A popular food influencer with over two million TikTok followers has alleged that she was drugged and kidnapped at a Hollywood premiere party four years ago. Meredith Hayden, known online as Wishbone Kitchen, spoke publicly about the incident in a video response to criticism over her travel anxiety.
Hayden, 30, said she was 'roofied' at the party, referring to being unknowingly drugged with a date-rape drug such as Rohypnol. She stated that she tried to leave after feeling unwell but was 'pushed into their car and kidnapped for, like, a few hours.' She did not report the incident to police, citing an invitation that assured attendees cameras would be off.
The chef explained that she initially stayed silent to avoid being labelled the 'roofie kidnap girl' as her online following grew. She said she 'shoved the feelings down' and eventually sought help for PTSD, anxiety, depression, and agoraphobia. Hayden rose to fame in 2022 with her 'Day in the Life' vlogs as a private chef in the Hamptons and now has nearly four million followers across Instagram and TikTok.
Hayden recently posted about her 30th birthday trip to Tokyo, acknowledging that despite nice hotels, she still feels anxious in crowded spaces. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
