Rob Reiner’s daughter Romy ‘lived in fear’ of brother Nick

“She didn’t even like the idea of ​​him living across the street,” the insider claimed, explaining how Romy lived next door to her father, Rob, 78, and mother, Michele Singer, 70.

“But she knew they brought him in so they could keep a close eye on him and give him a roof over his head,” the source said.

‘There were plenty of times when Romy was angry with Nick, and that of course brought her much closer to Jake.’

According to the source, Jake, 34, felt the same way about Nick, “and Romy was able to talk about it when she didn’t want to bother their parents.”

“She and Jake are in a daze right now,” the insider claimed.

Despite reportedly being afraid of Nick, Romy tried to help her brother in the way she could and would call him her “best friend,” the source said.
