Rob Reiner’s daughter, Romy Reiner, reportedly “lived in fear” of her older brother, Nick Reiner, before he allegedly killed their parents.
“It feels like Romy has been scared of Nick since she was a child,” an insider told the Daily Mail Sunday.
“Even before his drug addiction, his outbursts were frightening because they seemed to come out of nowhere. She tried to stay out of his way as much as she could but it wasn’t easy.”
The source alleged that Romy, who will be celebrating her 28th birthday on Dec. 27, “didn’t think it was a good idea” for Nick, 32, to be living in their parents’ guesthouse.
“She didn’t even like the idea of him living across the street from her,” the insider claimed, explaining that the internet personality lived next door to her dad, Rob, and mom, Michele Singer Reiner.
“But she knew they moved him in so they could keep a close eye on him and give him a roof over his head,” the source said.

Yes, just so. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get any help for the seriously mentally ill in this country. Neurotic, depressed, sure you can get help with that.
OUT OF YOUR MIND INSANE, nope, just carry on as best you can. And if you murder your parents, your children, or a stranger on the street, well then perhaps we’ll lock you up.
It’s a complete disgrace. And this dreadful event shows that no matter how much money you have, you still can’t get any REAL help.
Anyone who thinks that Reiner’s politics, or Donald Trump had anything to do with this is just wrong. And that include DJT.
I have a close friend who is a psychologist who treats drug addiction. He said exactly the same thing. He is also big time against marijuana use because it is a gateway drug into the hard stuff.
He does look like him now in a photo that showed he had gzined weight. He zctuslly looked auite a bit like rob in tbe face. It was posted on fr 2 days ago i think.
Common sense tells you he didn’t go into 17 Celebrity Rehabs for schizophrenia.
He fried his brain and psychosis set in. He never had to get a job, grow up, or live by the rules everyone else lives by.
Like Hunter, he bragged about using anything to get high.
Liberals do not live in a world where common senss reigns supreme. They ,ive in la la land wnerd their emotions outweigh actual f a cts. They are the very defiintion of delusional.
I have a cousin who is 8n her 60’s and she has neved grown up znd ad itted factx. She wil. Srgue till b.ue in the face thst republiczns are tbe most da gerous parfy on tbe planet, snd when you try to refute those wild claims, she holds her hand up like z pstulent child znd literally szys “I am NOT interested in alternativd fzcts”
Thsre is simply no talking to her. She gets to bad mouth repubkicans all dzy long. But the moment someone shows her facts, she screzms that she “doesn’t discuss politics” because “it drives people apart” I kid you not.
Clint Eastwood supposedly said “If you could reason with liberals, tbere would be no liberals”
Truer words were never spoken practically.
And yes, i know my post abovd is horridly spelled. I apologize for not taking the time to correct at least some of it.
Yes. Marijuana has been shown to trigger schizophrenia or psychosis, most likely in those who have the genes for the disorders. It’s a classic case of genes interacting with environment.
Other drugs could have the same effect. Drugs physically alter the brain.
I swear that letters rearrange themselves when i hit the “post” button. I checked my last post, 27, for mistakes and spell check didnt find any.
Whether the drugs activated the mental illness genes or he was driven by mental illness to abuse drugs, once the mental illness sets in, it’s permanent.
Someone from a less affluent family would have probably ODed in the streets.
Whether the drugs activated the mental illness genes or he was driven by mental illness...

How does one tell the difference between demonic possession and mental illness.... at least for the mental illness cases where the person wants to kill someone? I’ve oft heard something similar with demonic possession.... the drugs open the door for the demons to waltz in.
I thought I was reading Today’s Cryptogram.
That’s OK. we did it for you. You are OK.
Is the distinction important?
Either way, his brain is squirming like a toad.
That song, Riders on the Storm by The Doors, was based on a real serial killer. Whose brain was squirming, the way Nick Reiner’s brain was squirming.
YEP
Conan and the others guests bear no more responsibility for what happened to the Reiners than a bystander who refused to intervene while witnessing a child’s kidnapping.
Rob and Michelle were adults. They had more experience dealing with Nick than anyone else at the party. They could have gone to a hotel, phoned the police, then gone home with the police to arrest Nick.
Rob and Michelle were always in control of their actions. They chose to return home and go to bed.
She could lean on me.
I think he will be. Even in California, it’s hard to not get a life sentence if you make yourself an orphan.

Always..... the first step is always to correctly identify the problem.
