OnlyFans star Courtney Clenney has been charged with murder in
the stabbing death of her estranged boyfriend at their Miami
apartment earlier this year, according to reports.
The 25-year-old influencer, who goes by Courtney Tailor on
social media, was arrested in Hawaii on Wednesday and is
currently awaiting extradition to Florida, where she’ll face a
second degree murder charge for allegedly killing 27-year-old
Christian Obumseli in April, her defense attorney, Frank Prieto,
confirmed to the Miami Herald.
Clenney had been at a rehab facility in Hawaii for substance
abuse and post traumatic disorder when she was picked up by
police, her attorney said.
“I’m completely shocked, especially since we were cooperating
with the investigation and offered to voluntarily surrender her
if she were charged,” Prieto told the paper. “We look forward to
clearing her name in court.”
The model’s arrest comes more almost four months after
prosecutors reopened a probe into the fatal stabbing.
Clenney, who has 2 million followers on Instagram, allegedly
stabbed Obumseil in the chest on April 3 following a fight at
their luxury apartment building in Miami’s ritzy Edgewater
neighborhood.
Her attorney has claimed that Clenney acted in self-defense when
Obumseil attacked her after stalking her for several weeks.
The Instagram star was forced to stab Obumseil after he grabbed
her by the throat, Prieto said.
The couple, who had been dating for less than two years, were
estranged at the time, the attorney added.
Video from the scene obtained by TMZ showed Clenney handcuffed
and drenched in blood in a bra after the gruesome fight.
According to the Herald, the pair had been living together for a
few months at the apartment building, where staff noted multiple
domestic incidents and even tried to evict them.
Lawyer Larry Handfield, who represents Obumseli’s family, pushed
police to reopen the investigation. He said that cops visited
the couple on at least four occasions for domestic calls and
noted Obumseli was never taken into custody or charged.
Handfield also emphasized that Clenney wasn’t taken into custody
despite allegedly having an open warrant for a 2015 public
intoxication case from California. Clenney also was reportedly
due in a Texas court on a 2020 DUI charge at the time of the
killing.
The model claimed to be suicidal after the killing of Obumseli
and spent time in a mental institution, officials said.
