An adult star and influencer has reportedly reached a plea deal after being accused of murdering her boyfriend.
Courtney Clenney, known online as Courtney Tailor, is a social media personality who boasts over 1.7 million Instagram followers.
The NSFW content creator is currently due to stand trial for the killing of her partner Christian Obumseli, who died from a knife wound in April 2022.
Clenney has remained in custody since August of that same year, after emerging as the primary suspect.
The influencer was 26 at the time of her arrest, after she had allegedly stabbed Obumseli to death in their Miami home over four years ago.
She denies second-degree murder with a weapon, though she was also accused of taking her crypto-trader boyfriend's computer from the murder scene after it was missed by authorities; they finally accessed it with a password given by his daughter.
The couple had been together for less than two years at the time of his death on April 3, 2022.
The 30-year-old has reportedly agreed to a plea deal, which may result in her dodging a life sentence for the charges.
Specific terms around the agreement have not yet been disclosed, with the deal still needing to be approved by a judge.
Clenney's legal team have remained tight-lipped on the ordeal, reportedly saying via the Daily Star: "We will reserve further comment on the specific terms until they are placed on the record before the Court."
The adult star has had run-ins with the law in the past, having previously been arrested for domestic battery in Las Vegas.
Clenney and Obumseli had also dealt with authorities over the years, as cops had been called to their home in Austin, Texas, on numerous occasions.
Clenney and her boyfriend moved to Miami at the beginning of 2022, with staff and residents at the One Paraiso building, where they lived, filing several domestic disturbance complaints about the couple.
Some had even moved to evict the couple from the premises.
Police reports reveal that officers arrived at the residence at around 5 PM on April 3, 2022, following a call about an aggravated battery when the stabbing incident took place.
The influencer was seen and later pictured wearing a blood-soaked robe and sweatpants.
Obumseli was rushed to hospital after being stabbed in the torso, but he would sadly be pronounced dead on arrival.
Clenney first claimed self-defence to investigators, but she would ultimately be charged with his murder months on, while she was attending a rehab centre in Hawaii.

An OnlyFans model has been arrested in Hawaii for the murder of her boyfriend.
Courtney Clenney, 26, is expected to be extradited to Miami on a charge of second-degree murder after she fatally stabbed her boyfriend in the city.
According to a report by NBC News, Miami-Dade County state attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle alleges that Clenney fatally stabbed Christian 'Toby' Obumseli on April 3, over a year after they started dating in November 2020.
The state attorney described the pair's relationship as "extremely tempestuous and combative," explaining how the building management where they lived was ready to evict them due to repeated, documented incidents of loud arguing.
Investigators believe that Clenney - who appears on OnlyFans as 'Courtney Tailor' and has over 2 million Instagram followers - killed Obumseli between 4.33 PM and 4.57 PM on April 3.
Shortly after key fob records show Obumseli entering the building at 4.32 PM, several neighbors began calling building security to report a disturbance in the couple's apartment.
At 4.57 PM, Clenney made a 911 call to request help for her partner, who could be heard in the background saying he was losing feeling.
In the wake of Obumseli's death, Clenney alleged that she stabbed him out of self-defense after he grabbed her by the throat.
Rundle recalled the suspect's version of events: "She says he threw her to the ground but allowed her to get up. And it was at that point that Clenney went to a kitchen area and got the knife as Christian sort of approached her. She threw the knife at him from a distance that she's estimated to be about 10 feet."
Contrary to Clenney's statement, medical examiners found that Obumseli was stabbed from close range and that his fatal injury could not have been caused by a thrown knife.
The model was taken into custody on Wednesday (August 10) in Hawaii, where she was attending rehab for the trauma of her boyfriend's death.
Her lawyer Frank Prieto said he was "completely shocked" by the arrest because of "the clear evidence of self-defense."
Meanwhile, a lawyer representing Obumseli’s family, Larry Handfield, said Clenney's charges came as a relief to the family and claimed that Clenney was the aggressor in the turbulent relationship.

