OnlyFans Star La Nicholette Kidnapped in Mexico

A 20-year-old OnlyFans creator and social media influencer who is originally from Phoenix, named La Nicholette, was kidnapped in broad daylight on Tuesday after being forced from her vehicle outside a shopping mall in Culiacán, Mexico, according to various media reports.

The abduction occurred in Sinaloa state when three masked and armed men pulled up beside La Nicholette's distinctive lilac Tesla Cybertruck. Security footage from the vehicle’s cameras shows two men confronting her as she attempted to close the rear passenger door of a white Toyota Corolla.

La Nicholette struggled briefly and tried to return to her own vehicle before being forced into the back seat of the attackers’ car. A third man then drove away.

She has the name “La Nicholette” online, has more than 180,000 followers on Instagram, and is also active on TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube. Spanish newspaper El País reported that she frequently traveled between Culiacán, Mexico, and Phoenix, Arizona, where her parents live. Daughter of Mexican parents, she is originally from Phoenix, where she spends portions of the year.

She reportedly left school in the United States following the COVID-19 pandemic. She later gained attention in Mexico after commissioning a corrido, a traditional narrative ballad, for her 16th birthday in 2022. The song, La Muchacha del Salado, performed by Grupo Arriesgado, has accumulated more than 27 million views on YouTube.

In addition to her online presence, La Nicholette owned a jewelry business and operated a hat and clothing store in the same shopping plaza where the kidnapping occurred.

She was well known locally for driving the lilac Cybertruck, which reportedly made her easily identifiable.

Pardo Molina previously operated a retail business in the city called nicholette.shop, where she sold bracelets, sunglasses, T-shirts, and hats — some featuring imagery associated with drug trafficking groups, including embroidered portraits of some of their leaders, among them, the former drug lord and top leader of the Sinaloa Cartel Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera.

Some media reports have noted unconfirmed claims of possible links between La Nicholette and criminal groups operating in the region. The area where she lived, and where her father is from, is believed to be controlled by Los Mayos, a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel associated with Ismael Zambada.

In older videos, La Nicholette referenced “the man with the hat,” a nickname commonly associated with Zambada. Authorities have not confirmed any connection between La Nicholette and organized crime.

Her disappearance comes amid rising violence targeting women and social media personalities in Sinaloa. Official figures show that 398 women were kidnapped or reported missing in the state in 2025 alone. In May of that year, TikTok creator Valeria Márquez was murdered during a live stream.

Following her interception on Jan. 20, police officers and the Mexican army were deployed in an operation in the area where the incident occurred. The Sinaloa State Attorney General’s Office released the search bulletin for Pardo Molina, noting that “her safety may be at risk, as she could be a victim of a crime.”

Mexican authorities have not released further details or possible motives in La Nicholette's case. The investigation remains ongoing.
