Fans are worried about the former Clueless star Alicia Silverstone after she filmed herself eating a seemingly poisonous berry. The actress has not been seen since!
Silverstone Eats Mystery Fruit
Silverstone, 47, took to TikTok on Monday to post a video of herself eating what fans think was a poisonous berry.
“I’ve discovered something, and I can’t figure out what it is, and I need your help,” Silverstone said in the video as she showed off a berry that looked like a cherry tomato.
“I just bit into it because it was on the street,” she added as she explained that she wanted to test out for herself if it was a tomato. Silverstone ended up concluding that it was “definitely not” a tomato because its leaves didn’t look like those of a tomato plant. It also appeared to have been grown on a bush, while tomatoes grow on vines.
“So what the heck is this?” she questioned to her 4.3 million followers.
Silverstone proceeded to show her followers that the inside of the fruit was filled with tiny seeds. She then admitted that she did not think she was “supposed to eat this.”
“It’s almost like a pepper,” she said as she chewed the mysterious fruit. “Does anyone know what this is? I don’t know what it is…I need someone to tell me.”
“I don’t think you are supposed to eat this. But it is almost like a pepper,” Silverstone concluded. “Does anyone know what this is, I need someone to tell me, I’m in England.”

“WOMAN! UPDATE US! ARE YOU ALIVE AND WELL!?!” someone else exclaimed.
Yet another fan ominously stated, “In Girl Scouts, I learned red is dead.”
