Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were killed by their son, Nick, multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE.

On Sunday, Dec. 14, at about 3:30 p.m., the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) was called to a home to provide medical aid, the LAFD told PEOPLE. Upon arrival, they found a man, 78, and a woman, 68, dead. Sources confirm the victims were Rob and Michele.

Rob is a director, producer and actor whose career includes some of Hollywood’s most beloved films — from his 1984 directorial debut, This Is Spinal Tap, to Stand by Me (1986), The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally... (1989), Misery (1990) and A Few Good Men (1992).

He first became famous for his role as Mike on the Norman Lear TV sitcom All in the Family.

Rob was born in the Bronx, N.Y., in 1947. His father was legendary comedian Carl Reiner and his mother was actress and singer Estelle Lebost.

Rob and Michele met when Rob directed When Harry Met Sally, and the couple married in 1989 before having three children.

Previously, Rob was married to the late Penny Marshall, who died in 2018 at age 75 of complications from diabetes.

In a 2016 interview with PEOPLE, Nick spoke about his years-long struggle with drug addiction, which began in his early teens and eventually left him living on the streets. He said he cycled in and out of rehab beginning around age 15, but as his addiction escalated, he drifted farther from home and spent significant stretches homeless in multiple states.

Nick told PEOPLE that the chaotic period of addiction — including nights and sometimes weeks sleeping outside — later became the basis for the semi-autobiographical film Being Charlie, which he co-wrote.

“Now, I’ve been home for a really long time, and I’ve sort of gotten acclimated back to being in L.A. and being around my family," Nick told PEOPLE at the time.

An aerial view of a Brentwood home where paramedics and police responded Sunday afternoon after reports that 2 individuals were found dead inside.

Two people were found dead Sunday afternoon inside a Brentwood home owned by director and actor Rob Reiner, multiple law enforcement sources told NBCLA.

The LA Fire Department said a man and a woman were found deceased inside, approximately 78 and 68 years old.

LAPD Robbery Homicide Division detectives were assigned to the case. Several other LAPD officials said they were aware of the investigation but could not share any information.

There is a large police presence at the home Sunday evening.

LAFD paramedics were called to the home on Chadbourne Avenue around 3:30 p.m.

Within a few minutes, LAPD officers were dispatched to the home for a report of an, "ambulance death investigation," which is LAPD terminology when officers are called by firefighters to the discovery of a death.

Neighbors said Reiner and his wife live in the home, and property records indicate they own the home.

We are currently bombing drug runners and a drug addict killed his dad and mom and instead of using this to amplify why the war on drugs is important Trump decided to grave dance a shitlib director.
This is a waste of a good propaganda opportunity even if you don't care about grave dancing or morals.
Trump is so retarded for that, it’s especially stupid because we all just got rightfully mad at libs doing it to kirk, then the fucking president does it to some celebrity.
 
Look at Will Smith children, you can't tell me that someone did something to those kids at a young age.

They did. Jada Pinkett Smith allowed a grown man to be photographed in bed with Willow when she was underage. She was 13 and he was 20. She allowed them to be photographed together.

She claims it was misinterpreted friendship but bitch please, lol.
 
That said ... I will absolutely take back everything I've said about Trump's post if something really heinous comes out about Reiner. I'll be happy to say that I was totally wrong to criticize, lol. My stance on this is what it is right now though.
About the only thing that would change my mind is if the reason the son went nuts is some Pedowood shit happened to him.

I think it's more of a "mentally ill junkie who wanted a fix," especially with that dead killer eyes he has.

I've seen stories about cops warning women that men who have those kinds of eyes tend to do dangerous things, and welp...he did it.

Pretty much this. If you see someone who has those cold, soulless and dead eyes that you would see in a sociopath or killer, stay away from them.

I'm rewatching The Princess Bride tonight. Again, there's very little that Reiner said publicly that I agree with. But if you hate this man without watching this movie, you're not giving him enough credit. It has me smiling the entire time. It is pure charm through and through and the performances are quotable and perfect.

I can't hate this dude, and I'm deeply and truly sad something so horrible happened to him and his wife.

I hope to watch this movie with my wife and kids some day. Rest easy, Rob, you fuckin retard. You deserved a lot better than what you got.
 
We are already getting an entire news cycle about Trump's post, and it's nauseating as well as annoying.

Personally, I totally understand Trump's bitterness towards Rob Reiner, but this event in of itself has literally nothing to do with politics. It's a horrific and sad family situation, and Trump pretty much made it political with the Truth post.

Trump should have just kept his mouth shut, and let the news cycle organically do its thing as fast as possible in regards to this situation. And if a reporter had asked him about all of it (which we all know they would have), he could have even responded by saying "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all" or "I never liked the guy and I don't think he was good for the country, but it's bad what happened." I would have honestly been fine with a response like that.

But blaming the guy's death on TDS even though it wasn't political ... Ooooof.

Didn't say anything ... Which is a lot more composed and smarter than what Trump said about Reiner's death on TruthSocial.

Had Reiner pulled a Destiny over what happened in Butler, PA, then I would not criticize the TruthSocial post in the slightest.
Counterpoint: if someone had this insane hatred for me, constantly spouted off about it for a decade, created an organization called “Ruin SYM’s life” and staffed it with literal CIA glowniggers, then I’m not going to be charitable if I eulogize them.
 
He looks like a psycho in recent pics with the fam.

Killing your parents is depraved but slitting their throats? That’s deranged psychokiller behavior. Way more going on here than drug addiction.

https://nypost.com/2025/12/15/us-ne...legedly-killing-dad-rob-and-mom-michele-pals/

Nick admitted in 2018 that he once trashed his parents’ home during a meth-fueled rage.



