Just hours before tragedy struck, Romy Reiner shared what seemed like a quiet, ordinary Instagram Story—an understated show of support for her famous father, Rob Reiner. The post showed two films tied to his legacy, This Is Spinal Tap and its long-anticipated sequel, with a simple caption: “Go watch.” At the time, it felt warm and proud, nothing more than a daughter cheering on her dad.
Only later did that casual moment take on devastating weight. According to People, Romy would soon discover Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner, dead in their Los Angeles home. The contrast between that fleeting Instagram endorsement and the tragedy that followed has left many shaken, turning a once-ordinary post into a haunting marker of the last normal moments before everything changed.
