Two Found Dead at Rob Reiner’s Brentwood House (https://variety.com/2025/film/news/two-bodies-found-rob-reiner-home-1236608550/)

By Brent Lang

Two people have been found dead (https://twitter.com/TMZ/status/2000406000512254138?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2000406000512254138%7Ctwgr%5E5659089dc811a495b8078b5215c6d696bff119cd%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fofficialfan.proboards.com%2Fthread%2F641552%2Freiner-wife-dead-apparent-homicide) in the Brentwood home (https://people.com/rob-reiner-dead-all-in-the-family-director-8653589) of “The Princess Bride” and “This is Spinal Tap” director Rob Reiner, Variety has confirmed.

According to a Los Angeles Fire Department official, the deceased were a man and a woman, aged 78 and approximately 68 years old. Authorities arrived at the residence on Sunday afternoon. There is reportedly a heavy police presence at the home.

Reiner is a major filmmaker who comes from a storied Hollywood family. His father is comedian and director Carl Reiner. Reiner’s films include such classics as “Stand By Me,” “Misery,” “When Harry Met Sally…” and “The American President. A prominent progressive voice in the Hollywood community, Reiner is active in several California ballot initiatives, as well as acts as a major fundraiser for the Democratic Party. He has been a major critic of President Donald Trump.

Before moving behind the camera, Reiner also starred as Michael “Meathead” Stivic, hippie son-in-law of Carroll O’Connor’s bigoted, blustering blue-collar worker Archie Bunker, during nine seasons of “All in the Family.” Reiner co-founded Castle Rock, the production company behind hits such as “In the Line of Fire” and “City Slickers,” the critically acclaimed drama “The Shawshank Redemption,” and “Seinfeld.”

His wife, Michele Singer, was at one time a photographer who shot Donald Trump’s photo for the cover of “The Art of the Deal.” The couple have three children — Jake, Nick and Romy. He is the adoptive father of actress Tracy Reiner, the daughter of his first wife, the late actress and director Penny Marshall.

Variety has reached out to Reiner’s representatives for comment.

It allegedly gets worse. There are reports the son did it.

His wife Michele was a lovely generous person- I wish I had been able to get to know her better. The world has lost two tremendous humans. He was so funny and intelligent - we had a great time shooting what could have been awkward scenes but his wit and warmth made all that go away. Talking with him on and off the set was a joy. This doesn’t seem possible. My deepest sorrow and condolences and prayers go out to their family.

That sounds quite ignorant of your dad. It seems he's saying it's their own fault, when no one has any clue what his son's life was like and how involved they were in the lives of their children.

When you think of how many celebrities over the years have had children with these same lifestyles, and this type of tragedy has not happened. Again...pure ignorance.

I also see zero reputable sources mentioning female hormones, so that just seems like a ridiculous rumor that has nothing to do with anything.

Reportedly they were murdered by their own son who is an addict.Thank you icecream.. That makes this even sadder :(

Victim Demographics (Juvenile Offenders): Among juvenile (under 18) offenders, fathers are more likely to be the victims than mothers.
Victim Demographics (Adult Offenders): Among adult offenders, mothers are more likely to be the victims.
Weapon Use: Fathers are more likely to be killed with a firearm, while mothers are more likely to be killed by a cutting instrument, blunt object, or bodily assault.
Motivation Differences:

Adolescent parricide often stems from a history of severe and long-term abuse by the parent, with the child killing out of desperation.

Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, had unconditional love for their son Nick, who has been arrested in connection with their murders,
Rob Shuter reported in his Naughty But Nice Substack on Monday, December 15.

“Would they forgive him for this? One hundred percent. Without question,” a family source told Shuter of the tragedy.

Rob, 78, and Michele, 68, had long been practicing forgiveness “through years of chaos, pain and heartbreak,” Shuter wrote of their son, who struggled with behavioral issues and substance abuse issues.


“They never stopped loving him,” the source added. “And they never believed love should come with conditions.”


The Princess Bride director — who recently expressed admiration for Erika Kirk’s announcement that she had forgiven her husband Charlie’s murderer during an interview with Piers Morgan — believed that everyone deserved empathy and grace, sources told Shuter.

“Rob always believed people were more than their mistakes,” another insider told him. “Especially family.”

He and Michele “saw Nick as sick, not evil,” another source told Shuter. “They believed understanding was the first step toward healing.”


Even though Nick had loudly argued with Rob at Conan O’Brien’s party the night before the tragedy and Michele confided in friends that she was “exhausted” from dealing with his issues, Shuter said, his parents never gave up on him.

“If they were alive today,” another family insider added, “they’d be defending their son — and forgiving him — just like they always did.”

Nick is reportedly being held without bail at Parker Center Jail in Downtown Los Angeles.

A tribute to the late, great 'All in the Family' star and director of movie classics like 'This Is Spinal Tap' and 'The Princess Bride'

By Alan Sepinwall In Tribute

Details about the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer are still coming in as I write this. Everything we learn about the story is awful, and I would prefer to attempt to celebrate Reiner's work and life rather than despair over this nightmare at the end of it.

So let's start with the start of his career as a movie director. These were Reiner's first seven films, from 1984 through 1992:


This Is Spinal Tap: It didn't invent the mockumentary form (or even the rock mockumentary form), but Spinal Tap — a tight collaboration between Reiner (who also played film-within-the-film director Marty DiBergi), Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer — perfected it, and is still the standard against which all others are judged, more than 40 years later.

The Sure Thing: Admittedly, I haven't seen this one — a road trip romantic comedy, starring John Cusack (in his first real lead role) and Daphne Zuniga as bickering college students who inevitably fall in love — in decades. But I remember being wowed by it back in the day, and no less than Roger Ebert called it (https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-sure-thing-1985?ref=whatsalanwatching.com) "a special love story."

