Miami OnlyFans model accused of murdering her boyfriend wants his corpse DUG UP
OnlyFans star Courtney Clenney’s attorney is asking for the corpse of her boyfriend – who she is accused of murdering – to be dug up and inspected by a medical expert to clear her name.
Clenney, 26, is currently waiting to be transferred from Hawaii to Miami where she faces second-degree murder for allegedly murdering 27-year-old Christian Obumseli at their Florida apartment on April 3.
Attorney Frank Prieto will appear in court on Friday to ask prosecutors to permit the ‘inspection’ of Obumseli’s body by an outside medical expert, to prove the model acted in self-defense.
Miami Attorney Katherine Fernandez said Clenney claimed to have stabbed Obumseli in the chest in self-defense after he grabbed her by the throat at their luxury apartment in the One Paraiso building in Edgewater, Miami in April, according to the Miami Herald.
Clenney said she threw the knife at her boyfriend from more than 10 feet away, but Fernandez said the autopsy revealed a deep wound that could only be done at a close distance.
The OnlyFans model was temporarily arrested after cops found her coated in blood on her balcony, but was later released because they believed she had acted in self-defense.
She has been on Hawaii’s Big Island where she was being treated for substance abuse and PTSD. Cops in Hawaii later detained her on August 10 and charged her with second-degree murder with a deadly weapon.

Obumseli’s body was buried in Texas following his death. The 27-year-old’s family attorney, Larry Handfield, says the effort from Clenney’s attorney is ‘an act of desperation,’ and to dig up the body would go against the family’s religious values.
Meanwhile, Prieto is also asking to halt the release of evidence against Clenney without the judge’s first initial inspection of the material.
His motion comes after the release of elevator footage from the couple’s Miami apartment that shows the model viciously punch and kick Obumseli two months before his death.
The footage should Clenney slapping and pulling the hair of her boyfriend as he desperately tried to fend off her blows.
Preito is seeking to stop evidence from being reviewed by the jurors until the judge can ‘determine their relevance [and] probative value.’

Clenney and Obumseli, a cryptocurrency trader, had been dating less than two years, and their relationship was tumultuous.
She was arrested for domestic battery in Las Vegas, and police were called to their home in Austin, Texas, on several occasions.
The pair moved to Miami at the beginning of the year and staff and residents at the One Paraiso building where they lived reported multiple domestic disturbance complaints about the couple, and had even moved to evict them.

Obumseli’s brother in April was angered by her not being charged immediately over his death, saying it was ‘because of her ‘privilege’ as a ‘wealthy white woman’ and not because of her self-defense claim.
But in a statement posted to Instagram, the victim’s brother, Jeffrey Obumseli – and his family – wrote that they do not believe Clenney and demand that she be charged with killing the brother he called Toby.
The model was caught on video covered in blood on her high-rise balcony just after the incident.
‘The bottom line is inextricably clear: Courtney is being treated differently because of her privilege as a wealthy White woman,’ Jeffrey Obumseli wrote on Instagram.
‘Within 24 hours following Toby’s death, the detective on the case prematurely concluded this was not a crime of violence.’
Obumseli’s family from Austin, Texas, continues to demand answers. His family is raising money for him on GoFundMe.
On their page, they say he was the victim of a ‘heinous act of violence.’
‘Christian Toby Obumseli was murdered in Florida a week before his 28th birthday. It is unconscionable to make sense of our new reality.
‘That someone’s selfish act ripped Christian away from this world. It is not enough to say we are shocked and hurting – we are utterly devastated.
‘His murder leaves many unanswered questions and creates a void that can never be fixed or filled. Not even with time.
‘Christian was extremely compassionate with a desire always to uplift those around him. He did not deserve for his life to be cut short by a heinous act of violence,’ it reads.

Throughout the investigation, Clenney was posting X-rated content on her OnlyFans page since allegedly killing her boyfriend.
X-rated content had appeared on her site a day after she killed Obumseli but it is unclear if it had been scheduled to go live before the incident.
Nearly a day after her arrest, Clenney’s page was taken down.
Her Instagram account remains active but she has not shared any images for 19 weeks.
The last post showed her in a skimpy pink dress in Miami with the caption: ‘My face thinking about a fresh set of talons… what color should I get?’
