Former OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney expected to take plea deal in stabbing death of boyfriend
The OnlyFans model accused of killing her boyfriend inside a Miami apartment is expected to take a plea deal on Monday.
Four years ago, Christian Obumseli was stabbed to death inside a Miami apartment that he shared with his girlfriend, OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney.
Prosecutors said Clenney is responsible for his death. She said it was self-defense, claiming he was abusive.
Days after Obumseli was stabbed to death in April 2022, Clenney was arrested in Hawaii and charged with second-degree murder.
Clenney's attorney previously claimed that she threw a knife to protect herself.
The attorney for Obumseli's family said that can't be true.
Both attorneys addressed those claims back in 2024.
"It shows the court that our client is in fact credible, her self-defense is credible, and the action she took that night was necessary to save her own life," Clenney's attorney Frank Prieto said.
Attorney Larry Handfield disagreed.
"That's inconsistent with common sense," he said. "There's no way that you would, if you throw a knife, that the knife is going to land so deep in a downward position."
Clenney's parents were previously charged with illegally hacking into Obumseli's computer, but those charges were later dropped.
Video of a previous confrontation between Obumseli and Clenney months before his death was shown in court, and evidence released since Clenney's arrest painted a troubling relationship between the two.
At the end of July, Clenney's lawyers announced a plea agreement was reached as the case was moving closer to a trial.
Last week, the attorney for Obumseli's family released a statement in response to the deal, saying in part, "Pleading guilty and accepting full responsibility will begin the process of bringing closure to a very tragic life-changing event for the Obumseli family."
