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

An OnlyFans and Instagram model has responded to claims 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 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 social media.

“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

Adryan Moorefield, from Dallas, has been holidaying in Puerto Vallarta and was due to fly back home on Sunday but is now trapped.

"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."
