Alicia Silverstone provides update to fans after sparking health concerns with bizarre video

Clueless star Alicia Silverstone sparked fears for her wellbeing after a deadly detail was spotted in her latest TikTok, and now, the actress has shared an update.

90s movie icon Alicia Silverstone has issued a health update after posting a concerning video of herself on TikTok.

Silverstone, whose best known for starring in the cult comedy Clueless, took to the social media app with a bizarre clip of herself on Tuesday, which showed her eating an unknown fruit she found on a bush in someone’s front yard while exploring London. It was soon determined the food she ingested was a form of deadly nightshade that can be poisonous to humans.

It sparked widespread fears among her followers, but Silverstone has since taken to X to confirm she’s “alive and well”.

Sharing a photo of herself from a glam photoshoot, the actress also slipped a cheeky double entendre into her caption.

In the original clip, Silverstone could be seen biting into the fruit and showing its innards to the camera before asking her followers to help identify it.

She then took another bite, before the video ended with her thanking fans in advance for their assistance.

What Silverstone clearly didn’t realise is that the fruit in question, which resembled a cherry tomato, appeared to be toxic.

“OK, I’ve discovered someone that I can’t figure out what it is and I need your help,” says the star.

“I just bit into it because it was on the street and we were discussing whether it’s a tomato or not but it’s not because look at these leaves. If I bite it … I don’t think you’re supposed to eat this? It’s almost like a pepper. Can someone tell me what it is? Thank you!”

According to Queensland Poisons Information Centre: “All parts of the plant are poisonous, especially the unripe fruits. If plant or fruit is eaten, early symptoms can include fever, sweating, vomiting, stomach pain, headache and increased heart rate. Symptoms are delayed for several hours and can persist for days.”

Eating a whole un-ripe fruit can be fatal to both pets and humans, the warning added.

Worried fans rushed to the comments to share their concerns for the seemingly blissfully unaware movie star and ask whether she was still feeling alright.

“This was five hours ago … can you confirm you’re OK, you’ve not posted,” wrote one worried follower.

“They can be fatal,” claimed another fan. “Please let us know you’re OK!”

Another commented: “This is so scary, are you alright??” while a fourth panicked follower said: “Why on earth would you eat something without knowing what it is?!”

“OMG NO!! It’s a Jerusalem cherry, very poisonous in the Nightshade family. Hope you are OK!” wrote another.
