A recent clip of Miranda Cosgrove's guest appearance on Whitney Cummings' "Good For You Podcast with Whitney Cummings" has gone viral on TikTok. User @miliynamegosha posted the three-minute clip of Cosgrove relating a crazy story about how she avoided an attempt on her life by a strange man who ended up offing himself after waiting for her to return home for six hours.

Cosgrove, who is best known for starring in Nickelodeon's "i-Carly" and its 2021 reboot as the titular Carly, had previously been the subject of a TikTok trend where she claimed to actually curse in her daily life and that her favorite curse word was " probably fuck."

However, what TikTok users are seizing upon now is that the short clip was actually from the same podcast interview where Cosgrove shared the much crazier story about the man who died on her property. Strange what people end up gravitating towards!

According to Cosgrove, after going on a bad date with a man wearing "your everyday zebra jeans" at ArcLight Cinema, she decided to return to her parents' home instead of her own. Meanwhile, a strange man had been breaking onto her property and burying items in her backyard, including a lunchbox with a milk chocolate and knives, all week. Unbeknownst to her, on the day of her bad date, this strange man had broken into her property once again and had been lying in wait for her to return. When another woman drove past in a similar car to Cosgrove's the man shot at the car six times, missing the driver, and then set himself on fire before shooting himself on her front lawn. Cosgrove would later receive a police call about it that night at three A.M.

Setting aside that Cosgrove describe the above proceedings with the calm of a person relating the goings-on of a pleasant Sunday afternoon, we're just surprised that this crazy story is only surfacing now - The original podcast interview was uploaded to YouTube on August 14, 2020. Perhaps, we were all just too distracted by the idea of a Nickelodeon child star swearing to process that she once narrowly escaped being the victim of a violent crime. We're glad that Cosgrove ultimately came out of the harrowing situation alright.
