Human Barbie influencer dies after 27 operations to look like doll

A 31-year-old influencer who had 27 operations to resemble a Barbie doll has passed away.

The police in Sao Paolo, Brazil, are said to be looking into the death of Barbara Jankavski after she was discovered dead inside a townhouse. They are awaiting a full autopsy and have declared the influencer’s death to be “suspicious.”

Jankavski was discovered on the property over the weekend, but the emergency services were unable to save her. This comes just a few days after Fernanda Oliveira da Silva, a second Brazilian influencer, was confirmed dead by the emergency services in Lago Verde.

Prior to her passing, a friend of the influencer had gone to the influencer’s friend’s house the same day. The friend reported to the police that Jankavski had earlier injured her eye. The influencer shocked fans just a few weeks ago with a selfie that revealed her surgery-related black eyes.

The injuries were a part of her facelift’s recovery. She said, “Day 3 of the facelift by @dr. aurilioluis @asanasal_dedivas improving way too quickly!” in the caption of the video where the black eyes were prominent. “Almost invisible scar” She added that the injuries appeared to be worse than they actually were.

The influencer reportedly made the estimated £42k look more like a Barbie from the real world. After beginning to document her surgery recovery process, she gained notoriety on social media.

She was known as Boneca Desumana, the Brazilian Portuguese for Inhuman Barbie, and had over 55k Instagram followers and over 344k on TikTok. In Brazil, she also appeared in a number of TV programs and advertising campaigns.

She hadn’t posted on TikTok since September 7th, where she posted a video about spending money, and hadn’t posted on Instagram’s main grid since October, where she posted a video of meeting another Brazilian influencer, Avos Da Razao.

Jankavski posted a lot about her surgeries
Jankavski extensively covered her surgeries on Instagram.

Fans’ hearts were broken by her passing. One person expressed, “I can’t believe it. I cherished you dearly. Bring peace to you. Another remarked, “I hope God welcomes you with open arms.” I’m sorry you’re gone. You lived a portion of the life you loved, which brings us a little relief.

This comes shortly after another influential person was discovered dead at her Brazilian residence. Family members discovered Fernanda Oliveira da Silva, also known as Fernanda Maroca, dead at her Lago Verde home on October 30.

Emergency services arrived at the home, but they were unable to save her. Silva turned 30 .

Rugby star Lewis Moody shares family update after heartbreaking MND diagnosis

After revealing the devastating news last month, former rugby union player Lewis Moody has since explained how his family is managing the diagnosis. The 47-year-old revealed just weeks ago that he had been diagnosed with MND, a neurological condition that affects the nerves that control movement. It is a life-shortening condition.

Dylan, 17 and Ethan, 15, are still “trying to understand it all,” Lewis said in a BBC Breakfast interview about how his family is handling the news.

He said, “Just to take a break from everything and enjoy some family time, especially with the boys.” They are still trying to comprehend it all because they are young. I’m hoping to sneak out there and watch him in the next few weeks because Dylan is currently playing football in Qatar, but it’s important to have that extra family time.

Lewis Moody spoke about his MND diagnosis on BBC Breakfast.

When questioned about whether he was experiencing any additional symptoms, Lewis responded, “Touch wood, physically, no not really. The hand and shoulder have a few minor symptoms, but your mind is the only thing that really affects you.

It persists, I say. Trying to put that in perspective by simply focusing on the things you love doing every day, feeling fulfilled, and putting your own energy into it.

After discussing Dylan’s football career with the England Under-17s, Lewis continued to address Lewis about his son. I’m overwhelmingly proud of him and everything he’s currently dealing with, but it’s sometimes difficult to show your pride and get caught up in this macho, male stuff, he said.

Being surrounded by his own supportive community, he still managed to crack on and be out there. Both the football team in his home state and the south are very supportive. As a family, we are incredibly fortunate and appreciative.

Lewis made a heartfelt return to Twickenham last week in preparation for England vs. Australia’s autumn opener. When Lewis said about delivering the match ball, “Playing for England was one of my life’s greatest pleasures.”

“Most importantly, I adored having the opportunity to work alongside some of the most ardent, devoted, and hardworking people I’ve ever met.

As a new challenge arises and we are embraced by this special community, those bonds and values are stronger than ever for me today. As a new generation of warriors prepares to pull on the jersey and inspire us with their accomplishments on Saturday, it will be a privilege to carry the match ball out.

“I’m truly appreciative of every player, England Rugby, and Rugby Australia,” my family and I said.

BBC One and BBC iPlayer start at 6am on weekdays.