An OnlyFans model accused of stabbing her boyfriend is seen having a massive fight with him in a newly released video.
As reported by Court TV, Courtney Clenney was charged with second-degree murder with a weapon for the fatal stabbing of her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, on April 3, 2022.
Obumseli, known as Toby to his loved ones, passed away of a single stab wound to the upper chest in the luxury apartment building he shared with Clenney in Miami, Florida.
The 27-year-old pleaded not guilty and claimed that she stabbed her late partner in self-defense as he was allegedly physically abusing her.
Newly released footage of the couple taken weeks before Obumseli’s death has been shared with Court TV by the attorney representing his family in a wrongful death lawsuit against Clenney. The law firm revealed that they would be using the video in the murder case against Clenney.
The shocking three-minute-long clip - which was recorded by a third person in the room - shows the pair fighting in a room in Aspen, Colorado, back in 2022.
It begins with Clenney screaming at Obumseli: "I was sober for two weeks! Two weeks, and then why am I not sober? Because of you!" before repeatedly hitting him. The boyfriend then grabs the model's hands, prompting her to tell him to let go repeatedly.
While the cause of the fight is unknown, Clenney accuses Obumseli of flirting with other women and touching someone’s breast. "Christian I’m f***ing fed up with you, I’m fed up with how you f***ing treat me," she said.
At one point she looks at the third person in the room and says: "Actually, I’m done. Can you send him home," before turning her attention back to Obumseli and slapping him again.
"You’re costing me money, I didn’t do s*** since I got to this f***ing house because of you," she yelled, before concluding the video with: "Christian, you’re fired."
While the attorneys for Obumseli’s family contended that the video reveals Clenney’s "physical and verbal abuse," the attorney representing the model reasserted her claim that she was the victim of abuse.
"This video is an example of the toxic relationship between Obumseli and Courtney Clenney. Evidence exists that Obumseli physically abused Courtney on prior occasions and on April 3, 2022, Courtney was forced to defend herself from Obumseli’s physical attack," her attorneys said in a statement to the publication.
Clenney was arrested in Hawaii and extradited to South Florida, where she has been at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without bond since August 2022.
She has pleaded not guilty and is expected to appear in front of Judge Laura Cruz on Friday (January 12) in Miami-Dade County.

The parents of the OnlyFans model accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend have been arrested on suspicion of "concealing evidence".
Courtney Clenney was charged with second-degree murder with a weapon for the fatal stabbing of her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, on April 3, 2022, as reported by Court TV.
Obumseli, known as Toby to his loved ones, tragically passed away of a single stab wound to the upper chest in the luxury apartment building he shared with Clenney in Miami, Florida.
The 27-year-old pleaded not guilty and claimed that she stabbed her late partner in self-defense as he was allegedly physically abusing her.
Clenney was arrested in Hawaii and extradited to South Florida, where she has been at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without bond since August 2022.
On January 10, her parents, Deborah, 57, and Kim Clenney, 60, were taken into custody by police in Texas and booked into Travis County Jail just after 2:30PM on out-of-state felony warrants, according to WPLG.
Per the report, Kim reportedly found a laptop belonging to his daughter's late boyfriend in the same apartment where the man was fatally stabbed. The device was not taken immediately and turned over to the police.
"Clenney’s parents attempted to conceal evidence as they cleaned out her Edgewater high-rise apartment," the outlet said, citing police sources.
They added that the parents had allegedly tried accessing the laptop before handing it to Obumseli's attorneys.
Clenney's attorney spoke out about the parents' arrest and said that it sees it as a way of keeping them from speaking ahead of a gag order hearing later this week.
"We’re extremely surprised and very concerned about the arrest of the Clenney family; this could be an example of prosecutorial overreach and misconduct," Frank Prieto said in a statement obtained by Local 10 News. "The Clenneys have quite a story and it’s a story the State of Florida maybe does not want the public to hear.
"We believe the Clenney family has been targeted with some trumped up charges to discredit them in the press and make their lives miserable. It stinks of a power play by prosecutors to control the narrative," he added. "It appears the prosecutors are going for media mileage in this one with little or no evidence as we have yet to know what the true accusations are."
Earlier this month, the law firm representing Obumseli’s family released a disturbing three-minute-long clip that allegedly shows the pair fighting in a room in Aspen, Colorado, back in 2022.
It begins with Clenney screaming at Obumseli: "I was sober for two weeks! Two weeks, and then why am I not sober? Because of you!" before repeatedly hitting him. The boyfriend then grabs the model's hands, prompting her to tell him to let go repeatedly.
While the cause of the fight is unknown, Clenney accuses Obumseli of flirting with other women and touching someone’s breast. "Christian I’m f***ing fed up with you, I’m fed up with how you f***ing treat me," she said.

