Reports claim that Rob and his son Nick had a “very loud argument” while attending Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party on Saturday night. It’s said Nick and his parents were heard arguing at the event, according to TMZ.
It’s reported by the outlet that Rob and his wife left the party shortly after. It is not known if Nick left with his parents.
In 2015, Nick co-wrote the film Being Charlie. It was directed by his father and inspired by Nick’s experiences with drug addiction, rehab and homelessness. Over the years, Nick has been open about his struggles. He first attended rehab around his 15th birthday.
In the film, there were elements of their relationship. And in 2016, Rob told The Associated Press: “I maybe didn’t handle it the best way. I listened to a lot of people who had a desk and a diploma. I didn’t really think about my kid and what he needed.”
He went on: “We didn’t go into it thinking this is going to be therapeutic or bring us closer, but it did come out that way. It forced us to understand ourselves better than we had. I told Nick while we were making it, I said, ‘you know it doesn’t matter, whatever happens to this thing, we won already. This has already been good.’”
While promoting the film, Nick also said he “didn’t bond” well with his father during his younger years. Speaking with the BUILD series, Nick said that working on Being Charlie with his dad “made me feel closer to him”.
Just months ago, Rob admitted he loved his children, ‘even the bad ones’, in what is believed to be one of his final interviews. Speaking to Piers Morgan, he said: ” “Well, I mean, listen, people have their favourites. [It’s] the cliché, ‘We love all our children, even the bad ones.”
Following the deaths of Rob and Michele, a spokesperson for the Reiner family said: “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.”
It’s believed that their daughter, Romy, had discovered them at the huge property. Meanwhile, Rob’s eldest daughter, Tracy Reiner, who was adopted by the star during his first marriage to Penny Marshall, said she was in “shock.” Speaking to NBC, she said: “I came from the greatest family ever. I don’t know what to say. I’m in shock.”
