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.

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.

“I knew Charlie Kirk, I supported him… people said some such horrible things, and Rob did not,” Woods said on Monday night. “When people say horrible things about Rob right now, I find it, quite frankly, infuriating and distasteful. Did I agree with his politics? I did not. Did I love him as I friend, as an artist, as an icon of Hollywood, and as a patriot? I most certainly did, and I am just absolutely devastated.”
He's in the same camp as Adam Carolla when discussing Jimmy Kimmel, which is understandable given their past histories. I think it's ultimately detrimental to their own worldview when they allow the kind of people that harped about russian takeovers of democracy and the rising wave of fascism to drone on and on and gain traction without actual pushback due to those feelings. They're partly the reason we're at the current boiling point as a country. Toxic empathy, I think it's called.

Same with Reiner and his son. It was bound to end this way if the past stories about Nick are to be believed, and because his parents didn't want to seem heartless and cruel to someone that they couldn't see was dangerous, they allowed this to escalate until... well, until it ended six feet under.
 
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.
They've got him dead-to-rights. I don't think they'll bring on all these celebrity character witnesses. I think the son will likely plead out
 
I have a narcissist brother and I can tell you for a fact that they can not change.
It's not just a set of ideas in their heads that they can be reasoned out from.
Narcissism is a default state of their very existence that is hardwelded into their psyche and consciousness.
It is the very core of their very being.
You can not change a narcissist anymore than you can change a man into a woman.
At best, they can emulate behaviour but their true nature will always come to surface.
Sounds a bit like my dad. He basically spent the first fifteen years of my life belittling me at every turn. Then my parents got divorced and all of a sudden he wanted to be my best friend. Of course, you spend enough time around him, you relax around him and the real personality comes right back out.

You're absolutely right. Narcs do not change. Not without extreme force of will and self awareness, which narcs, by definition, do not have.

No, I want a show trial! I want 24/7 coverage, red carpet entrances into the courthouse. I want dirty skeletons revealed, hidden trysts leaked, secret paternity tests and financial bombshells! I want Nancy Grace hosting it!
 
Bill Hader was at the party and allegedly told Nick to politely fuck off when he tried to wedge himself into a conversation.

So there’s yet another celeb witness.
I’m trying to wrap my head around why the Reiners would have let Nick come along to the party. I’m a social person but when I think of a party crowd that would make my blood run cold it’s A list LA comedy writers party. Talk about a shark tank with cutting humor and top tier assholes. It’s like the bloodsport level of the cocktail party circuit.

It says something about Rob that when glassy eyed, high, Nick stumbled up to the limo in a dirty hoodie Rob didn’t tell him to fuck off. They were scared of upsetting Nick.

Nick would have been patronized as Rob’s troubled kid a decade ago, but now? Now Nick is the adult asshole that treats his beloved dad like shit. The crowd at that party would have loathed him, never mind him acting like a spaz. They probably all wanted to kick his ass or tell him off, but for the sake of Rob held back.

Nick was an anti-charisma, creepy spaz and and showed up in a dirty hoodie to a formal event. He had no business being at that party and I think he went just to cause his dad grief and humiliation. (Or maybe he thought there would be one guy at the party he was bros with or was even deluded enough to think the younger crowd would kiss his ass because he’s a big dawg’s son)

I’m sure Conan wanted Nick’s ass tossed out by security but Rob intervened and said “just let me handle him.”

What’s interesting to me is that people just stopped giving a shit about his movies after The Bucket List. He couldn’t even drum up interest for Spinal Tap 2.

His ability to make films, select material and casts for films declined as his production company (castle rock) declined. Castle Rock in the 2000s was absorbed into Warner Brothers and gradually lost most of its seperate identity. Bucket List was kind of a final happy accident of a film.

I think the view at the time was that it was a rather ordinary film elevated by the performances of great actors. And even though it was financially successful, the credit went to the actors rather than the director.

But after that, minus his own production company and his own financing for films, he was at the mercy of what studios wanted to do and what they wanted him to have.

The business success of Castle Rock in the 1990s was his greatest accomplishment though. Far greater than any of his directing.

They produced Seinfeld, didn't they?

Yes. They had an entire television division in addition to their film stuff. The success of Seinfeld in the later 1990s put the company (castle rock) in a position for a while where they could do anything they wanted.

LOL, What? This was a big fat jew who continuously employed nepotism to get his drugged out son thousands of dollars of undeserved income from more talented writers, etc. And supported overturning democratically elected laws.

Rob Reiner reflects on the critical role he played in getting California's gay marriage ban overturned.

Look at how proud he is of his insane son.


His whole life was a series of shitlib causes that people continuously rejected through the elected process that he sought to overturn through legal trickery heavily funded by people like him who were completely unaffected by the consequences (until a junkie slit his filthy lying throat).

After the 2016 election, Reiner continued to campaign against Donald Trump, calling him racist, sexist, anti-gay, and antisemitic. He remarked that Harvey Weinstein is a "bad guy" but that Trump was "also an abuser".[43]

Reiner served on the advisory board of the Committee to Investigate Russia.[44][45] He and David Frum launched the site in September 2017, accompanied by a video narrated by Morgan Freeman warning that "We are at war" and that Russia had attacked the United States.[45] Other advisory board members at the time of launch included James Clapper, Max Boot, Charles Sykes, and Norman Ornstein.[45][46] By November 2020, the board also included Evelyn Farkas, Michael Hayden, Michael Morrell, Leon Panetta, and Clint Watts.[47]

Reiner endorsed Joe Biden for president in the 2020 United States presidential election.[48] In June 2021, Reiner announced he was developing a television project, The Spy and the Asset, about the relationship between Trump and Vladimir Putin. He said the series would explore the leaders' childhoods and trace their lives up to the point where they intersect. Reiner said he was collaborating with writer Ward Parry on the project.[49][50]

The wages of sin is death and that is what he got. He wanted this for you, too.

