Cellphone video footage has emerged showing a violent altercation between OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney and her boyfriend Christian Obumseli, months before she tragically stabbed him to death in their luxury Miami apartment. The video, recorded during a group trip to Aspen, Colorado, in February 2022, captures Clenney berating and physically assaulting Obumseli, calling him derogatory names and striking him repeatedly. A mutual friend who witnessed the incident expressed concerns about the couple’s volatile relationship and their attempts to seek help before the fatal stabbing occurred in April 2022.
Courtney Clenney, also known as Courtney Tailor, was charged with her boyfriend’s murder in August 2022. Initially, Clenney claimed self-defense, and investigators accepted her explanation, delaying the announcement of her prosecution until months later. According to the friend present during the Aspen trip, Obumseli frequently faced Clenney’s outbursts, describing her as easily triggered and stating that her anger was solely directed towards him.
In the video, Clenney can be heard blaming Obumseli for her drinking and accusing him of costing her money and flirting with other women. Less than two months later, Clenney fatally stabbed him. The friend who witnessed the incident confirmed that Clenney arrived drunk to the photo shoot and had a bloody scrape on her elbow, the cause of which remains unknown. Additionally, the friend noticed a fresh stitch on Obumseli’s face during the trip, suggesting further incidents of violence.
Lawyers representing Obumseli’s family argue that Clenney was the manipulative abuser with a history of domestic violence, not Obumseli. They claim that Clenney exerted control over their relationship, including their finances and Obumseli’s emotions. The couple met in Tulum, Mexico, and eventually settled in Miami after living together in Austin, Texas.
The video footage serves as evidence of Clenney’s abusive behavior and sheds light on the dynamics of their toxic relationship. Kimberly Wald, an attorney for Obumseli’s family, emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about domestic abuse and encouraging victims, regardless of gender, to speak out against their abusers. Obumseli’s family has filed a civil lawsuit against Clenney, as well as the building manager and security firm responsible for their apartment complex.
Clenney’s defense lawyer claims that there is clear evidence of self-defense and alleges that Obumseli had choked Clenney prior to the fatal stabbing. However, the video and testimonies from witnesses suggest otherwise. The case continues to unfold, with both sides presenting their arguments.
