Valeria Lukyanova, also known as ‘Human Barbie,’ is reportedly in recovery after being attacked on Halloween outside her Ukraine home.

Valeria Lukyanova Attacked Outside Her Home

Lukyanova claims she was attacked by two men outside her home on Friday night, though their intentions were unclear. “I was attacked by the entrance of my block of flats. I came back home from a shop with bags and entered the door code when two men rushed back from the dark and attacked me. They said nothing and did not try to rob me. It happened in a flash, they hit me on the head, several times on my jaw, then one of them began strangling me. If it wasn’t for my neighbor who suddenly appeared, I don’t know what would have happened. They saw her and ran away,” Lukyanova told reporters.

Lukyanova was taken to the hospital as a result of her injuries and was released on Tuesday, Nov. 4, sporting bandages around her head. Lukyanova appears to suspect the attack is tied to threats she has received over the past two years, since she became famous for being a Human Barbie.
