‘Clueless’ Star Alicia Silverstone Shares Update After Seemingly Eating Toxic Fruit

Alicia Silverstone is updating concerned social media users about her well-being after she posted a TikTok of herself appearing to eat a poisonous fruit earlier this week.

In a follow-up Instagram post on Tuesday,  the “Clueless” star joked, “Alive and well! Don’t worry… I didn’t swallow 😉😛.”

Instagram users flooded her comments section with relieved words after Silverstone announced she had thankfully cheated death.

“Glad you’re ok,” someone wrote.

Another commented, “Yeah we were worried honey 😥.”

“WHEW!!! I was stressin’!!! Glad you’re alive and well!” someone else added.

Just a day before, Silverstone alarmed her 4 million-plus followers when she filmed herself holding a small orange-colored fruit and taking a bite out of it. At the time, she asked her fans for help identifying the mystery fruit.

“Ok, I discovered something that I can’t figure out what it is, and I need your help,” the actress said in a TikTok on Monday while walking the street in England. “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.”

“So, what the heck is this? Because, when you open it up, it looks like that,” she continued, showing off the squashed fruit on the ground. “And if I bite it — I don’t think you’re supposed to eat this — but it’s almost like a pepper? Does anyone know what this is?”

TikTok users sprang into Silverstone’s comments section at the time with speculations that the miniature fruit was a Jerusalem cherry, which is poisonous.

Eating a Jerusalem cherry can cause symptoms including fever, sweating, vomiting, stomach pain, headache and an increased heart rate, according to the Queensland Poisons Information Centre . The symptoms can last days, and may even lead to death.
