Streaming platforms have become the digital equivalent of gossip lounges, where every scandal, secret, and surreal twist finds its way to your screen, often leaving viewers questioning reality itself. Netflix, in particular, has perfected this art, curating tales so wild that the line between fact and fiction dissolves faster than a Reel scroll. Among these viral fantasies, whispers of a Bonnie Leigh documentary have emerged, teasing audiences with a story so bizarre it almost feels cinematic already.

While viewers binge in cozy corners of their apartments, the internet debates whether Bonnie Leigh’s story of dolls and deception belongs on screens or is just another digital fever dream.

No, there is no Bonnie Leigh documentary on Netflix, at least not yet. The viral rumor spiraled from social media after users discovered the jaw-dropping story of a woman named Kira Cousins who allegedly faked her pregnancy, staged hospital photos, and even used a lifelike baby doll named Bonnie Lee. The scandal’s bizarre mix of deception and drama led people to assume Netflix had already jumped on it, but that is pure fiction for now.

Still, it is easy to see why everyone is convinced it should be real. The story checks every box of Netflix’s favorite true-crime formula: scams, secrets, and psychological chaos. From fake maternity leave to alleged emotional manipulation, this tale of a baby doll masquerading as a newborn feels tailor-made for streaming screens. Until Netflix confirms anything, the Bonnie Leigh documentary remains a viral fantasy born from obsession with scandal.
