Fans are concerned after the actress shared a TikTok of herself eating berries off a bush that may be poisonous, according to viewers.
In the video, Silverstone asks viewers to help her identify the fruit she found on the side of the road as she shows herself taking a bite from it. The fruit, which resembles a red berry or cherry tomato, has been identified by viewers to be the Jerusalem cherry, which is toxic to dogs and humans.
“I just bit into it because it was in the street and we were discussing whether this is a tomato or not. It’s definitely not, because look at these leaves. So, what the heck is this?!” she asks in the video.
She then picks one up and takes a bite out of it. “I don’t think you’re supposed to eat this, but it’s almost like a pepper? Does anyone know what this is? I don’t know what this is,” she says. “I need someone to tell me, I’m in England. Thank you!”
About an hour after sharing the video, Silverstone shared something to her TikTok story from designer Christian Siriano, however she has not posted an update on social media since then, raising alarm for fans everywhere.
Commenters flocked to the video, which now has 1.7 million views. “WOMAN! UPDATE US. ARE YOU ALIVE AND WELL?!” one viewer commented on her TikTok.

“So she’s actually clueless,” another viewer joked.
Others were more so shocked that she ate fruit from what appears to be someone’s fenced-in yard.
“Why would ANYONE eat random, unknown things from the street?!?” one fan demanded.
According to MedlinePlus , a website from the National Library of Medicine, Jerusalem cherry belong to the same family as nightshade. Poisoning can occur within 8-10 hours.
Symptoms include abdominal pain, fever, delirium, hallucinations, nausea, diarrhea and more.
Decider reached out to Silverstone’s reps for an update on her health but did not hear back in time for publication.
