Somebody check on Alicia Silverstone.
The โCluelessโ star, 47, recorded herself eating a piece of fruit that has since been identified as poisonous, leading fans to express their concerns for the actressโ well-being.
In her TikTok video shared Monday, Silverstone explained that sheโs โdiscovered something that I canโt figure out what it is and I need your help.โ
โI just bit into it because it was on the street and we were discussing whether this was a tomato or not,โ she continued while showing off the piece of fruit to the camera.
Silverstone, who is vegan, said the fruit is โdefinitely notโ a tomato because of the leaves on the plant.
โSo, what the heck is this? Because, when you open it up it looks like that,โ she said, showing a squashed fruit on the ground before biting into the piece in her hand.
โAnd if I bite it โ I donโt think youโre supposed to eat this, but itโs almost like a pepper?โ Silverstone said. โDoes anyone know what this is? I need someone to tell me. Iโm in England. Thank you.โ
Fans quickly identified that the fruit Silverstone ate was a Jerusalem cherry.
According to Medline Plus, the Jerusalem cherry is poisonous and primarily affects the gastrointestinal and central nervous system. Poisoned symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, hallucinations, headache and paralysis.
Silverstone, who has over 4 million followers on TikTok, has yet to post on social media since eating the fruit.
โcan someone tag me when we know sheโs OK,โ one fan wrote in the comments of the video.
โIs Alicia ok??? We need an update!โ another fan said.
โWOMAN! UPDATE US. ARE YOU ALIVE AND WELL!?!โ a different comment read.
A fourth fan wrote, โAAM. Itโs been 7 HOURS ๐ณ are you okay?? Cause like you took most of the second one down.โ
Other fans criticized Silverstone for eating the alleged poisoned fruit.
โEven my kids know not to do this Alicia,โ one person said.
โThatโs called a itโs not yours. You shouldnโt touch it,โ someone else wrote.
Another user said, โwho just picks something they donโt know what it is and eats it.โ
A different fan said Silverstone is โclearly clueless,โ referencing her iconic 1993 movie.
The Post has reached out to Silverstoneโs rep for comment.
Silverstone became a vegan in 1998. She released a vegan cookbook in 2009 called โThe Kind Diet,โ where she promoted a plant-based diet.
In 2022, Silverstone said in an interview on the โSimply Vegan Podcastโ that becoming vegan โchanged my life.โ
โIt was the best thing that ever happened to me,โ she added.
