Scottish Woman’s Alleged Pregnancy Exposed as Reborn Doll Hoax After Viral TikTok

Overview

• A relative, Neave McRobert, posted a viral TikTok identifying the supposed newborn as a reborn doll, prompting widespread media attention.
• Family members grew suspicious because the baby never cried and no one was allowed to hold it, and Kira Cousins’s mother later found the doll in her room.
• Over months, the 22-year-old shared ultrasound images, belly‑kicking videos, and a gender‑reveal, with claims the baby had a heart defect.
• On October 10 she announced the birth of Bonnie‑Leigh Joyce at 2.3 kg as friends and family purchased items including a pricey pram and a car seat.
• After being confronted, she allegedly told the reported father the baby had died, deleted media from chats, and later said on TikTok she would explain when ready, while no official birth records or police reports have been noted.