Nicola Peltz breaks silence after David Beckham knighthood in stab at in-laws

After David Beckham’s knighthood, his son Brooklyn missed the ceremony, so Nicola Peltz Beckham broke her silence by sharing a sweet post with his sister.

As father David surpassed his knighthood ambition, Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham, both of whom were absent from Windsor Castle on Tuesday, were notable guests.

Although David had invited the entire family over, including his wife Victoria, his parents, Cruz, Romeo, and Harper, eldest son Brooklyn and Nicola did not attend the lavish gathering. The absent couple also didn’t participate in the thousands of social media messages David received about their success.

Brooklyn avoided the outpouring of love for his father, who was honored for his contributions to charity and sport, by choosing to stay completely away from his accounts. The separated couple chose to spend the day in London thinking about anything but Brooklyn’s family instead, miles away in their Los Angeles home.

Nicola has now taken to Instagram in her first post since David’s knighthood, but again failed to mention the momentous occasion. Instead Nicola reached out to her sister, who she remains on speaking terms with, Brittany Peltz.

Nicola thanked her sibling for the enormous amount of peonies she had, and thanked her. They are breathtaking. but forgot to mention the purpose of the flowers.

Despite David’s unsuccessful attempts to reach out to her and Brooklyn since June, it was reported this week that Nicola is still “not ready” to reconcile with her in-laws.

Victoria’s relationship with her son and his wife is also said to be peaceful. Attempts to reach a truce have all been unsuccessful so far, though.

The source stated that Nicole is “not ready to make nice.”

Nicola allegedly refused to wear a wedding gown that her mother-in-law had created, sparking the alleged family feud. The actress-model requested Victoria to design her bridal gown in 2022, but months before her big day, she realized she couldn’t do it.

Instead, Nicola made the decision to walk down the aisle wearing a Valentino couture gown. She never said you couldn’t wear it, nor did she say you didn’t want to. They then fled with that, according to Nicola, who described the feudal origin story.

Nicola mentioned her husband Brooklyn on the Tatler cover in 2022, claiming he had a difficult start in life.

Brooklyn was under a “lot of pressure to please people with his career,” according to Nicola, who claimed Brooklyn was now able to speak to her billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, for career guidance.

Brooklyn expressed his unwavering support for his wife earlier this year when he said he would “always choose her” in the midst of the family feud.

He and Nicola were notably absent from a number of recent family gatherings, including David’s celebrations for his 50th birthday.

Olympics legend Denise Lewis, 53, splits from husband after 17 year marriage

After 18 years of marriage, Dame Denise Lewis, a former Olympic gold medalist, has wed her music mogul husband Steve Finan. In a Tuesday Instagram post, the 53-year-old former athlete confirmed the news.

In a statement, Denise stated, “Steve and I decided to split up two years ago as a couple, after much thought and consideration.

After many meaningful years of dating, the couple made the decision with mutual respect and love.
“We continue to be appreciative of the time and the wonderful children they gave.”

We value the kindness and support our friends and family have given us over the past two years, and keeping a positive co-parenting relationship and putting our best interests at heart on the well-being of those we care about most matters a priority.

We appreciate your patience with this situation and as we progress.

In 2006, Denise Lewis and Steve Finan O’Connor (Niki Nikolova/FilmMagic) wed.

According to reports, Mr. Finan, 60, who served as the late Liam Payne’s manager for seven years, had left the Buckinghamshire home he shared with Denise and their three sons.

It’s a shame because they are both lovely people and have always been viewed as a wonderful couple, according to a source who spoke to The Mail on Sunday.

Steve and Denise simply found themselves stumbling apart from one another despite making the effort work.

They ultimately decided that ending their relationship was probably the best course of action.

During her run as a pundit for the BBC’s coverage of the 2024 Olympics, hip-hop star Denise was spotted without her wedding ring on air, and her social media accounts are bare of any images of her and Steve.

In the 2016 Christmas special, Denise Lewis danced with Anton Du Beke (BBC/Guy Levy), who also performed with Anton Du Beke.

Additionally, it appears that the two have unfollowed one another on social media.

Tom O’Connor’s son, Steve, and Denise met in 2000 through mutual friends at the Brit Awards, when he was then a pop manager looking after acts like Neneh Cherry and All Saints.

After Denise’s breakup with Belgian sprinter Patrick Stevens, the father of her daughter Lauryn, they reconnected and began dating.

In 2006, Denise stated, “I was still with Patrick when I first met Steve, and then we later met again, and it was sort of love at first sight.”

When Denise and her husband were approached about their split in November of 2024, Denise said she would not comment on their relationship but would not deny their separation.

At the time, Steve and a Denise spokeswoman declined to comment.
