MIAMI — An OnlyFans model accused of stabbing her boyfriend to death inside a luxury Miami high-rise will change her plea, her attorney announced Friday.

Courtney Clenney, 30, reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in her second-degree murder case, attorney Frank Prieto said in a statement. Clenney is accused of stabbing her boyfriend Christian Obumseli, 27, on April 3, 2022, inside One Paraiso, a condo complex located at 3100 NE Seventh Ave. in Edgewater.

Prieto did not release any information about the plea deal, saying it was “not final until accepted by the Court.” But Clenney is expected to formally accept the agreement at a hearing on Aug. 10. Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson, during a recent hearing, had said she wanted the case to go to trial in August.

Clenney — an OnlyFans model who at one point boasted more than 2 million followers — has been jailed since August 2022. She was arrested in Hawaii four months after, police say, she stabbed Obumseli to death. Evidence from the case detailed a tumultuous relationship between the jet-setting couple.

Defense attorneys have argued that Clenney — who was in a tumultuous, toxic relationship with Obumseli — was a victim of battered women’s syndrome and was “forced to take action in the defense of her life.” Clenney called 911 immediately instead of letting her boyfriend bleed out, which the attorney claims supports Clenney being charged with manslaughter instead of second-degree murder.

Clenney claimed to have thrown the knife at Obumseli from a distance of over 10 feet, but prosecutors say an autopsy revealed a puncture wound so deep it could only have been caused by an up-close and personal stabbing.

Evidence of the unstable relationship was captured on surveillance footage — and audio recorded by Obumseli.

Two months before Obumseli was killed, Clenney attacked him in an elevator. As Clenney became enraged, Obumseli threw his hands up in defense, and Clenney continued swinging on him, the video showed.

During the less than a minute-long elevator ride, the duo trading blows, according to the video. Clenney slapped and pushed Obumseli as he walked out of the elevator.

Obumseli chronicled their arguments in a series of recordings, which caught Clenney angrily screaming, berating and cursing him out using racist slurs. In one of the audio files, Clenney appears to be enraged because he didn’t tell her that he said hello to a female acquaintance while on a bicycle ride. Clenney calls Obumseli the n-word multiple times, and tells him to “man up b----” and to “shut up and let me slap you, dumb a—!”

Clenney’s defense team tried to get those audio recordings thrown out, arguing they were inadmissible evidence because they were taken while Clenney was in private, in her home, and have no relevance to the crime.
