Rob Reiner And Michele Never Thought Son, Nick Could Be 'Violent', 'He Had Been Really Bad Before'

Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele’s murder has been leading the headlines for many days. The authorities were first alerted by Rob and Michele’s younger daughter, Romy, who found her father’s lifeless body in his estate in Los Angeles. It was Romy who alerted the police about her brother, Nick, being ‘dangerous’ and that he should be considered a ‘suspect’.

Rob Reiner and Michele didn’t know Nick was ‘violent’

After Nick’s arrest, many sources claim that Rob was worried about Nick’s well-being. A source close to the family tells PEOPLE that though Nick had been self-destructive in many ways, Rob and Michele never thought him to be violent. As per the source:

“If they thought he was violent, things would have been very different. At the worst of it, it hadn’t been like this. I don’t think anyone could have ever seen anything like this coming. Nick was declining lately but he had been really bad before.”

Rob Reiner had a heated exchange with Nick Reiner a day before the murder

As per a report in The New York Post, a source close to the family revealed that tensions between Rob Reiner and Nick Reiner had been high for a while. The source also recalled an incident that occurred just 24 hours before the tragedy. According to the source, Rob and Nick got into a fight at a holiday party hosted by Conan O'Brien on Saturday, December 13, 2025.

At Conan O'Brien's Christmas party, Nick reportedly freaked everyone out and asked everyone if they were famous. Sources revealed to TMZ that he seemed to be back on his d**g usage, for which his parents reportedly were asking him to opt for treatment, which he refused, leading to a fight. Rob reportedly told everyone that he was scared of Nick's mental health issues.

What is the official cause of Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner's demise? 

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office has since released preliminary findings about the cause of death. According to the official records, both Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70, died from "multiple sharp force injuries". Authorities confirmed the claims of the police that stab wounds caused the injuries. The district attorney's office stated that the couple was killed in the early morning hours of Sunday, December 14, 2025, and was found later at their home in the afternoon by their daughter.
