Overview
- Kira Cousins, 22, from Airdrie, has acknowledged on TikTok that the child she showed relatives was a hyperrealistic Reborn doll.
- She has scheduled an Instagram Live for 4 p.m. local time today to apologize and provide a fuller explanation.
- She says the fabrication began after an abortion and accepts that she has no valid excuse for the deception.
- Across nine months she posted staged ultrasounds, hosted a gender reveal and a baby shower, and claimed to have delivered on 10 October.
- The scheme unraveled when her mother found the doll, after friends questioned why the baby never cried and were blocked from touching it, and one friend says she was told the baby had died.
