MIAMI \u2014 An\u00a0OnlyFans model who stabbed her boyfriend to death<\/a> 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\u00a0Clenney \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 in Edgewater.<\/p>\n The plea<\/a> was the result of a deal\u00a0Clenney 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 Article continues below this ad<\/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 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. The couple started dating in 2020 and had a history of domestic violence.<\/p>\n She closed her eyes as prosecutor Shawn\u00a0Abuhoff 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cToday closes a legal chapter, but it certainly doesn\u2019t close our grief,\u201d\u00a0Obumseli\u2019s cousin Karen Egbuna said as she read out a letter written by his mother. \u201cNo sentence, no plea, can bring back my son to me.\u201d<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n Egbuna was surrounded by several of Obumseli\u2019s loved ones, including his mother, as she addressed the court. Several of members of the Obumseli family embraced. One held a photo collage of Obumseli, and many wore purple ribbons, which symbolize domestic violence awareness.<\/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,\u00a0Clenney wiped her eyes with tissues as the family spoke.<\/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 More here: Woman stabbed seven times while bartending in Richardson reflects on recovery<\/a><\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n In the letter,\u00a0Obumseli\u2019s mother said the family has mourned the birthdays, holidays and mundane conversations they will never again have with Obumseli.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was a son. He was a brother. He was a cousin. He was a nephew. He was a grandson. He was a friend to a lot of people,\u201d\u00a0Egbuna read. \u201cHe was loved … The loss of Christian did not end on April 3, 2022. We carry it with us every day.\u201d<\/p>\n All that the family has left,\u00a0Egbuna read from the letter, are the memories of Obumseli. In her penned address, Chio Obumseli recalled how her son, as a child, once encouraged her to help a homeless man.<\/p>\n \u201cThose are the memories that no one can ever take from us,\u201d the letter said. \u201cNothing can erase the pain of the day I buried my son. Nothing can describe what it feels like to stand at the grave of your child.\u201d<\/p>\n Family sought accountability<\/p>\n The\u00a0Obumseli family, attorney Larry Handfield said, approved of the plea so they could focus on closure. But they also wanted the justice system<\/a> to recognize that the killing was not an accident or an act of self-defense.<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n \u201cWhat the family wanted was accountability,\u201d\u00a0Handfield said. \u201cAt least today we received that.\u201d<\/p>\n In a statement,\u00a0Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said Obumseli\u2019s family finally heard Clenney \u201caccepting full responsibility for his death.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhile nothing can heal the wounds caused on that day in April, I hope today\u2019s guilty plea brings his family a measure of justice too long denied,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
