A real-life ‘Barbie’ is accused of running a ‘sect’ and putting her followers at risk of poisoning.

Valeria Lukyankova – who has 2.5 million followers across several social media accounts – has suddenly this week closed a £13-a-month ‘club’ where she is alleged to have put her fans at risk with dangerous advice.

Known for years as the Ukrainian Barbie, she also styles herself as alien princess Amatue, and is facing a probe by the Russian police and prosecutors office despite being an avid Putin supporter.

Among the accusations against her is one that she has urged her followers to drink turpentine to rid their bodies of parasites.

Another claim is that she urged her female fans to breathe over mercury because ‘paranormal abilities and memory of past lives awaken’.

Women were also urged to ‘make tampons with tar and essential oil of grapefruit’ to make their sexual organs smaller, said a leading critic Katya Konasova, a blogger and Youtuber who specialises in exposing fake healers.

Lukyanova seeks to encourage women to rid themselves of ‘parasites’ that do not exist, said Konasova.

‘Turpentine is used in the chemical industry. It should not be used inside the human body,’ she said.

‘Lera [Valeria] is convinced that a scary either worm or octopus lives in everyone’s body, something with tentacles that destroys your will and dominates [you],’ she said.

‘If you got scared, don’t you fear – Lukyanova has a private club in which they will open your ‘third eye’ too.’

It is this private club Rex Deus that the wannabe Barbie has this week closed.

Lukyanova – now believed to be 37 – posted a rambling explanation: ‘Why did I close the Rex Deus club?

‘Rex Deus helped thousands of people to find themselves, to learn their mission, to learn how the world works, to master quantum technologies, and to apply them in daily life.

‘Every day I receive words of gratitude from the members of the club.

‘Despite this, I realised that I cannot do it anymore.

‘I have to share information with even more people.

‘We did a lot of research in rejuvenation in the recent years […] this information can not fit into the old club.’

One commenter said the real reason was that Konasova had exposed her.

Another said: ‘How do you sleep at night knowing that you poison people and scam them out of money?

‘So pretty but so rotten inside.’

One woman follower is highlighted saying that after following Lukyanova she ‘wanted to drink turpentine’.

‘I listen to myself now, and I am terrified,’ she said.

‘It saved me that I couldn’t find turpentine anywhere.

‘I tried her cocktails, not cocktails but smoothies, a garlic one, I literally vomited.

‘People mostly do it voluntarily, they sincerely believe [her] and are ready for anything….

‘People listen to [her advice] and put their lives at risk.’

An aide to this Barbie is called Anastasia who – despite having no medical education – is her proponent for cleaning the body of parasites.

Anastasia is also accused of threatening critics in the club, once saying: ‘If some bas**** says even a [negative] word regarding our cleansing, expresses doubt, I will flush you down the toilet, do you understand?

‘Or about me or Valeria.’

Konasova said: ‘What is scary, is that after these threats people are actually afraid to share the dark stuff that happens there.

‘This reminds me a lot of a sect.

‘Such sects should be banned and closed, so that Lukyanova and her accomplices stop making money from it.’

In 2014, Lukyanova arrived in Crimea to boost tourism to the region soon after it was annexed by Vladimir Putin.

‘I tend to cut off anything I don’t need,’ she said at the time.

‘The next step is to cut off Ukraine entirely, because all I get here is s***.

‘Why waste myself on this?’

She is now believed to be in Mexico.

For years, Lukyanova has denied having plastic surgery to create her distinctive looks – other than a boob job – while priding herself on her Barbie look which she put down to ‘Breatharianism’ – surviving on ‘cosmic micro-food’, otherwise known as air and light.

‘All genetics came to me from nature, except my breasts,’ she said.

‘I lost weight and, unfortunately, I have very small breasts.

‘I had to increase my size to feel like a normal girl.

‘But I didn’t subject myself to other plastic surgery.’

She claims to have out of body experiences which take her to other planets.

She explained: ‘I travelled to other planets, which are very far away.

