Actress Alicia Silverstone, 47, posted a video of herself eating a potentially poisonous Jerusalem cherry fruit, which can cause gastrointestinal and central nervous system symptoms if ingested, leading to concerns from fans.
Silverstone reassured fans that she is "alive and well" after the incident, expressed confusion about the fruit, and asked for help identifying it, which was later confirmed to be a potentially toxic Jerusalem cherry.
Fans warned Silverstone not to eat unidentified berries and referenced her role in "Clueless."
Despite being a vegan, Silverstone admitted that she could not recognize the fruit and was uncertain if it was edible.
Silverstone previously prompted anti-vaccine and anti-tampon views.
Silverstone has a line of organic supplements. She is set to star in the upcoming movie "Y2K" alongside Rachel Zegler, filmed in New Jersey.