“My guest house.” Yeah, he was coddled and catered to by mommy and daddy.
Apparently it's been reported that Nick would routinely storm into rooms and functions and demand attention by throwing violent tantrums. This wasn't the first time he openly fought in public with his parents.

Also TMZ has reported that Billy Crystal and his wife saw Rob and Michele's bodies. His daughter called them after she called the cops.

So there's another celebrity that could potentially be a character witness against Nick, along with all these celebrities supposedly at Conan O'Brien's holiday party that started this.

Oh, wonderful, our first Trial of the Century!

Have we already had one? I forget.

This thread is AIDS.
Is it confirmed that the son actually did it?

Well he's in custody and they're not looking for anyone else. The daughter named him when she called 911. It's about as certain as you can get pre-indictment.
 
Am I out of touch if I have no idea who these people are? Film directors I suppose?

Boomer son of a comedian. Got TV comedy roles as a nepo baby. Had a successful career as a film director from roughly 1984 to 1992. Has done almost nothing of note other than be famous for being famous for about three decades. He is considered an important hollywood celebrity and large numbers of people will reflectively still bow in his direction if the name is mentioned.

Well-known hollywood political fundrasier and political dick in California. Generally in political terms, he behaved like a morbidly obese, hypocritical tyrant who would endlessly lecture everyone else about their lives. He was a massive Biden supporter in the 2024 election cycle. He pretended (ala Stephen Speilberg) to be utterly shocked at Biden's debate performance against Trump in 2024 and (as per many important Biden supporters & fundraisers) blamed everyone but themselves in the aftermath.

Then don't say anything. And if asked by the press, then just say "I never liked the guy and he didn't like me either, but he was a talented entertainer, and I know America is mourning this loss."

Trump has been gracious so many times before-- I'm immediately going back to the moment where he reacted to Ginsburg's death. Then there's the Osbourne family revealing that Trump personally called Sharon after Ozzy's passing with a kind hearted message, in spite of the things that family has said about him in the past.

I've never seen Trump gravedance before, except when it's literal terrorists. This is the very first time I've seen him "cross the line" with someone, and I'm taken aback by it.

Either Trump truly gives no fucks anymore, or he knows something really dark and sinister about Rob Reiner to be saying something like that publicly. 🤷‍♀️

I strongly doubt that Reiner didn't say ANYTHING. What's more likely is we can't find his comments because he deleted his Twatter.
The internet is forever, and autists exist. I feel like people would be constantly pulling up those tweets or public statements had he said anything ... And even Trump would have mentioned it in his Truth Social post.
 
Yeah, the more I read more into the posts about Nick Reiner, the more he comes off as a sick sadistic bastard, not just a drug addict, but a massive fuck up his entire life, and the kind of twisted asshole that was a ticking time bomb of the crime that he committed.

I don't think he could be fixed or saved. He's just evil.

I liked The Princess Bride too, but I'm not going to discount that the guy was a piece of shit just because he made a movie I liked. Pieces of shit make great art sometimes. Roman Polanski comes to mind. So does R Kelly (Aaliyah's Age Ain't Nothing But A Number is a fucking banger even though it's R Kelly forcing his fucking grooming victim to sing about how much she loves him)

Or it's simpler than that: Reiner was one of the loudest, most obnoxious voices, and Trump wasn't inclined to be gracious. I've said right in this thread that it was tactically stupid, but you can't deny that Reiner was no stranger to spouting vitriol. You're talking about a group of people who actively talk about the champagne they've got chilling on ice for the day Trump gets his ticket punched, peacefully or otherwise. Reiner might not have risen to that level, but he wasn't far off. He had that particular Hollywood activist sense of self-righteousness that sets one's teeth on edge, which given his long association with Norman Lear isn't surprising.

I strongly doubt that Reiner didn't say ANYTHING. What's more likely is we can't find his comments because he deleted his Twatter.

I feel like he might have been Twitter detoxing; I know he was off the site for a long stretch.

I also think the situation with his son explains a lot of his assholishness. He would be far, far from the only Trump psycho who's channeling other frustrations in his life against the Golden Scalpweasel.

Trump's generally boorish response does make me wonder what he'll say if Rosie O'Donnell or Joy Behar predeceases him. It will probably have the merit of being funnier.

It's in the eyes, man. Just by looking at him you can easily tell that it's not just addiction that's wrong with him.

btw, I read that the daughter was living with her parents up until Nick moved in. Then, the Reiners got her to move to a different house. And thank God they did-- that saved her life.

They knew how dangerous their son was. That's what this bit of info tells me. Very rarely do I justify a parent estranging themselves from their children/sons/daughters, but if that child is now an adult and that adult makes you fear for your safety, then it's time to cut the cord and protect yourself.

Honestly, I'm with Trump on his interpretation. The son was palpably mentally ill and all dad could find to talk about was what Donald Trump was up to. TDS probably did play a role in Reiner's murder
#BringTheAsylumsBack
It's activism from people like Reiner that closed the asylums in the first place

Rob Reiner was a total faggot about his politics. He wasn't acting AT ALL in All in The Family, lol. He said a ton of mean things, acted like a sanctimonious twat, and championed policies that are horrid.

But at least he didn't support political violence. I'll give him that. That's the bar with leftists now, lol. It's so low that I'll compliment one of them if they don't celebrate murder. :lol:

No matter how much I hate a person, and no matter how badly they've done me wrong, I can't celebrate their death (unless they have done something truly despicable, like murder or rape or something). I just can't. I don't have it in me to do that.

Out of curiosity I browsed some of Reiner's X feed from before he left the platform and it's just page after page after page of TDS. I'm honestly shocked his son took him out before having a Trump induced stroke did, the dude was beyond standard libshit stupidity and had crossed into obsessive territory as many of the most wealthy shitlibs do.