Stand By Me: The first of two Reiner adaptations of a Stephen King story (in print, it was called The Body). Like Spinal Tap, this period coming-of-age tale didn't invent its particular subgenre, but is such a spectacular example of it that it set a terribly high bar for anyone else trying to do it afterwards.

The Princess Bride: Like Peter Falk tells grandson Fred Savage in the framing device, Reiner and William Goldman's adaptation of Goldman's novel has got it all: "Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles." The Princess Bride is that rarest, most delightful of movie miracles: a hilarious parody of a particular genre (swashbuckling adventure and romance) that is also a brilliant representative of the real thing. While recapping last week's episode of Pluribus (https://www.whatsalanwatching.com/pluribus-recap-episode-7-the-gap/), of course my thoughts turned to Princess Bride master swordsman Inigo Montoya.

When Harry Met Sally...: Reiner and Nora Ephron's tale of best friends (Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, neither ever better) who take forever to realize they're in love with each other is the greatest modern movie romantic comedy. The only debatable point is whether it's the greatest movie romantic comedy of any era.

Misery: The other King adaptation (and his second collaboration with William Goldman, who wrote the script), it is a lean, mean, and chilling tale that turned unknown character actress Kathy Bates into an Oscar winner and improbable movie star.

A Few Good Men: When you hear people lament the death of the mid-budget movie for grown-ups, A Few Good Men is the exact kind of film they're thinking of. Reiner and Aaron Sorkin (adapting his own acclaimed stage play) brought together Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kiefer Sutherland (back from Stand by Me), Kevin Bacon, Kevin Pollak, and many more for a witty, stirring, propulsive military courtroom drama full of big speeches and iconic moments and lines.


And, again, those were his first seven films. This is impossible. Steven Spielberg's first seven includes the bloated farce of 1941, for instance. Even when Hall of Fame directors manage to churn out seven good ones at the start of their career, they're rarely as varied or as consistently outstanding as these.

Though they're all very different kinds of films, you can see some clear patterns here. First, Reiner loved to work with great writers like Guest, Goldman, and Ephron. He had an eye for identifying future stars (all four Stand By Me kids went onto successful careers, though some were derailed by personal struggles and tragedy). And he and his gifted collaborators had a knack for executing each genre at such a high level that you couldn't blame anyone who would look at them and say, "Yeah, I can't top that. Maybe I should try something else?"

Reiner's reputation as a director notoriously took a sharp left turn with his eighth film, the whimsical North, which inspired the aforementioned Roger Ebert to write perhaps the most vicious pan (https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/north-1994?ref=whatsalanwatching.com) of his whole career, which included the infamous line, "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie."

He rebounded after that by reteaming with Sorkin for 1995's The American President, a White House-set romcom that in hindsight was a rough draft for the characters Sorkin would write on The West Wing. But that was more or less it for Reiner's Hall of Fame period. He did some interesting things later on — his 2023 documentary Albert Brooks: Defending My Life, about his lifelong best friend, was terrific — but there was also a lot of forgettable junk like The Story of Us and Rumor Has It... in those later years.

But those later, lesser films don't really matter when we look back on Reiner's career. It's not just that that initial run was so astonishing. It's that that run isn't even what he's most famous for!

That's what happens when you spend eight seasons co-starring on one of the most acclaimed, influential, and just plain iconic television shows ever made.

Reiner was only 23 when he filmed the pilot for Norman Lear's culture clash sitcom All in the Family, starring Carroll O'Connor as Archie Bunker, a bigoted, retrograde blue-collar slob forever arguing with his son-in-law over the state of the world. That pilot was actually Lear's third attempt to remake the British sitcom Till Death Do Us Part. The first two were titled Justice For All and then Those Were the Days, and featured Tim McIntire and then Chip Oliver as Archie's son-in-law, at the time named Richard. Though O'Connor and Jean Stapleton were obviously well cast as Archie and his wife Edith, something wasn't clicking. Then Lear took one more crack at it, bringing in Sally Struthers as their daughter Gloria, and hiring Reiner as the renamed son-in-law, Michael Stivic, a college student whose liberal beliefs led him to disagree with Archie on virtually every subject.

With Struthers and Reiner aboard, everything about the dynamic clicked. Reiner grew up in New York as his father Carl was becoming a star himself as a co-star and writer for legendary Fifties sketch comedian Sid Caesar, and then as co-creator of workplace sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show — which, like many of Rob's films, would set the standard that everything following it would have to work very hard to meet, let alone surpass. He had the right New York attitude to not simply be a punching bag that Archie could knock down over and over. (It helped that Reiner was both taller and broader than O'Connor.) Though the show was clearly on Mike's side, it also let him be a fool in his own right — lazy and smug, among other foibles — so that it never felt like the audience was being lectured, by either Mike or by Norman Lear. The two actors together were explosively funny, and the dynamic between the characters was so elementally funny that the writers could have them argue over virtually anything and generate huge laughs. It didn't have to be about politics or sociology. It could be something as simple as the proper order in which to put on your socks and shoes:

keX9D-KhqRI

All in the Family was the most popular sitcom of the Seventies, and such a phenomenon that Richard Nixon could be heard on Oval Office recordings talking about the show. It made room for American television to be more explicit about politics, sex, and even going to the bathroom. And in lovable bigot Archie, it gave us the prototype that would, decades later, allow for the likes of Tony Soprano and Walter White. And none of it would have worked without Reiner as O'Connor's foil.

