Mariana Barutkina: Influencer breaks spine after ‘stiletto challenge' inspired by Nicki Minaj goes wrong
Mariana Barutkina, 32, attempted the challenge on a kitchen counter top, balancing on top of a jar of baby food stacked on a saucepan while wearing stilettos.
The challenge is inspired by Nicki Minaj's famous pose in the music video of her song High School.
In the video, the rapper is crouching in stilettos next to a swimming pool with one leg crossed over the top of the other, miraculously balancing.
Ms Barutkina, from Yekaterinburg in Russia, had given birth just eight weeks before she attempted the challenge.
Video footage of the accident went viral, showing her try the stunt before falling backwards off a kitchen counter-top and toppling to the ground.
The accident caused a compression flexion fracture in her spine,
The Sun
reported.
'I decided to start a blog, my first content shoot — and here I am leaving the doctor's with a diagnosis,' Ms Barutkina wrote on Instagram.
'Irony? Karma? Or just life, which always tests our strength at the most unexpected moment.'
The accident sparked outrage on social media, with many taking aim at her intelligence.
'I'm sorry, of course, but what do people have in their heads who repeat this trash? Which is immediately visible that it is dangerous to health! I wish you a speedy recovery!' one Instagram user commented.
'Well, you're all like teenagers climbing street signs, kindergarten,' another wrote.
'And she looked like an adult,' another user wrote.
Other fans wished her a quick and easy recovery.
'Wishing you a speedy recovery,' one user wrote.
Ms Barutkina took aim at social media users who questioned her fitness as a mother in a recent post addressing the attention her video gathered.
'Whoever worries about my child should also be calm, he has two nannies and while I was filming one of them was with him,' she wrote.
Some fans are calling for the trend to end, saying no one can beat Ms Barutkina.
'Get well soon, you can close the trend no one will beat you,' one Instagram user commented.

Bindi Irwin gives emotional health update after endometriosis surgery
Bindi Irwin has had her appendix and '51 endometriosis lesions' removed. The 27-year-old Australian star — the daughter of late Crocodile Hunter legend Steve Irwin — has given an update amid her long battle with endometriosis following her diagnosis in 2023, which came after a decade of chronic pain. She wrote on Instagram this week alongside a smiling selfie: '13 years of fighting for answers. '51 endometriosis lesions, a chocolate cyst, and my appendix were all removed across two surgeries with @seckinmd. 'My hernia from giving birth that was unzipping — was taken care of. 'I can FINALLY say that I'm feeling better. Genuinely healing.' Endometriosis is a disease where abnormal tissue grows outside the uterus. Irwin underwent emergency surgery in May, which meant she missed a gala honouring her father, who died in 2006. Now, she added that after her health struggles — which she's been very candid about with fans — she's finally able to 'function' again. 'I cannot express the gravity of my emotions as I am beginning to recognise myself again. 'I felt utterly ashamed as a teenager and young adult being told that my pain was just part of being a woman. 'I felt lesser. I felt hurt. I felt weak. That is not OK.' The conservationist and activist — who has daughter Grace Warrior, four, with husband Chandler Powell — is keen to get rid of the 'stigma' around conversations about women's health and health care. Bindi missed her late dad's annual gala in May after rupturing her appendix, and her brother Robert explained her absence at the time. He told People magazine: 'She's going to be OK, but surgery — out of all the things we were ready for, that was not one of them. She's just come out the other side of endometriosis and now the appendix goes. Health is so important — it really is.'
