An OnlyFans model who stabbed her boyfriend to death inside a luxury Miami high-rise stood in front of a judge Monday morning and pleaded guilty. She\u2019ll serve about two years in prison.<\/p>\n
Courtney Clenney \u2014 sandwiched by her attorneys and wearing orange jail attire \u2014 pleaded guilty to manslaughter, a charge lesser than second-degree murder. Clenney, 30, was accused of killing her boyfriend Christian Obumseli, 27, on April 3, 2022, inside One Paraiso, a condo complex at 3100 NE Seventh Ave. in Edgewater.<\/p>\n
The plea was the result of a deal Clenney and her legal team struck with prosecutors. Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson sentenced Clenney to six years in prison followed by five years on probation, as per the negotiated agreement.<\/p>\n
Clenney will receive credit for the nearly four years she served in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. While on probation, Clenney will have to complete a mental health and substance abuse evaluation as well as any necessary treatment.<\/p>\n

Several of members of the Obumseli family embraced.<\/p>\n Obumseli\u2019s mother, Egbuna said, was called by doctors while she was at work the day he died. They asked for consent to donate his eyes \u2014 and that\u2019s how she learned Obumseli had been killed by someone he \u201chad trusted and loved.\u201d<\/p>\n Using her cuffed hands, Clenney wiped her eyes with tissues.<\/p>\n \u201cFour years later, there are still nights where I cannot sleep,\u201d the letter said. \u201cThere are moments that I go back to the last moments of Christian\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n Clenney closed her eyes Monday as prosecutor Shawn Abuhoff said she was admitting that she caused Obumseli\u2019s fatal stab wound. Although not part of the plea agreement, Abuhoff said a state law bars Clenney from financially benefit from the killing.<\/p>\n Clenney \u2014 an OnlyFans model who at one point boasted more than 2 million followers \u2014 has been jailed since August 2022. She was arrested in Hawaii four months after, police say, she stabbed Obumseli in the chest. Evidence from the case detailed a tumultuous relationship between the jet-setting couple.<\/p>\n The couple started dating in 2020 and had a history of domestic violence.<\/p>\n Defense attorneys argued that Clenney \u2014 who was in a tumultuous, toxic relationship with Obumseli \u2014 was a victim of battered women\u2019s syndrome and was \u201cforced to take action in the defense of her life.\u201d Clenney called 911 immediately instead of letting her boyfriend bleed out, which the attorney claims supports Clenney being charged with manslaughter instead of second-degree murder.<\/p>\n Clenney claimed to have thrown the knife at Obumseli from a distance of over 10 feet, but prosecutors say an autopsy revealed a puncture wound so deep it could only have been caused by an up-close and personal stabbing.<\/p>\n Evidence of the unstable relationship was captured on surveillance footage \u2014 and audio recorded by Obumseli.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Watch: Miami OnlyFans model attacks boyfriend months before cops say she murdered him<\/a><\/p>\n Two months before Obumseli was killed, Clenney attacked him in an elevator. As Clenney became enraged, Obumseli threw his hands up in defense, and Clenney continued swinging on him, the video showed.<\/p>\n During the less than a minute-long elevator ride, the duo trading blows, according to the video. Clenney slapped and pushed Obumseli as he walked out of the elevator.<\/p>\n Obumseli chronicled their arguments in a series of recordings, which caught Clenney angrily screaming, berating and cursing him out using racist slurs. In one of the audio files, Clenney appears to be enraged because he didn\u2019t tell her that he said hello to a female acquaintance while on a bicycle ride. Clenney calls Obumseli the n-word multiple times, and tells him to \u201cman up b—-\u201d and to \u201cshut up and let me slap you, dumb a–!\u201d<\/p>\n Clenney\u2019s defense team tried to get those audio recordings thrown out, arguing they were inadmissible evidence because they were taken while Clenney was in private, in her home, and have no relevance to the crime.<\/p>\n This story was originally published August 10, 2026 at 10:25 AM.<\/p>\n![\"Police](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Tailor_Toby.jpg\" "\\"Tailor_Toby.jpg\\"")
