Source Reveals Romy Reiner Had Been Scared Of Nick Before Her Parents’ Murder

In an interview with The Daily Mail, an insider close to the Reiner family revealed that Rob and Michele’s daughter Romy Reiner was scared of her brother Nick. The fear had been harboured long before Nick had murdered his parents. The source alleged that Romy Reiner “lived in fear” of Nick. Romy was reportedly scared of Nick’s outbursts and tried to stay out of her brother’s way. “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,” quoted the source.

In the same interview, the insider source also revealed that Romy did not think it was a good idea for her older brother, Nick Reiner, to be living in their parents’ guesthouse prior to him murdering them last weekend. She did not even want Nick to live across the street from her, but knew her parents moved him in so they could keep a close eye on him and give him a roof over his head.