‘They have not been discovered by our scientists, but they exist.

‘I communicated with extraterrestrial intelligence and beings and understood other universes.’

One commenter named Tatiana said: ‘The worst thing about Lukyanova’s sect is how it puts pressure on the psyche, keeping people at bay so they don’t tell anyone, advising dangerous things under the guise of health benefits.

‘As a healthy and seemingly sane person, I felt uneasy from what she was saying.

‘And at the same time, this is excellent bait for everyone who has various forms of eating disorders, because these people have a desire to cleanse themselves of everything ‘harmful’, and lose weight with all sorts of cleansing, despite the consequences for the body.’

Another called diamond2494 said: ‘I was in this sect and barely survived after such experiments.’

She followed Lukyanova’s advice and ended up with severe anaemia, she said.

Elon Musk did not vote in the 2022 midterm elections even though he urged his millions of Twitter followers to vote Republican. 

State voting records indicate the Twitter CEO abstained during the midterms in Cameron County, Texas where he is registered to vote. 

Musk, who claimed earlier this year he voted Republican for the first time in his life, urged his Twitter followers to do the same.

His November tweet came after he said in June he had voted for Flores, the first female Mexican-born American to serve in the House of Representatives, and the first Republican Musk had ever cast his ballot in support of. 

‘I voted for Mayra Flores,’ Musk said in May. ‘First time I ever voted Republican. Massive red wave in 2022.’ 

That support apparently waivered, as Musk abstained from voting in the most recent election. Flores, along with a slew of other Republicans in the border state, lost to Democratic opponents.

Voting records and a statement obtained by the Daily Beast found that the Chief Twit did not participate in the election, even after telling his 120 million followers to vote. 

Despite not voting, the Twitter CEO urged followers to do up until Election Day.

‘Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic,’ Musk tweeted on November 7.

‘In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican,’ Musk tweeted in May. 

The county election administrator where Musk is registered, however, told the Beast ‘based on our records, we do not have any indication that Mr. Musk participated in the November 2022 Election in Cameron County.’

The statement from the county’s election administrator comes months after Musk proudly stated he had voted for Flores in the special election in Texas’ 34th Congressional District. 

Flores won the bid earlier this year but later lost her re-election campaign to Democrat Vincente Gonzalez in November. 

The representative had been accused by many on the left of spreading QAnon conspiracy theories on social media. She later said she did not support QAnon after she had already deleted some of her comments indicating her support. 

Musk is registered in Cameron County, where SpaceX is based.

An official who spoke with the Daily Beast said Musk could not have voted in another county because it would have triggered the cancelation of his Cameron County registration.

Despite urging his followers to vote Republican and supporting Flores, the billionaire has insisted on multiple occasions that he is a centrist.  

Musk specifically has said he supports ‘the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party.’ 

‘Given unprovoked attacks by leading Democrats against me & a very cold shoulder to Tesla & SpaceX, I intend to vote Republican in November,’ he later said. 

Musk’s predication of a ‘red wave’ in May did not, however, come to fruition, as Republicans narrowly took back the House of Representatives last month. 

The ‘centrist’ claims by Tesla founder also come as he has repeatedly engaged in far-right conspiracy theories on the app he purchased earlier this year.   

In October, Musk tweeted a link to a conspiracy about the violent attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband, before later deleting it. 

Over the weekend, Musk also took aim at America’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, in a series of tweets, including one where he called for the doctor to be charged for his response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Musk joked in one tweet that his ‘pronouns are prosecute/Fauci.’

Another tweet posted by Musk showed the doctor’s face photoshopped into a meme, whispering ‘just one more lockdown, my king,’ to U.S. President Joe Biden.

Musk said: ‘Fauci lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people. Not awesome. imo.’ 

Fauci, when asked about the attacks from the Tesla and Twitter leader, said he simply tries to avoid and ignore Musk and others on the social media app. 

‘I don’t respond to him. I don’t pay any attention to him because that’s merely a distraction’ he said.
