The Obamas were supposed to meet with famed director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, the night they were brutally murdered, allegedly by their son, in their Los Angeles home.
“We were supposed to be seeing them that night — last night — and we got the news,” former First Lady Michelle Obama revealed during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Monday night.
The former first lady went on to say that she and her husband were devastated over the death of the legendary filmmaker and his wife, emphasizing that the two couples had been friends for “many, many years.”
“Let me just say this: Unlike some people, Rob and Michele Reiner are some of the most decent, courageous people you would ever want to know,” she said, alluding to remarks from President Donald Trump, who earlier in the day described Reiner as a “deranged person” who suffered from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” while taking questions during a press conference.
“They are not deranged or crazed. What they have always been are passionate people who — in a time when there’s not a lot of courage going on — they were the kind of people who were ready to put their actions behind what they cared about.”
As investigators piece together the events surrounding the Reiners’ deaths, the case continues to grip both Hollywood and the nation. Authorities say additional details are expected as the legal process moves forward and the tragedy’s full scope comes into focus.