TLDR: He supported the policies that let these people out on the street to harass you, but in the end it happened in his own house. Isn't that IRONIC.
 
I remember reading an article I found years ago about Nick relating his experience at 14 stealing $200 from his parents to call a hooker from Craigslist to come over and take his virginity. He sounds like such a huge sociopath during the entire recollection, which he's telling on the podcast that is about addiction, experiences and recovery.

"TWO HUNDREDED DOLLARS for a place called EJ Entertainment!? What the fuck is EJ Entertainment Nick!?"
 
I know I am going to get all the top hats, trash cans, and puzzle pieces for this, but I just can’t keep my fingers from tapping on this one.

>He was a great filmmaker.
> I loved his movies!

Ok? But none of the movies he directed and produced that we all loved were actually his ideas though.

Princess Bride
Stand By Me
Misery
A few Good Men

All of these were created by other men. They weren’t his ideas. Yes, he helped bring them to life on screen and that’s great, but this doesn’t absolve him of being a complete shithead in real life. He had to use the blueprint from more creative men because his ideas sucked. He exploited his own son’s drug addiction for shekels. Even that wasn’t something he created. He just used his son’s “lived experiences” to make a literal flop that barely grossed 30k.

I just don’t understand why directors get such high praise. They’re just one cog in the movie making machine. And their skill at directing/producing doesn’t negate their shitty real life behavior.

I’m not going to grave dance because that’s fucking retarded, but I’m not going to act like this was an honorable and admirable man just because he directed/produced a few movies I happen to enjoy.

His real life had some serious shade.

Reiner came under criticism for campaigning for Proposition 82, a ballot measure to fund public preschools, while serving as chair of the First 5 Commission. He resigned from his position on March 29, 2006. An audit later concluded that the commission had not violated state law and had clear legal authority to conduct public advertising campaigns related to preschool. However, the auditor reported that the commission awarded more than $77 million in media contracts without reviewing their costs. Proposition 82 ultimately failed to win approval.

77 million dollars in “media contracts” and advertising and I can guarantee none of you even heard of that proposition before now. Where did all that money go? That is what he was doing in his real life when he wasn’t maniacally obsessing over Trump.

He endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2008 election, and in 2015 donated $10,000 to Correct the Record, a political action committee supporting her 2016 presidential campaign. After the 2016 election, Reiner continued to campaign against Donald Trump, calling him racist
, sexist, anti-gay, and antisemitic. He remarked that Harvey Weinstein is a "bad guy" but that Trump was "also an abuser".


That is the kind of man he was. His ideology was who he was.

Separate the art from the man. Ok. Then his art, or rather his skill at directing somebody else’s creation, is irrelevant and all that truly matters is who he was as a man. Out here acting like he didn’t deserve to die like that, because you liked his movies. How do you even know what he deserved? You don’t know anything about him really and what we do know about Rob Reiner the man isn’t great stuff. Getting murdered by your own son is a shit way to go, I reckon, but please take your pearl clutching and your condolences back to plebbit and spare the farms this pseudo-sympathy.
 
Nick isn’t a person, he is a goddamn cliche typecast B-movie character a hack writer created.

He's also a common trope of what shit parenting produces and, had he inflicted himself upon anyone else's throats, Meathead would have been front-and-center to make everything but the blame about himself by attributing and outsourcing his son's actions and guilt to some politically expedient target.

How did Nick even find his throat through all that neckbeard fat? Did he need to try more than two knives before he had one serrated enough to work through all that bullfrog gristle?

Professionals struggle with executing fat people in this manner; and they have a tendency to die with their tongues sticking out of their mouths in a manner resembling a pig’s head displayed at the market. I’m betting Nick Reiner bumbled through it, and that Rob’s death hallucination/life flashing before his eyes was a vivid, DMT-induced reliving of Andre the Giant’s big fart on the set of Princess Bride.

Reiner was not a Kirk grave dancer. If you, like Trump, can't handle his politics and decide to dunk on him in death, you are in the same camp as the Kirk death celebrators, and quit crying that all morality is out the window after Kirk died.
Nope. Different standards for different situations

Kirk was an innocent man who was killed for being morally just and following objective truths

Reiner was a satanic pedophile

Can you explain why the deaths of the 2 should be treated equally?

Im not gravedancing rob reiner. And I liked spinal tap. But im not gonna shed any tears or feel bad about the death of some faggot who wants me killed and my kids raped

It's auteur theory. The director isn't just 'one cog'. They're basically the master cog without which the entire machine wouldn't even function.

You're not wrong, we shouldn't ignore that he was a shithead just because he directed some good movies. I mean, this is exactly the same line of thinking that led Hollywood to rally around Roman Polanski and argue that he shouldn't be extradited to the US to face justice for drugging and raping a 13 year old girl. Because he made 'good movies'.

But, by the same token, just because he was a shithead, doesn't mean he wasn't responsible for his good movies being good
