A brief video message from Nick Diaz has surfaced amid mounting concerns about his social media presence being compromised, with the UFC veteran’s team continuing to raise alarms about unauthorized control of his Instagram account.
In the short clip, Diaz appears to be addressing issues at his residence, saying “Hey, I’m Nick Diaz. I live at ************** a I’d like everybody out of the house.” The cryptic message has added fuel to an already complex situation involving allegations that his former girlfriend has taken control of both his social media presence and living situation.
The video emerges as longtime coach Cesar Gracie maintains his warning to fans about the compromised Instagram account. “Nick’s Instagram account [has] been hacked for some time, and he’s attempting to get back control,” Gracie stated in his public advisory. “Mainly, Nick’s former girlfriend has been illegally in control of his account for some time. Please do not donate or support anything this account is doing at this time.”
Recovery coach Jose Garcia has echoed these concerns, supporting claims that the account remains under unauthorized control while Diaz focuses on his rehabilitation efforts. The situation has grown increasingly complicated as the woman at the center of these allegations continues to defend her actions.
“Why would you guys get my man’s account? Like y’all took his gym,” she responded to Garcia’s Instagram post. “That’s what he told me anyways, specifically told me to hold sh*t down until he gets back. Nick can have his account when he’s free.”
Her statements suggest deeper tensions within Diaz’s inner circle, including references to disputes over his Stockton-based training facility, which has since been rebranded as the Nate Diaz Academy. The claims about property control align with the apparent housing situation referenced in Diaz’s recent video message.
This isn’t the first controversy surrounding the former Strikeforce welterweight champion’s personal circumstances. The same woman previously made allegations that Diaz’s family had forcibly sent him to a rehab facility in Mexico, claims that were quickly disputed by Gracie, who shared training footage demonstrating Diaz’s voluntary participation in his recovery program.
The situation has drawn attention from fellow UFC personalities, including former middleweight champion Sean Strickland, who has expressed genuine concern about the mental health challenges affecting the Diaz brothers. “Nick Diaz is different. The Diaz brothers are so mentally f-cked up… The level of depression and misery these guys live with is unreal,” Strickland wrote on social media. “When I’m around them, I just feel bad for how miserable they are. He’s trying to get help.”
The brief video update, while cryptic, appears to align with his team’s concerns about unauthorized individuals maintaining control over his personal affairs during his absence. For now, those close to the former champion continue advocating for his recovery while working to resolve the ongoing disputes over his digital and physical properties.
