OnlyFans Star Kidnapped in Culiacán Confesses to Organized Crime

This article includes translations provided by Sol Prendido.

Meet Nicole Pardo Molina, 20, better known online as La Nicholette. Dual U.S.-Mexican citizen, high school dropout, partly raised in Phoenix, Arizona—where she built a following on TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and OnlyFans. Glam reels, thirst traps, adult subscriptions—the full influencer playbook. But her real world was Culiacán, Sinaloa—cartel capital, fent hub, and a place where beauty and bullets show up in the same story.

On paper, she was just another clout-chaser. In reality, she’s now tied to alleged Mayiza money laundering and a four-day disappearance that ended with more questions than answers.

On January 20, 2026, broad daylight in upscale Isla Musalá, armed men in a white Toyota Corolla boxed her purple Tesla Cybertruck outside a shopping plaza. Her own dashcam rolls the horror: guns out, doors forced, she’s dragged out fighting, thrown into their vehicle, vanished in seconds. Video goes mega-viral—textbook cartel “levantón,” no masks, no fear of consequences.

She drops off the map for four days. Then, January 24, Sinaloa prosecutors announce she’s located alive and “well.” No arrests, no ransom leaks, no official explanation. But before that, a video surfaces (widely circulated, authorities won’t confirm authenticity): Nicholette on camera, naming names and exposing the rot.

”Hello, I’m here reading this message to make something clear. I’m not here because I’m a saint or by chance. I’m here because I work with Mayito Flaco’s mob, the Mayo-Zetas. 

They gave me money to pay the state patrols with these numbers: 028, 025, 509, 5001, and 004. I also helped them collect money from product sales and stores that they extorted here in Culiacán. 

You know very well that I always helped you move bullets, weapons, and money. I always helped you. I was shown a long list of women you have murdered, beaten, raped, and immolated. 

I also want to tell you not to deceive people like you deceived me, saying that the capital is yours and that there are no longer any operatives from Los Chapos around. You don’t know what I’ve seen here. 

Nor do you know where they have me. What you told me has nothing to do with what you post on WhatsApp groups and social media. You and all your allies and the state police together haven’t been able to win this war. Take a look at where you have me. 

What you have done with your war and lies will only lead to more killings and kidnappings of innocent women. Please find the whereabouts of the minor named Devaní Gustavo Hernández Valdéz, who was kidnapped on July 21, 2025, in the 4 de Marzo neighborhood.”

In the clip she confesses working for La Mayiza—the faction tied to Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and his son Mayito Flaco. She says she was paid to bribe state police and National Guard patrols, listing them cold: state units 509, 004, 501, 023; Guard numbers 31445, 31458, 31417, 28910. She says she moved cash for Vadhir, aka El Imperativo, a close compadre of Güero Reyna (key Mayiza operator).

Then another video leaks, this one featuring a Mexican policeman (allegedly crooked) cooperating and confirming the exact same corrupt patrol numbers. State units like 028A, 025A, 509A, 501A, 004A; same Guard plates 31445, 31458, 31417, 28910. Both clips align perfectly, pointing to a chain of command reaching up to Óscar Rentería Schazarino, Sinaloa’s Secretary of Public Security—accused in narco circles of shielding Mayiza operations. (He’s denied it publicly, called such lists “anonymous smears,” but the videos keep spreading.)

”My name is Jesús Arturo Félix Uribe. The Mayos mob brainwashed me into thinking that we were going to win Culiacán. I work for Vadhir, aka El Imperativo, he’s a compadre of Güero Reyna. 

I would move money for him in order to pay the state policemen and National Guardsmen. Those patrol vehicles are: 509, 004, 501, and 023. And for the National Guardsmen those numbers are: 31445, 31458, 31417, and 28910. 

Guys, don’t bother listening to what all is being said on these social media groups. Pay attention to my warning because the Chapiza mob is in charge here. The same thing that’s about to happen to me will also be your fate. Don’t bother getting involved and just work an honest living.”

Why her? Streets say she crossed lines hard—pushing merch heavy on Chapo/Chapitos branding (hats, shirts, hoodies) in a city split by the brutal Sinaloa civil war. Mayo vs. Chapo sons: selling the rival side’s swag is suicide. She may have leaned Chapiza for clout earlier, or played both for cash. Either way, flaunting ties to Güero Reyna, posting gun videos, bragging about “the sombrero backing her”—it painted a target. OnlyFans thirst traps + cartel merch in Culiacán? That’s not hustle; that’s hubris in a war zone.

For Americans: This isn’t distant cartel drama. This is a Phoenix-raised 20-year-old who built her brand stateside, commuted across the border, and dove headfirst into the narco ecosystem that’s poisoning U.S. streets with fentanyl while turning Mexican influencers into disposable pawns. She wasn’t just caught up—she was an active player, detailing corruption that props up the machine killing thousands yearly. The second video (the cop’s confession) doubles down: it’s not isolated claims; it’s corroborated dirt on bought-and-paid-for security forces.

She’s out now, reportedly low-key, socials silent. Expect the pivot soon: tearful “I was manipulated” reel, victim branding, maybe “awareness” posts to rehab the image. But in Culiacán, the message landed—Mayiza used her to expose internal rot, warn switch-siders, and remind everyone who’s really pulling strings. Most don’t walk away breathing after spilling like that. Fortunately for her OnlyFans subscribers, more content is coming your way.
