‘Very loud argument’

According to TMZ, the father and son – who reportedly struggles with addiction – had a “very loud argument” the night before, during a Christmas party hosted by Conan O’Brien.

“Nick was freaking everyone out, acting crazy, kept asking people if they were famous,” a source told People about the heated moment that motivated the couple’s departure from the party.

The next afternoon, the bodies of Reiner, who most recently directed Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, and his wife were found by their daughter, 28-year Romy.

Grossly offensive post

While tributes poured in from across the film and political communities, U.S. President Donald Trump drew sharp criticism for a statement he made on his Truth Social account shortly after the news broke.