Reiner won two Emmys for the role, but he had other things on his mind, and he and Struthers left the sitcom after its eighth season. (Without Mike and Gloria, All in the Family struggled through a ninth season before admitting defeat and retitling itself as Archie Bunker's Place.) Reiner would periodically dabble in acting afterwards, including a very funny and sweet turn on the most recent season of The Bear. But he loved working behind the scenes. Before All in the Family, he was a writer on Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, a controversial, ahead of its time variety show that got canceled after too many run-ins with the CBS censors. Like Penny Marshall (to whom he was married from 1971-81) and Ron Howard, Reiner was able to parlay a role in a hit Seventies sitcom into a successful directing career. Which, again, began with [checks notes] This Is Spinal Tap, The Sure Thing, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally..., Misery, and A Few Good Men.

A legend. No doubt about it.

Think for a second, by the way, about what it must have been like for Rob Reiner at the start of his career as an actor and writer. His father was one of the most important, impressive comedic minds of the first two decades of television. (Beyond Dick Van Dyke Show and his work with Sid Caesar, Carl and best friend Mel Brooks were beloved talk and variety show staples with their 2000 Year Old Man sketches.) The term "Nepo Baby" didn't exist when Rob was breaking into the business in the Sixties, but he's the kind of person for whom the phrase was coined. Imagine what it must have been like for him trying to build a name for himself, while everyone associated that name with Carl, and looked at him either as a pretender to the throne, or as someone who only had a job because of his father.

Yet as extraordinary a career as Carl Reiner had, Rob's was probably better(*).

(*) Like son, like father: Carl had his greatest success as a movie director teaming with Steve Martin on films like The Jerk and All of Me. But Rob worked with Martin first, as Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour writing partners.

Earlier this year saw the release of Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, an extremely belated sequel that saw Marty DiBergi filming the band as they got back together for one final concert. It was, like a lot of Reiner's later work, too unfocused to really work. It couldn't quite decide whether it was still there to make fun of these rock dinosaurs, or to celebrate them because they had become so beloved outside of their own fictional universe. And it only briefly touched on the idea of Nigel Tufnel and the others being angry with Marty for how he portrayed them in the first film, which would seem to be a huge potential source of humor.

Yet as I was absorbing each new terrible detail about Reiner and Singer's deaths, I found myself thinking back on The End Continues with deep affection rather than disappointment. Reiner was never able to recapture the lightning he had managed to bottle for the first phase of his directorial career. But at least he got to return to where it all started, back in the familiar baseball cap, still trying to make sense of the buffoonery of Nigel, David St. Hubbins, and Derek Smalls.

And if the movie as a whole doesn't work, its last joke very much does. (Spoilers follow for a movie I suspect a lot of people will be chasing down over the next few days, albeit for tragic reasons.) One of the best running gags in the original film is that the position of Spinal Tap drummer is cursed, with all of them dying in bizarre, often inexpclicable ways. The End Continues seems to flip the joke on its head, as the film climaxes with the elder members of the band (plus very special guest Elton John) all being horribly injured when a piece of the set falls on them during the concert, while new drummer Didi Crockett (Valerie Franco) escapes unscathed. But at the very end of the end credits, we see Marty interviewing Didi about how she beat the odds, only for her to start choking on food, as a panicked Marty rushes in to attempt the Heimlich maneuver.

All in the Family gave Reiner plenty of jokes, but his primary function was to set up Carroll O'Connor to get the biggest laughs. In the original Spinal Tap, he's the straight man to Guest and the others. And as a director in that remarkable seven-film streak, he subsumed any pretense of an individual directing style in service of whatever that particular film needed. The movies were never about Rob Reiner, because he only cared about making them great, not about making sure you knew he was the one doing it.

But the funniest joke of the final film released in his lifetime has him front and center, a ridiculous look on his face, Marty finally allowed at the very end to be a key part of the story, rather than the one holding the audience's hand through it.

The hour is very late, yet all I want to do right now is fire up a Rob Reiner movie. If only I could settle on which one.

Sally sure does not like Robert's clean shaven look, haha and Danielle looks good right now, she looks 40!

Anthony Geary (most famous for General Hospital) also died yesterday. Here they are together on All In The Family.

Yes. Also Tony Geary passing away.:( Also at 78! Rest in peace !

That sounds quite ignorant of your dad. It seems he's saying it's their own fault, when no one has any clue what his son's life was like and how involved they were in the lives of their children.

When you think of how many celebrities over the years have had children with these same lifestyles, and this type of tragedy has not happened. Again...pure ignorance.

I also see zero reputable sources mentioning female hormones, so that just seems like a ridiculous rumor that has nothing to do with anything.

I agree. Not sure why someone would post this ? Almost like they are victim shaming. Certainly making speculations. I really wish people would have more respect and post in good taste in a time of a horrible death like Rob and his wife's !

When I first heard Reiner had died, I had no idea what had happened and assumed it was from natural causes. This is a busy time with Christmas fast approaching.

I'm reminded of the Phil Hartman tragedy. Anyway I've been watching some Cold Case Files episodes lately, and what has struck me is just how brutally violent most of the murders were -- as opposed to the perpetrator using drugs to murder or otherwise taking an action fatally poisoning the victim.

My dad said it best: “They got murdered by a person of their own creation. This kid never had a job always had lots of money , his first car cost 80 thousand dollars and he had absentee parents who were busy with their elite Hollywood lifestyle.”

Oh, and the son was taking female hormones, too. Reporters are leaving that little bit out of the report.
Gross, dude. It sounds like you and your dad swim in the worst, most fringe and toxic circles of the internet if that’s your takeaway from this unimaginable tragedy. Shame on you both.

The rumor that Nick Reiner had been transitioning is a despicable lie made up out of thin air by despicable people who like to scapegoat transgender people any time they can. The truth about Nick Reiner is that he is a schizophrenic with other mental illnesses and an addiction problem, and his parents did everything they could to get him help.

