Courtney Clenney Trial Update: Dramatic New Video Shows OnlyFans Model Being Interrogated By Police

A newly released Miami police interrogation video shows Courtney Clenney, the OnlyFans Model accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend, covered in blood recounting the couple's lengthy history of domestic violence.

The dramatic hour-and-a-half interrogation shows Clenney answering the detective's questions after declining lawyer representation. "God, Christian, be okay," Clenney says while waiting for detectives to enter the room, in footage obtained by Law & Crime from the Miami-Dade District Attorney's Office.

"I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be like – I'm just, like, I, I just cannot believe the way my day went," she says after being handed a bottle of water. "It's way worse than – I just want to get to the hospital. Like, I desperately want to get to the hospital."

Clenney, 26, has pleaded not guilty to killing her boyfriend, 27-year-old Christian "Toby" Obumseli, a cryptocurrency trader, who was fatally stabbed on April 3. She told Miami authorities she acted in self-defense during an argument with Obumseli at their luxury Edgewater apartment where the alleged murder occurred.

Clenney, who uses the online name Courtney Tailor, has more than 2 million followers on Instagram. She has reportedly earned more than $3 million from OnlyFans since 2020.

Detectives began the interview by asking her to explain what happened earlier that day and how she helped Obumseli following the alleged stabbing. Clenney says that she broke up with Obumseli a week prior but had made up the day before. She recounted that they went to Subway for sandwiches and after returning they began arguing about sharing each other's phone location data.

"He ended up pinning me against the wall," Clenney said. She then said that he had choked her previously, "The happened twice before when I couldn't breathe. Oftentimes I have been scared."

She then continues that she was able to get her mother on the phone and grabbed one of the knives Toby had bought her for Christmas, "I swear to god I said don't come closer to me [...] I had no intention of using it." She then recounted telling him, "Don't come any closer and I threw it."

She then tells detectives that Obumseli was detained in Dallas earlier that year for pushing her in the lobby of a hotel. She also notes that she had been arrested for domestic battery in Las Vegas following an incident where she threw a glass at him.

"We shouldn't be together," Clenney admitted.

Detectives then ask her if police had been called to the couple's shared residence before. "Police have been called once because my boyfriend was threatening suicide."

"I don't remember exactly what the situation was, he had taken a knife [..] He has a history of self-harm."

Clenney also says that Miami police had been called 24 hours before the stabbing by the apartment's Edgewater security personnel. "The cops came yesterday for absolutely nothing. Security guards called them for no reason, bothered him [Obumseli], bothered me. I was about to go to the pool."

She then reiterates that Clenney pinned her against the wall with his hands around her neck and said that's why she grabbed the knife. "I for dang sure did not stab him. That would be insane. I thought I would scare him by just grabbing it." Asking what followed after she threw the knife, Clenney then claims she put pressure on his wound. "I thought, why did it start bleeding so much? I almost got a little irritated with him."

She then recalls wondering how the knife was removed from his chest, "If you watch Game of Thrones, or whatever, you typically don't pull it out. Maybe it just fell out."

Detectives asked her again how many total incidents of domestic violence occurred between the couple in the past year, including when she claims Obumseli threw her into a bench inside a shared hotel room in Tulum, Mexico. "I am certainly a crazy person too. I am aggressive in particular... just like a relationship, I guess."

About three hours later, after detectives left the interrogation room they broke the news to Clenney that Obumseli is dead.

"Christian is dead?" she asks, breathing heavily between sentences and clutching her chest with one arm. "Oh, my God. This is not real, right? Okay. Christian died?"

The officers replied again in the affirmative. "Can I please have a hug?" she asks. "Am I allowed to do that in here?" An officer in the room tries to hug her, but she declines, saying that she needs to hug her mom and "cannot be left alone in, like, a room" by herself – before she insists that her boyfriend must still be alive.

"No, that's not true," Clenney says, as her voice breaks, "That's not. That didn't – not. That's not real, right?"

"That is real," one of the officers' replies.

"Okay, got it. That's the last time I ever talked to him. That's the last time anyone ever talks to him ever." She then says, "The last thing he ate was Subway."

Clenney's second-degree murder trial is scheduled for 2023. Miami Circuit Court Judge Laura Shearon Cruz denied Courtney Clenney's request on Thursday to be released on bond ahead of her trial.

In her order, Cruz said because Clenney made millions of dollars and gained popularity on OnlyFans, she could earn a living overseas if she fled the country. She wrote that Clenney "has no ties to Florida and ample means to leave the country. The defendant has millions of dollars at her disposal and the ability to make more outside of the jurisdiction of the United States."

The chief medical examiner of Miami-Dade County, Dr. Kenneth D. Hutchins, testified last month that the cause of death was not from a knife being thrown at Obumseli in self-defense but a close-contact stab wound.

"As a hypothetical, my opinion is, it was a stab wound," he said when speaking on Obumseli's matter of death. "But if you give me other information that the person is a knife thrower, and they throw knives and throw them into targets and whatnot, then maybe this could have been a knife that was thrown."
