Alicia Silverstone had fans distraught earlier this week after showing herself on TikTok biting into a poisonous fruit and then disappearing from social media for what seemed like forever to fans (like half a day).

Thankfully, though, the actor updated the masses with a follow-up video and assured them she is okay.

In the first TikTok, Silverstone was moseying through the streets of England and stumbled upon some colorful looking fruit bushes in a stranger's yard.

She decided to help herself to some, even though she had no idea what they were.

Silverstone took to TikTok asking for viewer assistance to help identify the plant.

“OK, I’ve discovered something that I can’t figure out what it is and I need your help."

The Clueless star held up a tiny cherry tomato-looking fruit to the camera and explained:

“I just bit into it because it was on the street, and we were discussing whether this was a tomato or not.”

She continued, pointing the camera to the bushes.

“It’s definitely not because look at these leaves."
“Those are the leaves, so what the heck is this?”

Silverstone took another bite before concluding her TikTok:

“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.”

In the caption, the Aerosmith music video star wrote:

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

What the heck is this!? I’m in England and can’t figure it out. đŸ€”

Almost immediately, fans expressed their horror and alerted Silverstone that she had just bitten into a poisonous Jerusalem cherry.

Jerusalem cherries, also known as winter cherries, contain the poisonous ingredient solanocapsine which can cause abdominal pain, fever, headaches, nausea and even changes to one's vision.

The poison is found in all parts of the plant, but the unripe fruit and leaves contain the most.

Needless to say, fans shared their concern in the comments.

Lindsey Graham's Sister Hit With Hilariously Brutal Factcheck After Claiming She's 'Not Being Handed' His Senate Seat

Darline Graham, the sister of late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, was swiftly fact-checked after claiming that she's "not being handed" her brother's seat even though she quite literally was named to temporarily fill it.

Senator Graham died on the evening of July 11 after returning from an official visit to Ukraine. According to a preliminary finding from the medical examiner, shared by his office, Graham died after suffering an aortic dissection—a tear in the inner wall of the aorta—linked to hardening of the arteries.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