Again, shame on your dad and shame on you. It’s not too late for either of you to do better and be better.

I'm reminded of the Phil Hartman tragedy.
Honestly, I was afraid when the news broke that if it wasn’t carbon monoxide poisoning, it was a murder/suicide. The truth ended up being way worse than what I was fearing.

On the news side of things

Rob Reiner's son Nick charged with 2 counts of 1st degree murder in the deaths of the director and his wife (https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/live/rob-reiners-son-nick-arrested-on-murder-charges-after-director-and-his-wife-found-dead-at-their-la-home-follow-live-updates-135653863.html)

Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers each had a different way of reacting to Rob Reiner’s death (https://latenighter.com/features/rob-reiner-and-a-night-that-tested-late-night/)

“In the current era, when virtually everything, including a savage killing that ripped a family apart, is subject to partisan confrontation, late night has been functioning not so much as the town square but rather the underground press room, editorializing to hold the regime to account,” says Bill Carter. “Monday night, four shows made four different choices in how they would deal with topical news this disturbing.” Jimmy Kimmel chose to go after President Trump (https://nypost.com/2025/12/16/sports/mick-foley-severs-ties-with-wwe-after-donald-trumps-rob-reiner-post/) relentlessly for using Reiner’s killing (https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12/16/us/rob-michele-reiner-death-investigation) to attack the director, while Seth Meyers “made a decision to consciously pull back, offering a sobering, muted assessment of Trump’s comments on Reiner, whom Meyers eulogized for his achievements and his personal appeal, based on his own interactions with the actor-director,” says Carter. Jimmy Fallon opted to directly address Rob Reiner (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/tv/story/2025-12-15/rob-reiner-television-career-all-in-the-family-appreciation)’s death without mentioning Trump’s comments, while Stephen Colbert opted to avoid tackling the weekend of bad news because “other people’s tragedies” were “sacred ground.” ALSO: Jimmy Fallon under fire for “disappointing” Rob Reiner tribute (https://www.tvinsider.com/1234353/jimmy-fallon-rob-reiner-tribute-tonight-show-monologue-video/).

He'll get to it! He'll get to it!

This is horrific and a thread I never thought would see here. What a sad ending to such a brilliant life. He always told the best stories and was an amazing director.

NYT: New details (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/15/us/rob-reiner-michele-death-investigation.html) emerge about how the Reiners were found dead: :(

Part 1:

It was Sunday afternoon when a massage therapist arrived at the white-gated home in the affluent enclave of Brentwood for a scheduled appointment with Rob and Michele Singer Reiner. The couple was scheduled to have dinner with Barack and Michelle Obama (https://ew.com/obamas-plans-rob-michele-reiner-night-of-deaths-11870167?srsltid=AfmBOoqbYQ2voL_v514Pg68t7AenwGj2XmQv35qgGEJc_JwPyMY7pjN-) and others in just a few hours.

Getting no answer at the gate, the massage therapist called the couple’s daughter, Romy Reiner, who quickly came by with a roommate. She walked in and found her father’s body and the gruesome scene of his death.

The account of what transpired is based on an interview on Tuesday with a person who is close to the Reiner family. The person, who provided one of the first detailed descriptions of the tragedy from the family’s perspective, spoke to The New York Times on condition of anonymity because the immediate family was not yet ready to speak publicly.

Part 2:

On Tuesday, prosecutors in Los Angeles charged Nick Reiner (https://people.com/nick-reiner-inheritance-potentially-impacted-by-california-slayer-statue-legal-experts-exclusive-11870584), the couple’s younger son, with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the death of his parents, who were luminaries in show business and Democratic Party politics. The second of three grown children the couple had together, he had been living with his parents in a guesthouse on the property.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office declined to comment Tuesday on the details of the investigation.

In a news conference, however, the district attorney, Nathan Hochman, said that “prosecuting these cases involving family members are some of the most challenging and heart-wrenching cases that this office faces because of the intimate and often brutal nature of the crimes involved.”

The person close to the family said that nothing in recent weeks suggested that Nick Reiner, 32, would be capable of such violence.

Part 3:

The person disputed accounts that suggested the family had been especially apprehensive in recent weeks about Nick Reiner (https://pagesix.com/2025/12/15/celebrity-news/rob-reiners-egocentric-son-nick-had-serious-behavioral-issues-from-a-very-young-age/)’s behavior. Nick Reiner had struggled for more than half of his life with drug addiction, but the person close to the family said they were accustomed to working through his problems together.

In 2016, the father and son had made and released a film together that was loosely based on their experience with the son’s battles with cocaine and heroin.

In fact, the person pointed out, just the night before, the family had attended a Christmas party together. The gathering, at the home of the comedian Conan O’Brien (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/conan-obrien-holiday-party-nick-reiner-rob-reiner-1236452447/#recipient_hashed=370f40e9d87df3a308cc002c99ef16cce2f30802be0086e43b180abaa659155a&recipient_salt=6400d06ee43280284d4875a07c897e494), had been crowded with people in show business and neighborhood friends.

The New York Times reported on Monday that Nick Reiner had behaved erratically that evening and had alarmed guests with his behavior, according to two people who attended the party. One of those two guests, who spoke on condition of anonymity to preserve relationships, said Rob Reiner had rebuked his son, telling him that his behavior was inappropriate for a guest in someone else’s home.

Part 4:

The person close to the family was not in a position to dispute that account, but said that Rob and Nick Reiner did not have a heated argument and that the episode was being overblown. The intensity of any conversation that might have taken place between father and son may have been misinterpreted, the person said.

He took issue with news accounts that suggested the family might have left the party early because of the son’s behavior. Nick Reiner’s behavior at the party, the person said, was not unusual to the Reiners, who had grown used to it over the years.

