Social media users slammed the first-time mum for prioritising fame over caring for her newborn
AN influencer mum has b.r.o.k.e.n her spine after taking part in the viral “Stiletto Challenge” inspired by Nicki Minaj.
Mariana Barutkina, 32, tried to balance on a jar of baby food on top of an upturned saucepan – all while wearing sky-high stilettos.
Footage shows the mum attempting the contortion on her kitchen island before tumbling backwards onto the ground.
It comes as the “Stiletto Challenge” has gone viral on social media, a stunt which involves recreating the famous pose in Nicki Minaj’s “High School” music video.
The rapper is seen squatting with one leg crossed over the other while wearing stilettos next to a swimming pool.
Mariana, a nail beautician from Yekaterinburg, Russia, said she attempted the stunt just eight weeks after giving birth.
She said: “I decided to start a blog, my first content shoot – and here I am leaving the doctor’s with a diagnosis.
“Irony? Karma? Or just life, which always tests our strength at the most unexpected moment.”
The mum-of-one was left with a compression f.l.e.x.i.o.n f.r.a.c.t.u.r.e to her spine – forcing her to wear a corset for three months.
The video has gone viral in Russia, with many hitting out at the first-time mum for prioritising fame over caring for her newborn.
One commented: “Irony? Karma? Stupidity and courage,” posted one follower.
“To live to 32, have children, but not gain intelligence – you have to try really hard,” said another.
Meanwhile a third said: “What kind of upbringing will a child receive from such a blogger?
In response to the outpouring of criticism Maria said she had two nannies to help care for her child.
She said: “Because of one video, which was poorly filmed, I woke up as a popular person.
“People, thank you for the popularity, for your concerns and for your comments.
“I am doing great, I am following the recommendations and now I live in the status of a ‘star’….
“For those who are worried about my child, I will also reassure you, he has two nannies and while I was filming, one of them was with him.”
The botched stunt follows a Ukrainian strike in which two influencers were arrested for sharing a TikTok of themselves posing in front of a b.u.r.n.i.n.g Russian facility.
The Rosneft-Kubannefteprodukt oil storage in Sochi, which has ties to the military, was dramatically d.e.s.t.r.o.y.e.d by a drone.
TikTokers Dasha Vladimirovna, 21, and Karina Evgenyevna, 19, were filmed rapping in front of the b.u.r.n.i.n.g facility.
They are captured in footage glorying in the Ukrainian strike which Putin’s air defences failed to prevent.
