A peculiar video has surfaced featuring Kira Cousins partaking in a gender reveal event for a baby that is purportedly non-existent. The footage, shared by a friend of Kira, captures the moment when confetti is released, showering pink onto the floor. Kira appears elated, embracing her partner with what seems like genuine happiness. However, it later came to light that this event was just one of several alleged schemes orchestrated by the 22-year-old to deceive her partner, family, and friends into believing she was pregnant.
According to friends, Kira, hailing from Airdrie, Scotland, went to great lengths to maintain the illusion, including wearing a fake baby bump and using a lifelike reborn doll to convince others that she had given birth to a baby girl named Bonnie-Leigh.
In a TikTok montage that garnered over three million views, Kira’s friend, Naeve McRobert, accuses her of orchestrating the entire charade. McRobert shares various photos and clips, detailing instances where Kira wore the fake bump to events, shared photos of baby clothes, and flaunted an expensive pram gifted by her family in anticipation of the baby’s arrival. Kira also informed her loved ones that the unborn baby had health issues.
The narrative takes a bizarre twist with a video reportedly showing the “fetus” moving inside Kira’s stomach. Kira allegedly announced the birth of her daughter on social media, only to be exposed when her mother discovered the “baby” unresponsive in her room, revealing it to be a reborn doll designed to resemble a real infant.
Social media reports suggest that Kira’s boyfriend believed he was going to be a father, but Kira prevented him from attending any supposed prenatal appointments. She also allegedly claimed that her boyfriend and his family were unhappy about the pregnancy, believing that they were not ready to raise a child together.
Months later, following the alleged “death” of Bonnie-Leigh, Kira informed the man she claimed was the baby’s father that their child had passed away. In messages sent to him, Kira requests his presence to explain the situation, revealing the truth about the fabricated baby.
McRobert mentioned noticing that Kira had deleted all traces of Bonnie-Leigh from their conversations. When questioned, the baby’s supposed father confirmed that Bonnie-Leigh was indeed a doll. McRobert expressed disbelief at the elaborate deception and the emotional impact on those who were misled by Kira’s elaborate hoax.
In a statement shared on TikTok after facing widespread backlash, Kira acknowledged that her mother discovered the truth about the doll and reassured that she was not let off the hook by her family or her partner’s family.
