Woman who ‘faked’ having baby to entire family is doing documentary about saga

A woman who admitted that she pretended to be pregnant has revealed that she is doing a documentary to give her side of the story.

Kira Cousins, from Scotland, apologised to her followers on Instagram after she tried to pass off a silicone doll as her newborn, who she'd named Bonnie-Leigh Joyce.

The 22-year-old said she 'acted like a doll was a real baby' by wearing a prosthetic baby bump for months.

Her mum was the first to realise that the whole thing was fake after finding the realistic-looking doll in her bedroom.

On her Instagram page, she wrote: "I wasn’t pregnant. There was no baby. I made it up and kept it going way too far. I faked scans, messages, a whole birth story, and acted like a doll was a real baby.

"I know how f**ked up that is — I just didn’t know how to stop once I started."

Kira, who said she 'doesn't have a proper excuse', added: "Yeah, I wasn’t in a good headspace, but that doesn’t make what I did okay. I know this is going to stick with me for a long time, and that I’ve probably lost friends I’ll never get back.

"I’m trying to figure myself out and get help, because this version of me isn’t someone I want to be.

"I know I’ve ruined a lot of trust, and that 'sorry' won’t fix everything but it’s all I can say right now."

After an initial reluctance to tell her side of the story, it seems Kira is now on board with doing a documentary.

As reported by the Daily Record, she shared in a post on Sunday that she's 'signed with the reported production companies to make that happen'.

"At the moment I can’t post further details on the documentary, but will post updates when I can. It’s the only way to get everything out," Kira added.

Two Rivers Media managing director and executive producer, Alan Clements, said: "It is very early days in the process, but public speculation about the team behind the documentary has prompted us to step forward now.

"Once we have a platform as a partner, filming will start."

Clements admitted that the team is 'delighted that with the huge international interest around this story, Kira chose us'.

"Both Two Rivers and Soho Studios pride ourselves on bringing remarkable human experiences, told by the people who were at the centre of the action, to the screen," he added.

"We look forward to treating those involved, the issues and this story with the sensitivity they deserve."
