Bethenny Frankel called the tragic murders of Rob and Michele Reiner a “cautionary tale,” urging those who feel “in threat of danger” to take action.
“So the Rob Reiner tragedy has reminded me of something I already know to be true,” the “Real Housewives of New York” alum stated in an Instagram Reel shared Monday.
“If you see something, you say something. Or you avoid something, or you protect yourself,” she explained, noting that she has had several situations where she “felt in threat of danger” and “acted accordingly.”
Frankel, 55, urged her followers to take note of anything that makes them feel “uncomfortable” or “alarmed,” or makes them wonder “What if this person ever did this?”
“It could be in a breakup, a divorce, It could be with your kid. Or something that’s like ‘What if?’ Every situation like this is someone’s child or parent or sister or brother or friend.”
“Mental illness and addiction and insanity or temporary insanity, and rage and jealousy — all of these things that we see are cautionary tales, because it could happen to you,” she concluded.
Frankel’s pointed message comes shortly after Page Six confirmed that Rob and Michele’s son Nick was arrested on charges of murder in his parents’ deaths.
Rob, 78, and Michele, 68, were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, Calif. home on Sunday. Law enforcement sources told The Post that Nick was a person of interest.
He was taken to Parker Center Jail in Downtown Los Angeles on Monday and later transferred to Twin Towers Correctional Facility, where he is being held without bail, a rep for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office told Page Six.
The legendary director and his wife of of 36 years were reportedly found by their daughter, Romy, who allegedly told law enforcement that a “dangerous” relative should be a suspect.
Since Nick’s arrest, his troubled past and tense relationship with his father have come to light. He notably has struggled with addiction for more than half of his life and experienced homelessness.
A source close to the Reiner family exclusively told Page Six that Nick “really resented” his dad and “hated himself for not being as talented, prolific or beloved as his dad or grandad.”
Rob’s father, Carl Reiner, was also an actor, comedian, screenwriter, director and author whose career was marked by numerous accolades as well.
Another insider told us that Nick’s “behavioral issues” date all the way back to when he was a “little boy” who “was always upsetting everyone” but “trying to figure it out.”
In a chilling discovery, sources claim that Nick got into a heated argument with his parents at Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party Saturday night just hours before they were pronounced dead.
More sources have come out and claimed Nick behaved “creepily” at the bash and “was freaking everyone out, acting crazy” as he “kept asking people if they were famous.”
Rob and Michele reportedly left the party after getting into the confrontation with their son. It is unclear if Nick stayed.