The day after the party on Sunday afternoon, Romy Reiner, 28, fled the house in anguish upon encountering her father’s body inside the house. Her roommate, waiting outside, called 911, the person said.

When the paramedics arrived, the person said, Romy Reiner told them that her brother lived on the property also, but she did not suggest to the authorities that her brother might be a suspect, as some news outlets have reported.

Part 5:

Romy Reiner did not see her mother’s body in the house and learned from the paramedics outside that she was dead, too, the person said.

Investigators did not find the son in the guest house. He was arrested without incident later that evening around 9:30 p.m. by officers from the Los Angeles Police Department Gang and Narcotics Unit who had located him about 15 miles away near the neighborhood of Exposition Park southwest of downtown. It was not clear how the police found him.

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles police chief, Jim McDonnell, said the coroner had not yet determined whether the Reiners had died on Saturday night or Sunday.

The Los Angeles County district attorney, Mr. Hochman, said that the son would be formally arraigned soon. Nick Reiner had been expected to appear in court for the first time on Tuesday morning, but he was not present and his lawyer, Alan Jackson, said that his client had not been medically cleared to be transferred from jail.

-- END --

Poor Romy!

She referred to her parents as her best friends to lose both at once and in such a manner. :(

Honestly, I was afraid when the news broke that if it wasn’t carbon monoxide poisoning, it was a murder/suicide. The truth ended up being way worse than what I was fearing.

When I first heard the news, I honestly didn't think of carbon monoxide poisoning (I suppose that after what happened to Gene Hackman and his wife, and Chris Benoit before that, anything could be possible) so much, as I thought that it was a home invasion/robbery. It never occured to me at the time, that it could've been the son who was the perpetrator. Admittedly, I wasn't fully aware of Nick Reiner's history with drug abuse.

When I did hear that he likely killed his parents, I immediately wondered if he was schizophrenic. I've never brought this up until know, but about five years ago, one of my neighbors was stabbed to death by her own son, who himself was schizophrenic. When you stab somebody repeatedly like that, that to me, indicates that this is "personal".

Yes. Also Tony Geary passing away.:( Also at 78! Rest in peace !

Rob Reiner (https://parade.com/news/rob-reiner-made-a-rare-appearance-on-the-partridge-family-before-all-in-the-family-changed-everything) and Tony Geary (https://www.facebook.com/groups/classic.television.shows.group/posts/1936366247011362/) were also both on The Partridge Family.

Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, had unconditional love for their son Nick, who has been arrested in connection with their murders,
Rob Shuter reported in his Naughty But Nice Substack on Monday, December 15.

“Would they forgive him for this? One hundred percent. Without question,” a family source told Shuter of the tragedy.

Rob, 78, and Michele, 68, had long been practicing forgiveness “through years of chaos, pain and heartbreak,” Shuter wrote of their son, who struggled with behavioral issues and substance abuse issues.


“They never stopped loving him,” the source added. “And they never believed love should come with conditions.”


The Princess Bride director — who recently expressed admiration for Erika Kirk’s announcement that she had forgiven her husband Charlie’s murderer during an interview with Piers Morgan — believed that everyone deserved empathy and grace, sources told Shuter.

“Rob always believed people were more than their mistakes,” another insider told him. “Especially family.”

He and Michele “saw Nick as sick, not evil,” another source told Shuter. “They believed understanding was the first step toward healing.”


Even though Nick had loudly argued with Rob at Conan O’Brien’s party the night before the tragedy and Michele confided in friends that she was “exhausted” from dealing with his issues, Shuter said, his parents never gave up on him.

“If they were alive today,” another family insider added, “they’d be defending their son — and forgiving him — just like they always did.”

Nick is reportedly being held without bail at Parker Center Jail in Downtown Los Angeles.

So very sad for Romy!:( Many prayers for her!!

When I first heard Reiner had died, I had no idea what had happened and assumed it was from natural causes. This is a busy time with Christmas fast approaching.

I'm reminded of the Phil Hartman tragedy. Anyway I've been watching some Cold Case Files episodes lately, and what has struck me is just how brutally violent most of the murders were -- as opposed to the perpetrator using drugs to murder or otherwise taking an action fatally poisoning the victim.

When the news first broke out here Sunday afternoon . And I am right here in LA. They were saying a man and woman were found dead in a house in Brentwood owned by Rob Reiner. Pretty much leading us to believe that it was a rented out house or an Air BNB which are so popular out here, lots of rich tourists rent out big houses when they come to LA , so I thought , wow that's a shame, I wonder what happened ? I guess they are trying to get a hold of Rob Reiner who owns the home. I figured maybe he owned a couple houses and rented one out and didn't live in this one. I guess that is what I wanted to believe .

Than the second broadcast about it they said a man, age 78 and a woman age 68 found dead in a house owned by Rob Reiner . Than I thought , how do they know the people's ages exactly? Normally they would say approximate ages if they were still trying to identify the victims .Than it really hit me, I thought I wonder if the man is Rob, he is probably 78? I googled and sure enough he was, and it said his wife is 68. My heart dropped. But they were not saying how they died, I did not know just how awful this was at first! :confused:

I think its amazing they were able to find out so fast it was thier son!!!


Very sad :(

I just noticed that Rob died 19 years to the day of Mike Evans (Dec 14, 2006). :(

NYT: New details (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/15/us/rob-reiner-michele-death-investigation.html) emerge about how the Reiners were found dead: :(

A former FBI agent (https://www.foxnews.com/video/6386520770112) gives her (https://www.datalounge.com/thread/36121153-reiner-family-murders-part-3) opinions (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/former-fbi-special-agent-breaks-down-possible-evidence-in-reiner-murder-case/vi-AA1Spf2H?ocid=hpmsn) on what happened (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvRm_0cw6II), given the information (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xx-c-t-NvQ) made public (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCt5jPCxZrg).

