Kim Kardashian's co-star Niecy Nash reveals SWINGERS helped while she was stuck in Mexico cartel chaos

Niecy Nash, a star of Ryan Murphy's Kim Kardashian vehicle All's Fair, has told the tale of her travails in Mexico amid last month's explosion of cartel violence.

The tourist hot spot Puerto Vallarta descended into chaos after the Mexican military - with the assistance of American intelligence - assassinated the Jalisco New Generation Cartel kingpin Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, aka El Mencho.

Holidaymakers found themselves stranded in the spiraling crisis as fires sprang up around town, hotels went into lockdown, shops were pillaged and cartel members erected roadblocks en route to the airport.

Among those stuck in Puerto Vallarta was Nash, who was on a 56th birthday trip with her wife Jessica Betts, her three grown children and a group of friends.

At one point, Nash and Betts 'were getting low on food' and went to a nearby W Hotel to 'get some rations,' she shared on the podcast Baby, This Is Keke Palmer. 

When they were confronted with a frosty reception from the hotel staff, they 'snuck' onto the property and met a couple of swingers at the bar, kicking off a rollicking evening as they attempted to get their hands on the supplies they needed.

Betts and Nash were invited to swing with the couple, and although they were uninterested in the offer, they still took the room number of the party.

They got to the knees-up and leapt at their chance to procure some food, ordering up 'everything that we need to take back to the house' from room service.

Nash made sure to note that she and Betts paid in cash so that their supplies would not be placed on the swingers' hotel bill.

Apropos the possibility of actually swinging with their hosts, Nash and Betts told them: 'Oh, you know, maybe next time,' and absconded with their room service.

'And they were so drunk they didn't even know that we ordered all this stuff to their room, so we paid for it and then we were able to take food back home to the kids,' Nash explained to Palmer, who joked: 'Shoutout to swingers.'

On February 25 - three days after the raid that killed El Mencho - Nash posted an Instagram video announcing she had successfully escaped Puerto Vallarta.

She expressed gratitude 'to those that covered us in prayer, sent well wishes, made calls to the US Embassy and shared your connects to get us out!' 

However she noted the W Hotel had been 'very unkind and turned us away' when she tried to get food from them, and she complained of having to cancel a boating trip with a tour company that 'refused' to give her a refund. 

'Challenges for sure showed up BUT GOD! Black people are so resilient! One thing for sure, two things for certain We. Will. Keep. Our. JOY!' she wrote.

The video showed Nash, Betts and the rest of their group singing the Golden Girls theme song Thank You For Being a Friend at the Puerto Vallarta airport.

'In the middle that packed airport where so many were frustrated over cancelled flights, long lines, and minimal seating, our joy was on full display!' wrote Nash.

She added that 'people stopped, stared and then clapped along! Moral of the story? Golden Girls had the best theme song!'

Last week, Nash continued her birthday celebrations with a Michael Jordan-themed party thrown by WP Miller Special Events at the SLS Beverly Hills.

While there, she remarked that her time in Mexico had been 'scary because I let my kids bring their friends so I had other people's children,' via People.

'It was scary, but we got out unscathed...thanks to the Most High. That's why you have to take every moment to celebrate joy, celebrate life, all the things.'
