AN influencer mum has broken 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.

The “Stiletto Challenge” has become a viral sensation on social media, where participants try to replicate the iconic pose from Nicki Minaj’s “High School” music video.

The rapper is filmed beside a swimming pool in stilettos, crouching with one leg crossed over the other.

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 flexion fracture 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.”

This mishap occurs shortly after two influencers faced arrest for sharing a TikTok video of themselves posing in front of a burning Russian facility, which was hit by a Ukrainian attack.

A drone dramatically exploded the military-linked Rosneft-Kubannefteprodukt oil depot in Sochi.

TikTokers Dasha Vladimirovna, 21, and Karina Evgenyevna, 19, were filmed rapping in front of the burning facility.

They are captured in footage glorying in the Ukrainian strike which Putin’s air defences failed to prevent.
