A peculiar video recently surfaced featuring Kira Cousins partaking in a gender reveal event for a baby that, according to reports, was not real. The video captured moments of confetti showering pink while Kira ecstatically hugged her partner, creating an illusion of joy. It was later disclosed that this event was just one of the many alleged deceptions orchestrated by the 22-year-old to convince her partner, family, and friends that she was pregnant.
Allegedly, Kira, a resident of Airdrie, Scotland, went to great lengths by donning a fake baby bump and utilizing a lifelike reborn doll to fabricate the existence of a baby girl named Bonnie-Leigh. In a TikTok video montage, viewed by millions, Kira’s friend Naeve McRobert exposed the staged nature of the reveal. McRobert presented evidence of Kira wearing a faux bump to a wedding, showcasing infant clothing, and flaunting an expensive pram purchased in anticipation of the baby’s arrival. Additionally, Kira falsely claimed that her unborn child had medical issues.
The bizarre tale took an even stranger twist with a video purportedly showing the “fetus” moving inside Kira’s stomach. Kira allegedly announced the birth of her daughter on social media in October, only to be caught in a lie when her mother discovered the “baby” unresponsive in her room, revealing it to be a reborn doll.
According to social media reports, Kira’s boyfriend was led to believe he was going to be a father, but Kira prevented him from accompanying her to supposed prenatal appointments. She also allegedly spread misinformation about her pregnancy, stating that her boyfriend and his family were not supportive due to the short duration of their relationship.
Months after the supposed birth of Bonnie-Leigh, Kira informed the man she claimed was the father that their baby had passed away. Messages exchanged between them suggested a fabricated story surrounding the baby’s death, causing immense distress to those who had been deceived by Kira’s elaborate ruse.
Responding to the widespread outrage, Kira posted a statement on TikTok acknowledging that her mother had discovered the truth about the doll. She emphasized that her actions were not condoned and that repercussions were forthcoming.
