Executive summary

Available reporting does not record any recent public statements by Rob Reiner responding to sexual‑misconduct allegations against him; the corpus provided focuses on Reiner’s death, the arrest of his son and reactions to President Trump’s comments about the deaths (see Reuters, Los Angeles Times and The Guardian) [1] [2] [3]. Searches in the supplied results show profiles, tributes and coverage of the homicide investigation but no cited Reiner statements about sexual‑misconduct allegations [2] [4] [5].

1. No record here of Reiner’s statements on sexual‑misconduct — the files instead cover his death and the murder probe

The articles you supplied document Rob Reiner and his wife being found dead, the arrest of their son and political fallout — including President Trump’s criticized social‑media post — but none of the pieces excerpted or linked contain Rob Reiner’s own statements addressing sexual‑misconduct allegations [2] [4] [5] [1]. If you are seeking Reiner’s responses to such allegations, the available sources do not mention any such statements [2].

2. What the supplied reporting does cover: the homicide, arrest and official statements

Multiple outlets in your set reported that Rob and Michele Reiner were found dead in their Brentwood home and that their son, Nick Reiner, was arrested and later charged; Los Angeles police and the district attorney provided updates and said charges could include first‑degree murder with potential capital exposure [2] [4] [5]. CNN and the Los Angeles Times relay police comments that the son was in custody and “responsible” for the deaths; New York Times and Reuters provided similar timelines of arrest and charging [6] [2] [5] [1].

3. Media focus on reactions and politics, not alleged misconduct statements by Reiner

After the deaths, much of the mainstream coverage in your set centered on public reactions — tributes from actors and public figures, and sharp bipartisan criticism of President Trump’s posts linking Reiner’s politics to his death — rather than allegations of sexual misconduct or rebuttals from Reiner himself [3] [7] [8]. The Guardian, Reuters and Time show how the political dimension dominated headlines in the supplied reporting [3] [1] [9].

4. Sensational tabloid material in the dataset is about the son’s past, not Reiner’s public rebuttals

Several tabloid and entertainment outlets in your list describe personal history of Nick Reiner — including substance abuse, homelessness, and past revelations about his adolescence — but these pieces do not include Rob Reiner making statements about sexual‑misconduct accusations [10] [11]. Those items add background about the family and the son, not documented denials or admissions by Rob Reiner on that subject [10].

5. Two clear limitations in the supplied sources

First, the set is temporally clustered around December 14–16, 2025 and primarily concerned with the homicide and its immediate aftermath; this narrow scope means longer‑running reporting on other topics — including any historical allegations and possible responses — may simply not be present here [2] [4]. Second, major outlets in the set (Reuters, NYT, LA Times, CNN, The Guardian) do not include any quoted Reiner statements about sexual‑misconduct allegations in these excerpts; therefore I cannot cite such statements from these sources because they are not present [1] [5] [2] [6].

6. How to proceed if you want definitive answers

To locate any statements Rob Reiner may have made historically about sexual‑misconduct allegations, consult longer archival reporting or primary documents (past interviews, legal filings, press releases) from before the December 2025 homicide coverage. The materials you provided do not include those records; therefore any claim about Reiner’s prior statements would require sources beyond this dataset — not found in current reporting you supplied [2] [4].

Sources cited above are only those in your supplied results: Los Angeles Times [2], Reuters [1], The Guardian [3], New York Times live coverage [4], CNN [6], OK! / Daily Mail tabloid items [10] [11], Politico/USA Today/Time/Washington Post summaries of reactions [12] [7] [9] [8], and AP summaries [13] [14].
