Celebrities Call Out President Trump’s Comments About Rob Reiner’s Death

Rob, 78, and Michele, 68, were found dead in their home in Los Angeles on Sunday, December 14. NewsPlop later confirmed that the couple’s 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, was arrested on a murder charge and held without bail. As tributes poured in from throughout Hollywood, Trump, 79, took to his Truth Social platform on Monday, December 15, to share his reaction to Rob and Michele’s deaths. “A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS,” Trump wrote. Obamas Were Meant to See Rob and Michele Reiner on the Day They Were Killed He continued of Rob, “He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!” After receiving backlash for his statement from Republican officials including Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene, Trump later doubled down on his comments when asked by a reporter if he stood by his stance. “Well, I wasn’t a fan of his at all,” Trump responded. “He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.” Trump added that Reiner was “bad for our country” because he was outspoken against the administration. Many stars, including Josh Gad, Patrick Schwarzenegger and more, have publicly criticized the president’s statements about Rob and Michele. Keep scrolling to see what celebrities have said about the situation: Josh Gad Actor Josh Gad took to Threads with an image of Trump’s Truth Social post and wrote, “There is no low that is too low for this f***ing psychopath. Rob Reiner was 1000 times the man you are and unlike you, he actually cared about the American people. Go paint your hand on your gold f***ing toilet and destroy things like the White House. That’s what you do best.” Patrick Schwarzenegger The White Lotus star Patrick Schwarzenegger took to X to repost Trump’s Truth Social post, adding, “What a disgusting and vile statement.” Jesse Grant/Getty Images for TCM Ana Navarro The View cohost Ana Navarro slammed Trump during Monday’s episode of the talk show. “At a time when so many in the media industry, so many with a platform are afraid to speak, he put his money and his mouth where his heart was and for Trump to have put that out today, I’m gonna say it: You know, damn it, there’s an American family grieving,” she said. “This is a tragedy, not just for the family, but for all who knew and loved him, and for the President of the United States to make this about him as a way to attack Rob Reiner, because he exercised his American right to speak up with what he disagreed with, is shameful. It is disgraceful. And of all the disgusting things that Donald Trump has done, this is right up there.” Whoopi Goldberg While discussing Rob and Michele’s deaths with her cohosts on The View, Whoopi Goldberg recalled the death of far-right political activist Charlie Kirk in September. “I don’t understand the man in the White House. He spoke at length about Charlie Kirk and about caring, and then this is what he puts out. Have you no shame? No shame at all? Can you get any lower? I don’t think so,” she said. Mia Farrow Actress Mia Farrow took to Threads to write, “Rob Reiner will always be remembered for the truly wonderful films he gave us, and for his kindness and warmth, his humor, his love for his country. Trump will be remembered for his greed, selfishness, corruption, cruelty, his vengeance & for trying to destroy the best of America.” Kevin Bacon and More Stars React to the Deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner Jimmy Kimmel Jimmy Kimmel called Trump’s comments “hateful and vile” during Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night. “What we need in a time like this, besides common sense when it comes to guns and mental healthcare, is compassion and leadership,” Kimmel said. “We did not get that from our president because he has none of it to give … Just when you think he can’t go any lower, he somehow finds a way to do that.” He continued, “Blaming death on the fact that he is an outspoken liberal, insulting someone who’s just been murdered, who leaves children behind without having any idea of what actually happened, it’s so hateful and vile. When I first saw it, I thought it was fake. My wife showed it to me this morning; I was like, ‘Well, even for him, that’d seem like too much.’ But nothing is ever too much for him.” Seth Meyers Seth Meyers said Trump’s statement on Rob and Michele was “even worse than I could have imagined” while reflecting on the news on his late night show. “Rob was no fan of the president, and because of that, the president was no fan of Rob’s,” he said. “Just about 12 hours after Rob and Michele had been murdered in their own home, he wanted to take the opportunity to go on social media and post his thoughts about this tragedy. I feared this was something he was going to do, and I was pretty certain that it would cast a shadow on what was already a really dark day, but it was even worse than I could have imagined.”
