Family stunned after 23yo woman fakes pregnancy, birth, and even a gender reveal — for a plastic doll

Kira Cousins is a 23-year-old young woman from Scotland. She’s surrounded by a loving family, friends, and even followers on social media who seemingly just want the best for her and her… doll. Kira reportedly ran a ridiculous almost year-long ruse to convince them that the doll was actually a baby named Bonnie-Leigh Joyce.

Nobody in her inner circle understands why Kira would ever do this, but they would be lying if they said there weren’t signs. The first person to notice something strange was Kira’s friend Neave McRobert. Neave said the first strike was that nobody actually ever heard the baby cry, and even on their text chat, whenever Kira sent a video or photo of Bonnie-Leigh, she later deleted it. Which prompted her to ask Kira’s partner and “father” of the doll if Bonnie-Leigh is, in fact, a doll — to which he reportedly bravely responded, “Yes, it’s a doll.”
