UPDATE: Alicia Silverstone Says She Is Okay After Eating A Poisonous Fruit On TikTok Because "I didn’t swallow 😉😛"
So for those that missed it yesterday, I blogged about Alicia Silverstone going on TikTok to ask about a fruit she had just eaten out of some rando's garden in London, which was immediately pointed out as poisonous by countless commenters.
The entire internet was on pins and needles because it had been more than 24 hours since she had followed up to say whether or not she was fine. I've had a lot of weird beats to cover here on Barstool, including the annual Groundhog Day report of whether or not Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and a deep dive into the online world of Wank Battles. But covering the health of a woman that turned me and countless other boys into men in The Crush, the Aerosmith music video trilogy, and Clueless was not a beat I wanted, but I beat I accepted.
Luckily it turns out Alicia is just fine! Or at least she says she is!
Sure you can make a case that posting a random picture of yourself from a photo shoot or something on a video platform like TikTok seems like an extremely sus way to let people know you are okay. But again, I've wanted to believe that Alicia was just fine from the minute that evil Jerusalem cherry showed up in her life and in her mouth. The fact she threw a cheeky caption that could be read as an innuendo by people with their mind in the gutter is even better, not to mention becoming a cautionary tale for parents to tell their kids when those little idiots try to eat random berries off a tree they walk past.
So here's to Alicia's health! I can't believe I am blogging about Alicia Silverstone in 2024, which some could say is due to idiotically eating a poisonous fruit while others could say is due to brilliantly putting on a PR clinic on getting your name and TikTok out there with a viral stunt. But I won't complain about why it happened one bit after she gave me so many great memories back in the day.
