‘So sorry’: Influencer comes clean on fake pregnancy scandal as gender reveal footage resurfaces

In a since-deleted Instagram story, Scottish influencer Kira Cousins has admitted she fabricated an entire pregnancy, including fake ultrasound scans, messages, and even a “reborn doll” she passed off as her newborn. Meanwhile, footage from Cousins’ gender reveal, attended by the father of the supposed child, Jamie, has resurfaced online.

In her post, the popular influencer who gained thousands of followers posting about her pregnancy said, “I’m so sorry. I wasn’t pregnant. There was no baby. I made it up and kept it going way too far.” She went on to say she faked the scans, and furthered the illusion that the baby was real after she said she gave birth alone. Cousins subsequently announced the child died from a heart problem. Reports have also now emerged alleging that Cousins faked a pregnancy before.
