Maria Julissa Breaks Silence: Model Denies Links to 'El Mencho' as AI Audio and Viral Rumors Spark Death Threats

maria julissa has publicly rejected claims linking her to Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias 'El Mencho', and warned that circulating material could put her at risk. The Sonoran influencer's denial follows a wave of social media rumors, an alleged audio message naming her as a betrayer, and fast-spreading images and montages whose authenticity remains unclear.

Maria Julissa denies involvement and warns of digital manipulation

The 25-year-old creator from Sonora issued a message on her social accounts rejecting any relationship with the CJNG leader and asking followers to report false content. She stressed that she has nothing to do with the investigated events and that manipulated or digitally generated images and recordings are circulating online. The model said she decided to speak out because the rumors, beyond being false, could expose her to danger.

AI-generated audio and death threats escalated the controversy

A supposed audio clip shared online portrayed Nemesio Oseguera speaking of a betrayal and included death threats directed at the alleged whistleblower and her family, explicitly identifying a woman by name. The clip prompted alarm and prompted the influencer to appear in her Instagram stories to deny any involvement and to urge followers to flag the false material. A streamer known as MrStivenTc also posted in defense of the model, noting she had not published any information related to the matter and asking people not to believe what circulates on social platforms.

Authorities' version of the operation and the Tapalpa connection

Authorities described an operation that targeted the CJNG leader after tracking members of his inner circle, including a presumed romantic partner with whom he had met in a rural area of the Tapalpa municipality. The operation focused on a residence in an exclusive country-fraccionamiento in Tapalpa, Jalisco, where the leader was said to have taken refuge in a two-level cabin surrounded by pines and gardens.

• Military and national security forces reportedly established a cordon by land and air to locate the fugitive.
• Forces entered the property after forcing the main latch of the cabin, described as built of brick, tile and wood.
• The operation was triggered after a meeting between the capo and a woman identified as his sentimental partner, a development that made it possible to pinpoint his location.
• Following the intervention, the leader allegedly attempted to flee into nearby woods where he was located.

Armament detail tied to the operation

Authorities confirmed that the cartel leader had access to heavy weaponry, including a Russian-made anti-tank rocket launcher described as capable of striking armored vehicles and military aircraft. That armament detail was cited in coverage that placed the compound in Tapalpa at the center of the pursuit.

Online profile, reach and the 'Barbie beisbolista' identity

The creator manages a main Instagram account with about 3. 5 million followers where she shares daily-life photos, moments with her partner and content tied to one of her passions: baseball. She also runs an alternate account under the name "Barbie beisbolista, " using it to post photographs focused on her personal image and visual style—an aesthetic noted as part of her public identity on social networks. Her content is known to center on lifestyle, fashion and sports themes.

Information noise and digital friction: site errors and altered broadcasts

As the controversy unfolded, digital friction intensified: a major news platform briefly displayed a browser-not-supported message urging readers to update their browsers to benefit from newer technologies, a sign of increased online traffic and technical strain around breaking material. In parallel, one broadcast episode linked to the contested audio was altered by the reuse of an older recording, and the disputed clip was identified on social networks as generated with artificial intelligence rather than originating from a live, contemporary transmission by a Guatemalan news channel.

Recent updates indicate the situation remains fluid; authenticity questions around audios, images and montages have not been resolved, and details may evolve as investigations and verifications continue.