1--While rehab and a possible conservatorship could be in the mix of motives, she opined that the precipitating event was probably Conan's party. Nick was not mingling in a normal way, he was being disruptive, approaching people with odd questions, staring strangely, etc. Evidently, no one said anything to his face until Bill Hader asked to leave their group because he was having a private conversation. This triggered Nick because apparently his parents sided with the party goers and not Nick. Who left first and with whom is still unclear.

This makes sense to me because it ties together much of the leaking we have heard. An industry party full of entitled people and an awkward unstable person trying to get their attention. One of "famous" eventually calls him out and he runs to parents. Rob and Michelle side with their friends and tell Nick to -- behave, act normal, leave - whatever. Nick sees this as betrayal.

2 - In a show of premeditation, he goes to the guesthouse and lies in wait until his parents are sleep and cannot fight back. Then Nick slaughters them with a knife. Most likely he cuts himself and his blood and that of his parents are comingled. Nick returns to the guest house to clean up. He heads on foot to the Santa Monica hotel that doesn't require registration.

3 -- At the hotel he sets up the blinds to secure total privacy. The hotel has said the way he did this indicates someone planning a multiple day bender.

While doing this he realizes he still has blood on him and showers again until he finishes cleaning. Because he is caught on camera before he gets to the hotel and looks OK, the blood is probably in his hair. It takes concerted effort to get it out.

Once clean as a newborn baby, he heads out to score dope. Evidently Nick's behavior is textbook for drug addicted killers of family members. The LAPD looked at the most likely spots for him to buy drugs, staked them out and got him near USC.

Btw, Reiner advocated for the release of the Menedez brothers and blamed the parent’s for their deaths - now the Menendez brother’s lawyer is NICK’S lawyer - karma!!! So, by Reiner’s political beliefs, it was his fault he was killed and Nick should be let out with no repercussions (Reiner was against the death penalty, too).

3 -- At the hotel he sets up the blinds to secure total privacy. The hotel has said the way he did this indicates someone planning a multiple day bender.

I take issue with that point. When staying at a hotel I usually close the blinds totally for privacy, don't want anyone seeing in. I guess that means I am planning a bender as well. :mad:

My dad said it best: “They got murdered by a person of their own creation. This kid never had a job always had lots of money , his first car cost 80 thousand dollars and he had absentee parents who were busy with their elite Hollywood lifestyle.”

Oh, and the son was taking female hormones, too. Reporters are leaving that little bit out of the report.

Siloing on the internet has broken so many of us, myself included. We should all watch Bambi again and regain some wisdom from Thumper’s mom. Or, at the very least, we should watch Rob Reiner’s interview with Piers Morgan and remember what he had to say about the Charlie Kirk tragedy.

I probably should have ignored him, too, but people are all over the internet spreading terrible and slanderous misinformation about Rob Reiner in the wake of his death and it’s just sick. These people are happy he was murdered simply because of his beliefs.

I saw a reply on CD on a thread on the political base saying "Rob Reiner should be in Prison"

I dont know why people have such hatred for MIKE. I know Archie didnt like him but really......

With these awful people, it has nothing to do with the Mike Stivic character and everything to do with Rob Reiner’s real-life political ideologies. It’s why they’re glad he’s dead, why some say he belonged in prison, and why they’re accusing him of saying things he never said to justify their giddiness over his murder.

And not for nothing, but the real Carroll O’Connor was a lot more politically aligned with Rob Reiner and Mike Stivic than he was with Archie Bunker. I’m not saying they agreed on everything, but Mr. O’Connor, like Mr. Reiner, was a liberal.

Once more, Reiner didn’t see the monster under his nose because of his obsession with Trump. Reiner was also against the death penalty and claimed murderers can rehabed, so they should allow Nick to go free per Reiner’s political beliefs.

I am sure more will come out because this guy did overkill on him and his mother and that usually indicates massive hatred for something. Being as liberal as Reiner was, that may have been anything.

I am sure more will come out because this guy did overkill on him and his mother and that usually indicates massive hatred for something. Being as liberal as Reiner was, that may have been anything.

Can we please flush this turd?

From whatever rag this is you linked: “Still, not everyone has chosen to speak out. Sally Struthers, who played Reiner’s on-screen wife in All in the Family, has remained off social media since the news broke.” This is yet another lie about Rob Reiner delivered to us by CJMD03 as he, she or it continues to celebrate Reiner’s murder.

“There are no words. This is beyond devastating and my heart is with their family.”

Sorry. His ultra liberal views needs to be respected. No death penalty and rehabilitation. Free Nick, that’s what he would have wanted for another family if this had happened to them.

You’re a scumbag.

Sorry. Once again, it wasn’t Trump that put an end to him. Reiner said, “Trump will be the last President I see in my lifetime” - and he was absolutely right, but not in the way he thought. Reiner spread hatred and vitriol 24/7 and that def prob affected Nick. Because of Reiner’s SEVERE TDS (he was the male Rosie O’Donnell in attitude and looks) he’ was utterly blinded by what was right I front of his face.

Any further political posts are going to be deleted. This isn't the place for that type of discussion.

Sorry. Once again, it wasn’t Trump that put an end to him. No one here on this page said it was. Not me, not anyone in the other thread. This is a strawman.

Reiner said, “Trump will be the last President I see in my lifetime” - and he was absolutely right, but not in the way he thought. Reiner never said that. At worst, you’re purposely lying. At best, you’re gullible enough to believe garbage made up by other liars on the internet. There is no source for this quote; just phony memes made up by scum like you who are getting their jollies from this terrible family tragedy.

