Francesca Tanmizi, who is more popularly known in Tik Tok as the mother to Baby Eve, published a series of videos about a “racist incident” that occurred in Grange Residences on 26 February 2022.
The incident involved an altercation with the security guard of a condominium, who Francesca referred to as a “racist boomer”. According to her, she was at the pool-side area at a friend’s condominium teaching kids how to ride the bicycle. At the material time, she noticed “a lot of people not wearing masks, or wearing their masks on their chins”.

When the security guard approached them, they were the only Asians in the vicinity. The security guard told Francesca that the children, who were cycling, needed to “mask up”. Fransceca herself was masked but the security guard took issue with the children.
She first informed the guard that her daughter was aged 2. She added that the girls were, in any event, cycling.
She also brought the guard’s attention to the fact that there were other people who were not wearing a mask around:
Right behind him, and right in-front of him, as you can see in the video, were 3 different white people who were not wearing masks.
They were not doing anything – not eating, not exercising. They were just sitting reading books and suntanning. They were not wearing a mask.
When she asked the guard if he was going to ask the rest of the people around to wear their masks too, the guard allegedly snapped and said “just co-operate” before leaving. He did not ask anyone else to wear their masks.
In a TikTok video, Franseca said that she was “really pissed off” by the guard’s actions, or lack thereof. In the text accompanying the video, she called the guard a “racist boomer”.

In an earlier video, which was viewed almost 150,000 times within 7 hours, she said that she was still “so shocked“. In her video, she noted that the guard “ignored all the YT people“. If you are like the many users in the comments section who didn’t know what YT referred to, try reading it out loud.

A few users on TikTok encouraged Francesca to report the matter to the MCST of the condominium. To which, she responded by saying “It’s the condo doing it”. We are unclear as to what she meant by that response. In response to another comment, she stated that the condominium where the incident occurred was located at 95 Grange Road.
