Courtney Clenney reaches plea deal in Miami murder case of boyfriend Christian Obumseli
OnlyFans influencer Courtney Clenney, who built a following of over two million under the name Courtney Tailor, was charged with second‑degree murder after stabbing her 27‑year‑old boyfriend, cryptocurrency trader Christian Obumseli, inside their One Paraiso condominium in Miami’s Edgewater district on April 3, 2022. Clenney claimed she acted in self‑defense, alleging that Obumseli had thrown her to the floor, but forensic analysis showed the three‑inch chest wound was inflicted at point‑blank range, contradicting her “thrown‑knife” story. She was arrested in August 2022 at a rehabilitation facility in Hawaii and has remained in custody without bond.
Weeks before a trial scheduled for August 2026, Clenney’s defense team, led by attorney Frank Prieto, secured a sealed plea agreement with Miami‑Dade prosecutors. The specific terms have not been disclosed, and the deal must be approved by Circuit Court Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson at a hearing set for August 10, 2026. The victim’s family, represented by attorney Larry Handfield, participated in the negotiations and expressed hope the plea will bring closure. While the exact charge to which Clenney will plead remains unclear, commentators suggest it may involve a reduced offense such as manslaughter.
