In true Hollywood style, it all worked out.
Charles Manson agrees.
Multiple reports say comedian Conan O’Brien stopped his party guests from calling the police on Nick Reiner, who had apparently become agitated and combative during the Christmas Party at O’Brien’s home the night before film director Rob Reiner and his wife were stabbed to death in their own home.
The Reiner family attended O’Brien’s Christmas Party on Saturday, December 13 and the media were soon flooded with reports that Rob, his wife Michele, and troubled son Nick exploded in a loud argument that had other party goers “freaking out.”
The Reiners quickly abandoned the party and fled in embarrassment. But it now appears that the argument was heated enough that some of O’Brien’s guests wanted to call the police. O’Brien, though. urged them not to do so, according to the Daily Mail.
“They got in an argument, the father and son. It got so bad and loud someone wanted to call the police to report it,” the insider said, according to the paper — which cited more than one insider concerning the incident.
“But Conan stepped in and said, ‘it’s my house, my party, I’m not calling the police.’ He talked them out of calling the police,” the source added.
“When the s**t was hitting the fan, somebody said we need to call the police. The conversation was about getting this kid put into a mental-health hold,” another source said, adding, “Conan O’Brien stepped in and said, ‘no, I don’t want the police at my house.'”
The second insider called the argument between Rob and Nick “pretty intense.”
How did that work out, Conan? Well, one thing is for sure. You won't be in Rob's next movie.
Translation, Conan is in deep trouble for being an accessory to the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife.
"Don't call the cops! Think of the headlines! We don't need any bad publicity."
Poor Conan hasn't been this embarrassed since NBC canned his ass from The Tonight Show.
Conan got canned because Jay Leno wanted the time slot back and NBC didn't say no.
Really not seeing how O'Brien is at fault for this. Did the partygoers not have free will to still call the police, despite Conan's wishes? Would a simple phone call to the police resolve a decades long struggle within the Reiner family that none of them seemed capable of resolving on their own? This was a tragedy built over time and nothing said or done at a Christmas party was going to derail it.
