The trio submerged their feet in buckets of ice and salt for 15 minutes.
They claimed they began to suffer from severe burns immediately after the endurance test.
The incident took place during a reality show organised by singer Anderson Neiff at his home in Recife, Brazil, on 6 April.
He produced the ‘N1 Influencers’ series for social media, where contestants stay in his house and take part in organised games and challenges.
MC Thammy – who has 1.9m Instagram followers – said: “If I kept my feet in the bucket for a few more minutes, I could have lost my foot.

“I was so scared.
“I didn’t realise I was hurting myself during the challenge.
“Who in their right mind would injure themselves for money?

She added: “BRL 100,000 (£15,508) will not buy me a new foot!”
The model and dancer called the experience “the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced in my life”.
MC Thammy, also known as Thammy Caroline, explained: “When I took my feet out of the ice, I felt pain like I’ve never known before.
“Three toes on my foot were black, like there was no blood circulation.
“They looked like they were frozen, I couldn’t move them.”
The three influencers have now mostly recovered from their injuries and are not expected to suffer any long-term issues.
Anderson Neiff has apologised for the incident and vowed to cover the trio’s medical costs, as reported by Need to Know.
