The internet really woke up and said, “You know what this influencer needs? A full narco-thriller storyline.” Enter Maria Julissa. Model, influencer, professional selfie curator, and according to wild online rumors? Secret undercover mastermind who led soldiers straight to notorious drug lord El Mencho.
Yes, that escalated quickly.
One minute she’s posting glam shots, the next minute social media detectives are acting like she personally handed over GPS coordinates and said, “He’s behind the cactus. Go get him.”
The rumors spread fast. Faster than free Wi-Fi at a cafe, but María? She said absolutely not.
She has shut it down. And honestly, imagine minding your business and suddenly being accused of toppling a cartel boss. That’s not a normal Tuesday.
A banner hung from a bridge in Zapopan, Jalisco, called Julissa a ‘b***h’ and claimed that she ‘sent the marine’ after the cartel.
It also accused her of ‘biting the hand that fed [her],’ alluding to a rumored but denied relationship with the cartel boss.
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, better known as El Mencho, was captured by Mexican special forces on Sunday.
The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) leader died in custody shortly after being seized, plunging at least 20 states into wild unrest.
The drug kingpin’s group – known for beheadings and burning people alive – appeared to have signed the banner with its initials.
Julissa, who has 3.5 million followers on social media, denied any connection to El Mencho. She said Monday that she ‘has nothing to do with this situation.’
Writing in Spanish, Julissa added that the ‘information circulating’ about her was ‘false and unfounded.’
The model added that the rumors ‘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,’ Julissa added.
The Mexican influencer also urged her followers to ‘not fall for fake news’ and called the allegations ‘totally false.’
So now we have an influencer denying she played secret agent in a cartel takedown, a headline that sounds like a telenovela and an internet that refuses to calm down.
Sometimes, a model is just a model, and sometimes, the internet just really needs a hobby.
