OnlyFans model responds to claims she’s the girlfriend who led police to notorious cartel boss

Mexico’s most wanted drug boss, known as El Mencho, was killed on Sunday during a security operation

An OnlyFans and Instagram model has addressed brewing speculation on social media that she led Mexican police to a notorious cartel boss.

Mexico’s most wanted drug boss, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, who was the leader of the Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) drug cartel, was killed on Sunday (February 22) during a security operation.

Cervantes, known as El Mencho, was left seriously injured after a clash between his supporters and the army, and later died as he was being transported to the capital, Mexico City.

Following the drug cartel leader’s death, chaos has ensued in Mexico, with the CJNG setting cars alight, building roadblocks and attacking security forces.

Following online rumors and fake AI-generated images, model Maria Julissa took to social media to explain she has had nothing to do with the situation.

She also urged people not to take any notice of false headlines and to trust only reliable sources.

“I want to make it absolutely clear: I have nothing to do with that situation,” Julissa wrote on Instagram.

“The information going around is false and lacks foundation.

“I ask that you all not fall for fake news and always look to reliable sources and officials.”

Mexico’s Defense Secretary Ricardo Trevilla had previously explained that El Mencho was tracked down via a lover.

Details are currently unclear, but it’s believed agents identified a man close to the unnamed woman and discovered she had been taken to an area of Jalisco where El Mencho was also located.

Following the death of El Mencho, US tourists have been left stranded at airports due to canceled flights and violence that has ensued in several states.

“It was such a complete shocker, and it almost felt like being in the twilight zone,” he told CNN. “We’ve been to PV before and thought that this would be a no-brainer place to come and do a quick, easy beach vacation.”

Fellow American tourist Jim Beck has also been in Puerto Vallarta and was shocked to find ‘taxi cabs blown up all over town’ when he woke up for breakfast on Sunday morning.

Beck told CNN: “Then immediately, everyone was running down the street, screaming and yelling, and they told everyone to get back to their hotels.”

According to the BBC, the Mexican government have responded to the violent rise by deploying thousands of soldiers to affected states.

Trevilla said that an extra 2,500 troops had been sent to western Mexico on Monday, while 9,500 have been deployed overall since El Mencho’s death on Sunday.

In some states, vehicles, including cars and buses, were being set alight in the middle of the road, as were numerous businesses, while roadblocks have been strewn across the country, which Mexico’s Security Cabinet said a majority had been cleared.

Meanwhile, the US embassy has urged American tourists to seek shelter amid ‘ongoing security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity’.

They further advised citizens to ‘seek shelter and minimize unnecessary movements’ as well as ‘avoid areas around law enforcement activity’.