"You’re costing me money, I didn’t do s*** since I got to this f***ing house because of you," she yelled, before concluding the video with: "Christian, you’re fired."
While the attorneys for Obumseli’s family argued that the footage reveals Clenney’s "physical and verbal abuse," the attorney representing the model reasserted her claim that she was the victim of abuse.
"This video is an example of the toxic relationship between Obumseli and Courtney Clenney. Evidence exists that Obumseli physically abused Courtney on prior occasions and on April 3, 2022, Courtney was forced to defend herself from Obumseli’s physical attack," her attorneys said in a statement to the publication.
"Jason Melo assaulted his former girlfriend, then forced her to walk naked, in the middle of winter, down a public street while their two-month-old baby was left unattended upstairs," he said.
"To further degrade her, he recorded the ordeal, then had the audacity to brag about his actions, sharing the video with multiple friends and even attempting to profit from it.
"This defendant has never demonstrated an ounce of remorse for his disgusting and violent conduct. I thank the survivor in this case for her incredible bravery in coming forward and testifying against her former domestic partner at trial. Thankfully, because of her courage, he is being held accountable." When he was first apprehended, Melo attempted to defend his actions by saying, "I didn't hit her or anything. Even the detectives are here with me and some of them congratulated me because they see how happy she is and I didn't pull her hair or anything." He also stated, "Some of the other prisoners are also on my side and they say some of them would have done worse things." Melo has since been charged with felony coercion and assault, as well as endangering the welfare of a child. He faces up to seven years behind bars for the first count.Published 14:26 29 Aug 2025 GMT
Authorities in South Carolina have charged nine teenagers in connection with the June killing of 16-year-old Trey Wright, who was allegedly lured to his death by his girlfriend. Investigators say the group of high schoolers drove more than an hour to confront Wright, with one even recording the fatal shooting on video.
Deputies with the Florence County Sheriff’s Office discovered Wright of Johnsonville dead from multiple gunshot wounds about 45 miles west of Myrtle Beach.
According to The US Mirror, Wright’s cheerleader girlfriend, 17-year-old Gianna Kistenmacher, played a central role in the attack. She allegedly arranged for Wright to meet with 19-year-old Devan Raper, who was armed and angry following an earlier dispute.
Prosecutors say Kistenmacher knowingly brought Raper to Wright’s location despite being aware of the firearm and escalating tension. Raper is accused of pulling the trigger and killing Wright during the confrontation.
In the aftermath, Kistenmacher accompanied Wright to the hospital and appeared to comfort his family, who were unaware of her alleged involvement at the time. “I hugged her neck and was comforting her because I didn’t know,” Wright’s mother recalled.
Another of Wright’s teenage friends reportedly accused her of betrayal at the hospital before adults intervened. Kistenmacher was later arrested, initially on charges of accessory before the fact, but investigators upgraded her charges as evidence mounted, per Fox News.
Raper was taken into custody the following day and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Over the next several weeks, the investigation widened, implicating seven additional teens who authorities allege helped facilitate the killing. In total, nine suspects (some over 18 and others charged as adults) now face serious charges related to the crime.
Those identified by officials include Kistenmacher, Raper, Corinne Belviso, 18; Hunter Kendal, 18; Sydney Kearns, 17; Braylyn Thompson, 17; and Jaden Auclaire, 18. Two additional juveniles have been charged but not publicly named.

Maj. Michael Nunn of the Florence County Sheriff’s Office said the group knowingly brought Raper to Wright’s location and were aware of the potential for violence.
“They were complicit in bringing the armed codefendant, Raper, to the incident location and knowing that there would be a confrontation,” Nunn told local outlet WBTW. “They knew that Raper had presented a firearm to the victim and made threats to shoot him, according to the arrest warrants.”
The case has drawn widespread attention in the community, both for the age of those involved and for the disturbing level of planning alleged by law enforcement. Officials continue to investigate the circumstances that led to the confrontation, while Wright’s family grieves the loss of a teenager remembered by friends as kind-hearted and full of potential.
The Florence County Sheriff’s Office has not released further details on whether additional arrests are expected.
