Fans Request An Update After ‘Clueless’ Actress Posts Video Of Herself Eating ‘Poisonous’ Berries

Actress Alicia Silverstone’s followers are begging for her to provide an update after she posted a TikTok video of herself ingesting what appears to be poisonous berries on Monday night.

The video caption says, “What the heck is this!? I’m in England and can’t figure it out.”

Silverstone shared the clip of herself walking the streets of London and foraging a yellow berry out of someone’s yard. “OK, I’ve discovered something that I can’t figure out what it is and I need your help,” the 47-year-old actress began.

She held up the small orange-red fruit and continued, saying, “I just bit into it because it was on the street, and we were discussing whether this was a tomato or not.”

“It’s definitely not because look at these leaves,” Silverstone said while including a shot of the bush she plucked the berry off of. “Those are the leaves, so what the heck is this?”

The “Clueless” star took a bite of another berry and said, “I don’t think you’re supposed to eat this. It’s almost like a pepper. Does anybody know what this is? I don’t know what it is; I need somebody to tell me. I’m in England.”

Followers flooded the comments with messages of concern, pointing out that the berry she was questioning looked a lot like solanum pseudocapsicum, otherwise known as a “Jerusalem cherry” or a “winter cherry.”

This toxic nightshade species can cause symptoms including fever, sweating, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, and increased heart rate when ingested, especially when the fruit is unripe.

Symptoms may be delayed and persist for several days. While ingesting these berries is not usually fatal, death is possible. 

“WOMAN! UPDATE US. ARE YOU ALIVE AND WELL!?!” one popular comment says. 

Many others urged for a follow-up post, with one TikTok user writing, “Okay it is 7am in England, can you give us an update PLEASE. just a quick ‘hey I’m okay!’”

Plenty of other followers questioned Silverstone on her decision to eat something without having any idea what it was.

“Girl! berries are either great or freaking poisonous! Don’t eat rando bush-things,” one commenter wrote.

“More to the point- Why are you eating random things from someone’s garden?!” another follower agreed. 

“You bit into something you don’t know what it is? On the street!!?” a third echoed.

As of Tuesday morning, the actress had not posted any additional videos on TikTok.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
