Someone check on Alicia Silverstone.
The 47-year-old “Clueless” star filmed herself eating a piece of fruit that has since been found to be poisonous, prompting fans to express concern for the actress’s well-being.
In her TikTok video shared on Monday, Silverstone said she had “discovered something I don’t know what it is and I need your help.”
“I just bit into it because it was lying on the street and we were debating whether it was a tomato or not,” she continued, holding the piece of fruit up to the camera.
Silverstone, who is vegan, said the fruit was “definitely not” a tomato because of the leaves on the plant.
“So what the hell is this? Because when you open it, this is what it looks like,” she said, pointing to a squashed fruit on the ground before biting into the piece in her hand.
“And when I bite into it – I don’t think it’s supposed to be eaten, but it tastes almost like a pepper?” said Silverstone. “Does anyone know what it is? I need someone to tell me. I’m in England. Thanks.”
Fans quickly realized that the fruit Silverstone was eating was a Jerusalem cherry.
According to Medline Plus, Jerusalem artichoke is poisonous and primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system. Symptoms of poisoning include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, hallucinations, headaches and paralysis.
Silverstone, who has over 4 million followers on TikTok, has not posted on social media since eating the fruit.
“Can someone tag me when we know she’s okay,” one fan wrote in the comments on the video.
“Is Alicia okay??? We need an update!” said another fan.
“LADY! UPDATE US. ARE YOU ALIVE AND WELL!?!” read another comment.
A fourth fan wrote: “AAM. It’s been 7 HOURS 😳 are you okay?? Because you took down most of part two.”
Other fans criticized Silverstone for eating the allegedly poisoned fruit.
“Even my kids know not to do that, Alicia,” one person said.
“This is called ‘it’s not yours. You shouldn’t touch it,'” wrote another.
Another user commented: “He just picks something he doesn’t know what it is and eats it.”
Another fan said, referring to her 1993 cult film, that Silverstone “obviously has no clue”.
The Post has contacted Silverstone’s representative for comment.
Silverstone became a vegan in 1998. In 2009, she published a vegan cookbook called The Kind Diet, in which she promotes a plant-based diet.
In 2022, Silverstone said in an interview on the Simply Vegan Podcast that the vegan lifestyle had “changed my life.”
“It was the best thing that ever happened to me,” she added.
