New Mom & Influencer Fractures Her Spine Attempting The Nicki Minaj Pose Challenge

A Russian influencer named Mariana Barutkina is reminding everyone to be cautious while participating in viral trends.

The 32-year-old recently spoke out after injuring herself while attempting the viral “High School” challenge inspired by Nicki Minaj, which has been done by celebs like Ciara and Lupita Nyong’o.

In a video gone wrong, Mariana tried to balance herself in stilettos on a kitchen counter, using a saucepan and a canister of baby formula as props. But things quickly took a turn when she slipped and fell, later revealing she suffered a T9 compression fracture in her back, just weeks after giving birth.

Mariana gave the public an update on Instagram, sharing that both she and her newborn are doing fine.

Would you risk it all for a viral moment like this?
