El Mencho: OnlyFans Model Denies Links to Cartel Leader’s Death

The death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), has been followed by a wave of online speculation linking a social media influencer to the events surrounding his demise. María Julissa, a model and content creator, has publicly denied allegations that she aided authorities in locating the drug lord.

Rumors circulating on social media platforms claimed Julissa was romantically involved with El Mencho and allegedly provided information that led to his capture and subsequent death. Julissa addressed these claims directly on her Instagram account, stating, “I want to take a moment to clarify a situation that I think is important to address directly and transparently… I want to produce it absolutely clear: I have nothing to do with that situation.”

She further emphasized the lack of factual basis for the reports, urging her followers not to share unverified content. “The information that is circulating is false and unfounded. I ask that you do not share content without verifying it and do not believe any publication you observe on social networks. Disinformation can cause a lot of damage,” she wrote. Julissa also encouraged her audience to rely on trustworthy and official sources for information.

María Julissa has 3.5 million followers on Instagram, where she shares aspects of her personal life, including her relationship with streamer and YouTuber Stiven. She also maintains a secondary Instagram account, where she posts content related to her passion for baseball.

Details surrounding El Mencho’s death remain limited. Recent reports indicate that Mexican authorities utilized intelligence, including information obtained through a close associate of his lover, to locate the CJNG leader. The operation involved collaboration with U.S. Intelligence agencies, according to CNN.

The killing of El Mencho raises questions about the future of the CJNG, one of Mexico’s most powerful and violent criminal organizations. Homeland Security Today reported that the cartel’s structure and operations are now under scrutiny as authorities assess the potential for fragmentation or a power struggle within the organization.

As of February 24, 2026, Mexican authorities have not released further details regarding the investigation into El Mencho’s death or the ongoing efforts to dismantle the CJNG.
