Brian Chira's grandmother sparked backlash after sharing plans to move out of a house TikTokers built in honor of her grandson.
Chira’s grandmother explained that her area is prone to insecurity and that their home is a significant distance from the main road. She expressed openness to moving to a container house closer to the road for safety reasons.
Following public backlash, she went live on TikTok to clarify that she had no intention of selling the house. Instead, she said she was open to TikTokers either building her a new house elsewhere or installing an electric fence around her current home.
Having lost her grandson last year in a tragic road accident, the elderly woman emphasized the importance of TikTokers—who stood by her in her time of grief—continuing to check on her and visiting frequently.
