A family was shocked to discover that a woman’s newborn baby was actually a doll. Kira Cousins, from Airdrie, Scotland, was accused of wearing a fake baby bump, pretending to give birth, and sharing images of a Reborn baby doll named Bonnie-Leigh Joyce. She announced the “birth” of her “daughter” on social media, providing details such as weight and hosting a gender reveal party. However, her deception was exposed when the doll was found in her bedroom.
Messages allegedly sent by Kira indicated that she had informed the baby’s supposed father that the baby had passed away. Kira declined to comment when approached by the media. A friend of the family expressed disbelief but mentioned suspicions about the authenticity of the pregnancy from the start, labeling Kira as a habitual liar.
Reborn dolls, like the one used in this incident, can be bought at varying prices. The friend who raised concerns about the pregnancy noted discrepancies in Kira’s appearance and behavior that hinted at the deception but refrained from speaking out earlier due to fear of backlash.
