Overview
- During a birthday trip, Nash, her wife Jessica Betts, and family were stranded in Puerto Vallarta as violence linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel disrupted the area.
- Nash says the group sheltered in place, ran low on food, and went to a nearby W Hotel, where staff declined to assist before they slipped in through a back entrance.
- She recounts meeting a swinger couple at the hotel bar and using the couple’s room number to order food paid for in cash so charges would not appear on the couple’s bill.
- Nash posted on Feb. 25 that they had arrived back in Los Angeles and thanked those who offered help, including people who contacted the U.S. Embassy.
- The unrest followed the reported killing of cartel leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, prompting State Department shelter‑in‑place guidance and some airline cancellations in affected areas.
