Donald Trump Doubles Down In Attack On ‘Deranged’ Rob Reiner In Shocking Interview
Film director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were found dead in their Los Angeles home on Sunday. Police are investigating the deaths as a homicide. Their 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is being held without bail.
While officials have not released full details, sources indicate the couple suffered multiple stab wounds. They were pronounced dead at the scene after emergency responders arrived on Sunday afternoon.
The tragedy prompted immediate reaction, notably a controversial statement from former President Donald Trump. He suggested Rob Reiner’s criticism of him, which Trump termed “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” played a role.
These remarks were widely condemned by figures from both major political parties as inappropriate for a family tragedy. Trump later reiterated his criticism of Reiner when questioned by reporters.
Rob Reiner, 78, was a celebrated filmmaker known for works like “The Princess Bride” and “When Harry Met Sally.” Michele Reiner, 68, was a photographer and producer. The couple married in 1989 and had three children.
Their son, Nick, has previously spoken publicly about struggles with addiction. He co-wrote a film with his father that was loosely based on his experiences. Reports state the father and son argued at a party the night before the killings.
The investigation continues as tributes pour in for the Reiners from across the entertainment industry and political world. Former Presidents Biden and Obama were among those offering public condolences.
