OnlyFans Model Courtney Clenney Seen Beating Her Boyfriend in Video Month Before She Stabbed Him
OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney was seen in video footage hitting and attacking his boyfriend, Christian "Toby" Obumseli, before his murder.
According to People, the minute-long footage released by southern Florida prosecutors was shot inside an elevator in their luxury Miami high-rise apartment. It was shown to reporters during Thursday's press conference about the OnlyFans model's arrest in Hawaii.
In the February 21 footage, the couple was seen entering the elevator, and before the door closes, Clenney starts aggressively attacking Obumseli. The 27-year-old man was punched several times in the head, face, back, and arms by the 26-year-old social media influencer.
Christian Obumseli tried to shield himself from the blows and push Courtney Clenney away from him but did not try to hit the OnlyFans model in his defense.
OnlyFans Model Courtney Clenney Seen in Video Footage
Miami-Dade State Attorney Kathie Fernandez Rundle said Courtney Clenney was aggressively attacking Christian Obumseli, WFLA News reported.
Rundle had described Obumseli as a victim of domestic violence. The state attorney said the couple had been in an "extremely tempestuous and combative relationship" since November 2020.
She added that the violent and "toxic" relationship between Clenney and Obumseli did not have to end with the man's murder as a victim of domestic violence.
Clenney was also seen occasionally in the footage yanking Obumseli's hair. They continued to fight until the elevator doors opened, with Obumseli being the first one to leave.
The OnlyFans model tried to hit her boyfriend again as she followed him out of the elevator. Police were called to the couple's apartment on April 3 after she stabbed her boyfriend in the chest.
Staff and residents of the One Paraiso building in Miami where they lived had reported multiple domestic disturbance complaints about the couple.
Rundle noted that the police had responded to several domestic disturbance complaints about the two. The building's management had even moved to evict the couple.
OnlyFans Model and Boyfriend's Murder
Courtney Clenney called 911 herself after the stabbing incident and reported to police that her boyfriend had been stabbed, according to Newsweek.
Clenney's phone records showed that she called her mother twice in the span of 10 minutes and dialed 911 a minute after hanging up for the second time.
Christian Obumseli was brought to a local hospital, where he died from a stab wound to the chest. The OnlyFans model was arrested in Hawaii on Wednesday. She will be extradited back to Florida for trial.
Clenney was charged with second-degree murder with a deadly weapon for the April 3 stabbing of Obumseli in their apartment building.
Clenney's lawyer, Frank Prieto, said he was completely shocked regarding his client's arrest, especially since they were cooperating with the probe, and offered to surrender the OnlyFans model voluntarily if she was charged.
Her lawyers claimed the killing was "justified" since she acted in self-defense. Prieto said they look forward to clearing Clenney's name in court.
Clenney claimed that Obumseli pushed her and threw her to the floor, which prompted her to grab a kitchen knife and throw it at him from about 10 feet away.
However, an autopsy report revealed that Obumseli's stab wound was from a "forceful downward thrust," and was not caused by Clenney throwing a knife from that distance. The autopsy report also revealed that the blade went three inches into Obumseli's body and pierced a major artery.
