An OnlyFans model pleaded guilty to fatally stabbing her boyfriend at a luxury Florida condo.
Courtney Clenney, 30, took a plea deal Aug. 10 for a manslaughter charge, less than the original charge of second-degree murder. Clenney was arrested days after her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, 27, died in April 2022.
The deal means Clenney, who once had millions of followers, will spend six years in prison and another five years on probation, according to the Miami Herald.
What happened when OnlyFans model stabbed boyfriend?
Miami Police officers responded to a "domestic violence incident involving a stabbing" the night of April 3, 2022, according to an arrest warrant obtained by USA TODAY. Officers arrived and Obumseli, suffering from a knife wound, with Clenney "cradling" him. He was taken to a local
hospital where he later died, authorities said.
The county medical examiner said in an autopsy report that Obumseli, who worked in cryptocurrency, died from a forceful downward thrust from a blade that went three inches into his chest, piercing a major artery.
The warrant noted the couple had "multiple incidents of domestic violence from both sides" since they began their relationship in November 2020.
Officials said evidence shows Obumseli arrived at the apartment less than 30 minutes before the incident after getting the couple food. Clenney's mother told authorities she heard on the phone the couple arguing before the incident, with Clenney yelling at Obumseli to leave the apartment, saying he was "lying."
Clenney told authorities she armed herself with a knife because Obumseli had pushed her and thrown her to the floor.
She admitted to causing injuries, but gave "several inconsistent accounts" about what happened; police could not verify any injuries Clenney said she sustained, according to the warrant.
