Conan O’Brien Breaks Silence on Michele, Rob Reiner’s Death After Last Outing at His Holiday Party
Conan O’Brien is reflecting on an unimaginable tragedy.
The comedian remembered the lives of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, who were found dead in their Los Angeles home Dec. 14, one day after the couple attended his and wife Liza Powel O’Brien’s holiday party with their 32-year-old son Nick Reiner.
“Very simply, we had a party, we invited our really good friends and then, the next day, this terrible thing happened,” Conan told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Mar. 9. “Whatever difficulties my wife and I have experienced having our name attached to it are nothing compared to the scale of the tragedy for the family and the loss of Rob and Michele.”
“If you’re a known person, your name is going to get dragged into things sometimes,” he added, “but it is not a hardship. There is only sadness that they’re gone.”
The When Harry Met Sally director and his wife—who also shared kids Jake Reiner, 34, and Romy Reiner, 27, together—attended Conan’s holiday party with Nick one day before their bodies were discovered with fatal stab wounds.
