son was in custody by nine fifteen that night. On the other coast, Lindsay Clancy's last appointment with her psychiatrist ran seventeen minutes, on January 23, 2023, according to her lawsuit. The following day is when her lawyers say she heard a voice. Two failures, no overlap, and no single reform that touches both.