Reiner spread hatred and vitriol 24/7 and that def prob affected Nick. Nick is severely mentally ill and a drug addict. This is something that affects families of all political stripes and anyone who would politicize what happened is reprehensible.

Because of Reiner’s SEVERE TDS My god. I’m embarrassed for you.

(he was the male Rosie O’Donnell in attitude and looks) You typed this sentence right after saying, “Reiner spread hatred and vitriol.” So you’re a hypocrite and a liar.

lhe’ was utterly blinded by what was right I front of his face. He wasn’t blind to Nick’s problems. From all reliable sources, the Reiners spent a fortune over the past 15 years trying desperately to get him help. How dare you judge them until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes?

Any further political posts are going to be deleted. This isn't the place for that type of discussion.Sorry. I must’ve still been typing my last response while you were posting this. I wasn’t trying to be political, but to err on the side of caution, I’ll stop now.

Agreed, but keep in mind that if Reiner was even asked how his day was going, he’d explode on a Trump diatribe. He made everything political.

Back on topic, more will def be coming out about Nick’s childhood. I can only imagine the horrors he endured as a child.

I realize I’m wasting my time here and you probably won’t understand, but one more time, Mike and Archie are fictional characters. They don’t really exist.

I'll just say this . Two people were very brutally murdered. It is horrific. Please have some respect and some class, and not continue to slander and bash the deceased person regardless of your personal feelings towards this person ! Thank you !

Rest in peace , Rob and Michele Reiner .

I didnt ever think he did anything that ppl might not like until I started seeing the replies on the political base.....

He spent 70,000 a month for counseling for his son.

Could he have possibly approached the problem in a different way?

Yet another lie from you. Here’s Reiner being interviewed a few months ago. No mention of politics: https://youtu.be/nT-aUDLJRZk?si=hqsc08M50Dfj99Ma

Good grief, wake up. Before the current President, Reiner had TDS for Reagan. Before that he had TDS for Nixon...

I never said Reiner didn’t talk politics; he talked politics a lot, as was his right (and of course he’s going to talk politics when he’s on MSNBC). I was merely pointing out that “if Reiner was even asked how his day was going, he’d explode on a Trump diatribe. He made everything political” is a lie.

Good grief, wake up. Before the current President, Reiner had TDS for Reagan. Before that he had TDS for Nixon...

Exactly. He was mentally ill and Nick was prob around for the 24/7 hatred. I’m sure it mentally hurt him. As I also said, he “overkilled” them and that usually is from a massive source of rage memo sting from something very bad.

You’re a scumbag.

Once more, that was RR’s stance. What’s good for the goose…..

More food for thought - and this IS a true quote from RR……see how words can bite you?

“Every single person in jail for a violent crime had a nightmare childhood.“ - Rob Reiner

I am sure so much behind the scenes causes for Nick doing what he did will pour out in the next few weeks.

I can see why Todd doesnt like these kinds of threads,this one is getting heated....

Nick Reiner probably did have a nightmare childhood. Mental illness isn’t a walk in the park no matter how rich, loving or supportive one’s parents are.

I am sure so much behind the scenes causes for Nick doing what he did will pour out in the next few weeks.
Families of all political ideologies have children who are mentally ill and/or drug addicted. It doesn’t just affect the children of people who dislike Cankles McTacotits, and you and that sm95fan implying Nick went nuts because of Rob Reiner’s political beliefs is gross, stupid and one of the reasons why people call MAGA a cult.

I mean, look at you. Blaming a guy who suffered the ultimate tragedy at the hands of his mentally ill son for his own murder because he said mean things about your lord and savior. Just… shame on you.

And what are you implying by “so much behind the scenes causes?” Use your big boy words. And why didn’t Rob Reiner’s so-called “TDS” drive his other children insane? Were you born with zero decency, CJMD03, or did you once have some and slowly lose it throughout your miserable life?

I hope your family never has to live through what the Reiner family is going through right now.

You think what I’m saying to the guy libeling a dead man, celebrating his murder, and blaming him and his politics for the tragic massacre of himself and his wife… is mean? Okay, chief.

Yes I can imagine its a horrible thing.... And knowing thier own son did it??

There isnt much more evil than that!

Exactly. Their son did it. Not Rob Reiner. Not Michele Reiner. Not the completely fictitious “TDS.” Not Rob Reiner’s opinions on Donald Trump or on anyone or anything else.

Their son did it. Nick Reiner. No one else. To take an unspeakable family tragedy like this and turn it into something it wasn’t just because you don’t like one or both of the decedents is despicable.

Yea people dont understand that do they buddy??

All they see is BAD in Robby (I like to call him Mike as thats how I remember him)

Please keep your replies light here!

You’re missing my point. Reiner would have gladly defended Nick if it were the son of someone else.

His own quote made it CLEAR that any violent offended had a horrific childhood and he needs to be held accountable for his own words. This guy was “Meathead” on steroids in real-life. He had a terrible mental illness as one poster said he obsessed with Nixon, Reagan, and Trump. Having a parent so full of hatred all of the time was bound to rub off on his children. Some maybe not, but prob with Nick.

It should be very interesting what comes out about the Reiner household in the next few weeks.

And for all of those that say Nick should get the death penalty, Reiner himself said that the death penalty needed to be abolished. I wonder if that’s his stance now?

Something made Nick do this..... We dont know why!!

We know how he was on all in the family and like you said he was like that off screen also...... He must have made Nick really mad!! (Madder than he ever made Archie)

I’m sure it will all come out. Had this been someone else’s son, Reiner would be sitting cross legged in front of the prison staging a protest and demanding his release.

