OnlyFans model, Maria Julissa, has denied leading Mexican authorities to the country’s most notorious cartel leader, El Mencho, that ultimately led to his death, and plunged at least 20 states into unrest.
Maria Julissa said the rumours about her link to the capture and eventual death of drug boss El Mencho are “false”.
Mexican OnlyFans model, Maria Julissa, who is at the centre of chaos in the country following elusive cartel leader El Mencho’s death, has denied being his girlfriend and leading the police to his hideout. The 25-year-old said that she had nothing to do with the authorities, capturing Mexico’s most notorious cartel boss, who eventually died in the crackdown. “I want to make it absolutely clear: I have nothing to do with that situation,” she wrote on Instagram, where she has 3.6 million followers.
Julissa is alleged to have been the girlfriend of New Generation Jalisco Cartel boss Nemesio ‘El Mencho’ Oseguera Cervantes after authorities said they tracked the movements of one of his girlfriends to a resort compound. They further said that they were able to identify a man close to the woman and discovered that she had been taken to a mountainside getaway community in Jalisco where El Mencho and his men were found. Though the said girlfriend had left the place, the cartel boss and his men remained there. The discovery led to a massive gunfight between El Mencho’s men and the Mexican military, ultimately leading to his and his associates’ death.
Julissa, however, said that the information circulating on social media regarding her involvement is “false and lacks foundation”. “I ask that you all not fall for fake news and always look to reliable sources and officials,” her statement read.
Though the OnlyFans model did not directly mention the capture and killing of the cartel leader, she said that the rumours could “cause a lot of harm”. “I am grateful to those who have taken the time to ask me directly and to those who have offered me their support,'” she added.
It remains unclear how her involvement came to the limelight, even as social platforms remain filled with her pictures linked to the Mexico cartel chaos.
The death of El Mencho triggered a series of violence in at least 20 states of Mexico, with gunmen torching cars and blocking highway, including Jalisco.
The late cartel boss’s criminal outfit, Jalisco New Generation Cartel (JNGC), is known for beheadings and burning people alive, and had also emerged as a major trafficker of illicit drugs to the US.
Furthermore, the military crackdown came amid severe pressure from US President Donald Trump’s administration on Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government to tighten its actions against drug lords. America had offered USD 15 million reward for information leading to El Mencho’s capture or conviction.
