Dick Van Dyke’s 100th birthday weekend was supposed to be a joyous milestone, but was overshadowed by tragedy and fear.
The legendary actor and his wife Arlene Silver mourn the shocking deaths of longtime friends Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner while also confronting a disturbing stalker situation at their Malibu home.
The 54-year-old took to her Instagram Stories on December 16 to share that she has been followed for months by a man who dwells on Van Dyke’s public appearances.
“Someone is stalking me around Malibu,” she shared, admitting she was too scared to attend her daily yoga class.
“And I don’t feel comfortable going out, on top of everything else,” she added.
“I go to yoga for my mental health and just to move my body and there’s some guy, just you know, he’s been hanging out with all the Dick Van Dyke stuff and I said something to him yesterday and hopefully…” she elaborated. “It’s hard to explain, but I won’t give him attention.”
She continued: “It’s a shame, but this is the one class I’m leaving to do something for myself. So hopefully he’ll go away or I’ll have to have a bodyguard escort me to my yoga class. Really?”
The timing of her revelation coincided with devastating news.
On December 14, Rob and Michele Reiner were found dead in their home in Brentwood.