Hmmmmmm it makes ya wonder.......

TJ , please close this thread!

TJ , please close this thread!

Honest question. Am I the bad guy in this conversation or am I being gaslit? All I’m trying to do is defend a recently murdered man who’s being slandered and whose death is being celebrated in this thread.

Based on some of the reactions I’m getting I’m starting to wonder if I’m the crazy one. How am I the only one defending Rob Reiner on the “All in the Family” message board?

TJ , please close this thread!

So…..because some of us are pointing out some of the real-life things he has said and believes in the thread needs to be closed? You do know that Mike Stivic isn’t real, right? I’m just pointing out his beliefs and how he’d react if it were someone else and that he’d want Nick released asap.

The thread's out of control and TJ will probably want to close it.

Politics is nasty on both sides, with celebrations on recent deaths not exclusive to Rob Reiner--and that's really gross no matter who it is.

You’re acting as though being against the death penalty is something to be ashamed of. It’s not, and I say that as someone who’s for the death penalty for murder in the absence of reasonable doubt.

I’m not sure where you’re getting “how he’d react if it were someone else and he’d want Nick released asap.” Seems you pulled that directly out of your ass. Just because someone is against the death penalty doesn’t mean they’re against consequences, up to and including lifetime incarceration.

So did Rob Reiner.

How Rob Reiner would or wouldn't react is off the topic of this thread. It was never intended to turn into a discussion/debate over the man's politics.

I don’t think that’s the answer. Don’t we need a place to remember him and reminisce? Although the thread title could become something less gruesome, more memorial-like.

Just remember though, any new thread could just as easy be invaded.

I am not saying RR was a bad person - and I am not saying he wasn’t - but imagine every conversation with him always turning political like you are all getting annoyed on this thread. HE turned everything political and had a severe mental illness RE: Presidents. Nixon I can easily see, however. But, even some of his liberal friends were saying that he was getting out of control. TDS is a very real thing and he suffered from it.

Now, back on the topic at hand, I have never done a drug in my life, so I don’t know what it means to be addicted, but the overkill on the bodies raises a massive question. That was pure rage and that rage has to have come from somewhere. Also, why was Billy Crystal and others at the crime scene before the police? Could they have been along things out of the house that might incriminate Reiner? Even being there contaminated the crime scene.

I guess the next couple of weeks will be interesting……

Enough is enough! You had your say. You keep repeating yourself. You aren't going to change anyone's opinions on here.

This thread is meant as a memorial and tribute to the man. If you can't say anything nice or positive, then stay out of it. There are other forums out there for politics, victim blaming and wild conspiracy theories.

I don't want to have to close this thread. You will be suspended or blocked from this section if you continue. This is your final warning. Stifle it!

I never implied that. I said Rob was nuts his entire life because of his political beliefs. As far as Nick, if he was someone else's kid he’d want Nick released asap blaming society for his shortcomings.

I watched it last night. A very nice tribute.

Sorry. His ultra liberal views needs to be respected. No death penalty and rehabilitation. Free Nick, that’s what he would have wanted for another family if this had happened to them.

I hope Nick gets free and then murders you, you piece of ****!

I agree, and I said the same about people who were celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder.

So did Rob Reiner.Its no surprise.. We all know how he was on All in the family right??

People tell me he was just playing a character but he wasnt!!

He really feels the way he did on the show as Mike!! (He wouldnt of otherwise I dont think)

I dunno...... Merci Beaucoup for jumping in Todd! (Now I really understand why you closed the poiitical/contraversal base)

Come on, no you don’t. You’re better than that.

Come on, no you don’t. You’re better than that.

TVShowAddict must be a Liberal. lol!

Newest article online from a nanny of the Reiner’s said the message was loud and clear when Nick was young - “give him what he wants.”

Reiner created the monster.

Note: I’ve seen TVShowAddict’s mentally ill posts threatening people on other threads. Screaming at them to leave all of the message boards, et al. It’s quite hilarious.

Long before real-life tragedy would touch Rob Reiner and his family, a 1971 episode of All in the Family staged a tense, table-thumping debate over the death penalty - a scene that now holds and eerie, almost prophetic significance.

I’m simply making a comment on how karmatic that clip is, no politics whatsoever. You’re making it into a political thing. You must admit the clip is a bit foretelling…….

Look, this is the deal, Reiner was born into money but adopted this faux hippie persona (like Jane and Peter Fonda). He prob went to Beverly Hills high school and never had to do a thing in his life - and that’s how he raised Nick. As I said, a nanny for Nick said he was out of control even as a toddler but the Reiner’s indulged him. Nick never had to work a day in his life, was spoiled and coddled, et al - until it became too late.

And, yes, Reiner’s politics do come into play because he declared that any violent criminals always had a horrific childhood…..so I guess that means Nick did, right? Reiner was also passionate about no death penalty and said killers can be redeemed - well, let Nick out then - its society’s fault, remember? People are saying prayers for Reiner…..but he was an Atheist.

Do you the sheer hilarity in hypocrisy here?

This man mentally had to have someone to rage against at all times (Nixon, Reagan, Trump) - and I am sure all of that hatred contaminated Nick. Reiner was absolutely addicted to hate.

You can all feel free to mourn a man who wasn’t anything you thought he was because untold other message boards are calling out Reiner exactly as he was.

Good luck.

I do wish CJMD03 well in his treatment for RDS. Maybe he’ll come back a better person.

I was just thinking, California really got hit hard this year. Started out with those massive brush fires in January and ended with the brutal murder of a man and his wife who was very beloved out here. :(

One bright light was Jackie and Shadow, the bald Eagle couple in Big Bear lake and the birth of their baby eagles. That really brought us alot of joy.:)
