Fans of Alicia Silverstone have voiced concerns after the actress posted a TikTok video in which she appears to eat a potentially poisonous fruit. In the video, Silverstone, known for her iconic role in the '90s film Clueless, is seen picking up an unidentified fruit from the ground in London and asking her followers for help in identifying it. She mentions that while she initially thought it was a tomato, it tasted more like a pepper.

Following the video, which was shared many hours ago, Silverstone has not posted any updates on her social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, X, or TikTok. This silence has led to increased worry among fans, especially after several viewers identified the fruit as a Jerusalem Cherry, which is known to be poisonous. One commenter warned, "Jerusalem Cherry… They are poisonous," while another questioned the decision to eat unknown fruit, asking, "Why would ANYONE eat random, unknown things from the street?!?"
Jerusalem Cherries are similar in appearance and taste to cherry tomatoes but can cause severe symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and stomach pain if ingested. In some cases, ingestion can even be fatal, although it is unclear how much is needed to cause severe harm.
As of now, there has been no confirmation regarding the type of fruit Silverstone consumed or any update on her condition. Fans are hopeful that she will provide an update soon, clarifying the situation and confirming that she is safe.
