Lillian Droniak, the 96-year-old social media star known as Grandma Droniak, claimed her retirement home threatened to kick her out for throwing late-night parties. The influencer, who has millions of followers, shared a video showing a formal warning letter from the facility. Despite the threat, she said she would keep having fun.
The Warning Letter That Started It All
Droniak posted a video on TikTok and Instagram on June 11, holding up a letter from her retirement home management. The letter said she would face eviction if she did not stop hosting parties.
“I’m getting kicked out of the nursing home. I just got this letter. It says you’re getting kicked out if you don’t stop the parties,” she told her followers.
The warning letter explained that noise complaints had been made about her room. It also said parties are not allowed and she cannot serve alcohol to other residents because it is a safety concern. The letter mentioned that security footage showed people leaving her room at 1 a.m. last Tuesday.
“While we encourage residents to socialize and enjoy community activities, we cannot have wild parties,” the letter read. It warned that continued incidents could lead to restrictions on visitors and a review of her residency status.
Droniak’s Defiant Response
The 96-year-old influencer did not take the warning quietly. In her video, she ripped up the letter and said she would continue her gatherings.
“I pay $12,000 a month to live here. I could party if I want,” Droniak said. She added, “My girlfriends are coming over tonight. We’re gonna drink and gossip. It’s not a party, but we do get rowdy.”
She ended her message with a clear statement: “I can’t help it. I love to party. You can’t stop me.”
The next day, on June 12, she posted another video showing herself looking into a mirror with a martini glass on her dresser. She wrote, “Hungover from last night’s party.” She also said, “My nursing home can’t stop me from partying through the last chapter of life.”
The Dispute Gets Resolved
A representative for Droniak confirmed to People magazine that the warning “actually happened.” However, they also said the matter has since “been resolved with her nursing home.”
The retirement home is now allowing her to have people in her room until late. The only change is that she cannot supply alcoholic drinks to her guests anymore. Her representative said the facility still cares for her and that people there love her.

Who is Grandma Droniak?
Lillian Droniak became famous with help from her grandson, Kevin Droniak. She first appeared on his YouTube channel in 2012 in a video called “Car ride with my crazy grandma.” She later went viral on TikTok with a video about her funeral rules. These rules were: “cry but not too much,” “bertha isn’t invited,” and “get drunk afterwards.”
Born in March 1930, she currently lives in a retirement home in Shelton, Connecticut. She is a widow whose husband passed away more than two decades ago after 47 years of marriage. She has three children, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
Before becoming an influencer, Droniak worked on the assembly line at Sikorsky Aircraft, a company that builds helicopters. She moved into the retirement home in 2024 after falling and breaking her leg. She told followers she needed assistance and did not want to fall again.
Today, Grandma Droniak has over 15 million followers on TikTok and more than 4 million on Instagram. Her Instagram bio describes her as a “celebrity and a 96-year-old grandma.” She only follows one person on the platform—her grandson Kevin.
Party Life Continues
Despite the warning, Droniak has not stopped her social activities. She celebrated her 96th birthday at the retirement home in March 2026. Her content now includes getting-ready videos, dating stories, and funny life advice from her nursing home.
She has turned retirement home life into entertaining content for her millions of fans. Her online presence shows that age does not have to limit fun or socializing. The retirement home has allowed her to keep having visitors late, and she continues to share her adventures with her followers.
