A Russian influencer\u2019s attempt at going viral ended with a trip to the hospital and a fractured spine after she took on the viral Nicki Minaj \u201cHigh School\u201d pose TikTok challenge.<\/p>\n
Mariana Barutkina, a 32-year-old mother and content creator, was reportedly only eight weeks postpartum when she decided to recreate the global icon<\/a>\u2018s squatting pose from the 2013 music video<\/a>. The iconic pose has taken over TikTok, with celebrities like Ciara, Angela Simmons, Porsha Williams and more getting involved.<\/p>\n In the now-viral Instagram post shared last month, Barutkina is seen attempting the pose in stilettos on her kitchen island, atop two cans of baby formula and a saucepan. A woman was standing nearby to help, but after Barutkina lost her balance, she went down hard, crashing to the floor as the camera kept rolling.<\/p>\n \u201cTREND OR WHOLE BELL?\u201d she captioned the video (translated from Russian), later revealing she suffered an \u201cuncomplicated compression flexion fracture\u201d of the spine. It was meant to be her first shoot for a new blog, but instead, she ended up leaving the doctor\u2019s office with an injury.<\/p>\n \u201cI decided to start blogging, the first content shooting \u2013 and here I am leaving the doctor diagnosed with \u201cT9 compression bending uncomplicated fracture of the body<\/a>\u201d she explained. \u201cThe irony? Karma? Or just life, which always tests our strength at the most unexpected moment.\u201d<\/p>\n Though Barutkina has opted out of doing press about the accident, she\u2019s fully aware of her newfound fame. In another post showing all of the attention she\u2019d gotten from media, she wrote: \u201cBecause of one video, which was unsuccessfully filmed, I woke up a popular person. More than 50 people sent me my reel from different publications today\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cP.S. There will be no reports and communication with journalists!\u201d she declared. \u201cWhoever worries about my child is also calm, he has two nannies and while I was filming one of them was with him.\u201d She did thank all of her supporters for making her \u201cpopular\u201d and for their concerns and comments. \u201cI\u2019m doing great, following the guidelines and now living in \u2018star\u2019 status,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n Take a look at the shocking video above and other celebrities hitting the challenge below.<\/p>\n More from VIBE.com<\/p>\n Sign up for Vibe’s Newsletter<\/a>.
