Jane Fonda Opens Up About Rob Reiner’s Final Night

Jane Fonda has said she is “reeling in grief” after the shocking deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner.

The “9 to 5” actor wrote this week about seeing the Reiners on Saturday night, saying that the two were “healthy and happy.”

On Sunday, the director and his wife were found dead in their Los Angeles home.

“Rob and Michele Reiner were wonderful, caring, smart, funny, generous people, always coming up with ideas for how to make the world better, kinder,” Fonda wrote on Instagram Monday alongside a photo of the two.

“They had been helping me launch the Committee for the First Amendment. I saw them night before last looking healthy and happy.”

“I am reeling with grief. Stunned,” she added.

The couple’s son, 32-year-old Nick Reiner, was taken into custody shortly after his parents were found stabbed at their home on Sunday. He was booked for murder, according to the Los Angeles Police Department, and is currently being held without bail.

On Saturday, the couple attended Conan O’Brien’s star-studded annual holiday party, where TMZ alleged that Rob and Nick Reiner got into a loud argument.

“Nick was freaking everyone out, acting crazy, kept asking people if they were famous,” a source told People magazine.
