Romy Reiner Was Fearful of Older Brother Nick Before the Death of Their Parents, Rob and Michele

Rob Reiner’s daughter Romy “lived in fear” of her older brother Nick before he allegedly killed their parents.

According to Daily Mail, a source told the outlet, “It feels like Romy has been scared of Nick since she was a child. 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 also claimed that Romy — who will be celebrate her 28th birthday on December 27 — “didn’t think it was a good idea” for her brother to be living in their parents’ guesthouse in Los Angeles.

However, she and her other brother Jake, 34, did what they could to help in the situation, and Romy would refer to Nick as “her best friend.”

Rob, 78, and wife Michele, 70, were tragically killed on Sunday, December 14, with their throats slit while they were thought to be lying in bed.

Nick has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced at a press conference on Tuesday, December 16.

Nick has hired top lawyer Alan Jackson — who has previously represented Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein — as his defense attorney.
