You mean alcohol? |
| There’s a 48 hour rule that you can’t say negative things about a dead person so just report the negative and stop responding to it. |
This. Also Rob Reiner was a "Hollywood child" (his dad was Carl Reiner, famous comedian and actor and friend to Dick Van Dyke and Mel Brooks) and he was a kind, successful person. Meanwhile, I grew up middle class in a small town in the mountains far from Hollywood or even a major city and I have a sibling with a serious substance abuse problem. He's lived in that town his entire life. Addiction and mental illness are not diseases that strike only the rich and famous. Equal opportunity life destroyers. |

It is unreasonable to say pacific palisades is a worse place for a child to live than Darfur, yes |

So I'm 56 and I was aware of Rob Reiner from when I was 11 yrs old, watching re-runs of All in the Family after school each day.
And he went on to make such fabulous movies and make changes in the world for the betterment of human kind. This is an enormous tragedy. His poor family and friends. |

+1 Unfortunately and sadly, too many people don't want to admit that some individuals need lifetime hospitalization due to the severity of their mental health issues. Their families often live in fear for their loved ones and themselves. |
| I have a sibling that had a drug problem for many years, and this was my worst fear. For many many years. It is so incredibly sad. |
They just don't make movies like they used to. So many of these directors are getting too old and the filmmakers today put out so much garbage. |
| This is such a loss. Carl Reiner, Rob’s father, lived to 98. He was very good friends with the absolutely lovely Dick Van Dyke who just turned 100. Of course there was no guarantee that Rob would live that long but it was certainly possible. Such a tragedy. |
Don’t be dim. They weren’t walking around the house! They just walked down to Rob’s house probably in disbelief. |
| I’m so sad about this. Sad for his family. Sad for Mel Brooks who was such close friends with his dad. Must feel like he’s lost a son. But overwhelmingly sad for Rob and his wife and the absolute horror, disbelief and betrayal they must have felt in their final moments. |
No one has said anything negative about Rob Reiner whatsoever. |
