Nick Diaz, often in headlines for his out-of-competition struggles, is now dealing with a disturbing claim made public by his girlfriend. According to her, Diaz was forcibly taken by a relative, drugged and transported across the Mexican border.
He is allegedly being held at a rehabilitation facility against his will. She claims Diaz has tried escaping multiple times but is being returned each time by authorities. Communication with him is now controlled through a third party.
Diaz's girlfriend posted the updates on her Instagram stories, writing:
"Nick has been forcibly taken by his cousin and transported across the border into Mexico, where he is confined in a rehabilitation facility against his will. He was drugged during this process and has made numerous attempts to escape, but the authorities consistently return him to the facility. Communication with him is severely restricted. I am unable to speak with him or receive updates directly."

Several fans took to X to react to the recent updates, writing:
"That’s wild. He is probably screwed. Mexico is so corrupted. I wouldn’t have any idea what to do if I was kidnapped and taken to Mexico."
"Glad Nate got straight and started a family. Nick needed good women, but went too far with drugs. Maybe CTE."
"Crazy but probably true. Those places really do exist in Mexico."
"So basically thank you to whoever did it for saving our boy."
