OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney has reached a plea agreement in the second-degree murder case involving the 2022 stabbing death of her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, avoiding a trial that had been scheduled to begin in the coming weeks.

Clenney’s attorneys confirmed the agreement but said the terms will remain undisclosed until they are formally presented in court, according to a statement obtained by Fox News Digital from Clenney’s attorneys at Prieto Law Firm and Puglisi Carames Law.

A plea hearing is expected on Aug. 10 before Miami-Dade County judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson, where the court will decide whether to accept the deal.

The case has drawn national attention for years, with prosecutors accusing Clenney, known as Courtney Tailor on social media, of fatally stabbing Obumseli inside their Miami apartment, as reported by Newsweek, while her defense team has argued she acted in self-defense after allegedly experiencing abuse during their relationship.

Newsweek contacted the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office via email and Clenney's defense team via social media Saturday for comment.

Timeline: Courtney Clenney Murder Case as Plea Deal Reached

April 2022: Christian Obumseli is killed in Miami apartment

On April 3, 2022, police responded to a Miami condominium after Christian Obumseli, 27, was found suffering from a stab wound. He later died from his injuries.

Investigators said Clenney admitted she threw a knife at Obumseli during an argument. Prosecutors later argued the evidence contradicted her account, while her attorneys maintained the stabbing happened during an act of self-defense.

As reported by Newsweek, the then 26-year-old Florida model on the day of Obumseli's death called 911 to report that her boyfriend had been stabbed during a violent fight between the two. Clenney said that Obumseli, a cryptocurrency investor, had thrown her to the ground, prompting her to grab a knife and throw it at him from 10 feet away.

However, the medical examiner determined that Obumseli's fatal stab wound, which severed his subclavian artery, could not have resulted from a knife thrown from such a distance.

April 2022: Questions over the couple’s relationship emerge

The couple’s relationship became a central issue in the case, with both sides presenting conflicting accounts of alleged violence and abuse.

Clenney’s defense later argued that she was a victim of abuse and that Obumseli’s alleged behavior was important to understanding why she feared for her safety.

Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle characterized Obumseli’s death as the result of a "tempestuous and combative relationship" between the couple when Clenney was arrested, as reported by the New York Post.

Prosecutors disputed that portrayal and argued Clenney was the aggressor.

A February 2022 video recorded during a trip to Aspen, Colorado, appears to show Clenney yelling at and repeatedly hitting Obumseli in front of a person who filmed the encounter, as reported by Fox News.

August 2022: Clenney is arrested in Hawaii

Around four months after Obumseli’s death, Clenney was arrested at a rehabilitation facility in Hawaii while receiving treatment for substance abuse and PTSD. She was charged with second-degree murder and later returned to Florida.

Clenney pleaded not guilty and remained in custody while awaiting trial.

2023: Defense builds self-defense argument

Clenney’s legal team began building a defense centered on claims that she acted to protect herself during a violent confrontation.

Her attorneys argued evidence of the couple’s relationship, including alleged abuse and previous incidents, supported her self-defense claim.

The defense also challenged the prosecution’s interpretation of the fatal wound, arguing that the injury could have occurred from a knife being thrown rather than from a direct stabbing motion.

2024: Evidence disputes and legal battles intensify

The case became increasingly focused on digital evidence, including disputes over access to electronic records connected to the investigation.

Clenney’s parents were also arrested in connection with allegations involving access to Obumseli’s laptop, though those proceedings became separate from the murder case.

Additional evidence, including videos and recordings related to the couple’s relationship, became part of the ongoing legal disputes before trial.

2025: Trial preparations continue

As the case moved toward trial, Clenney’s attorneys continued challenging evidence and arguing that prosecutors had mishandled parts of the investigation.

A trial date was repeatedly pushed back as both sides litigated issues involving evidence, witness testimony and pretrial motions.

Early 2026: Trial delays and final legal arguments

Clenney’s trial was scheduled for 2026, but additional delays occurred as lawyers continued fighting over evidence and courtroom issues.

The defense sought permission to introduce evidence it said supported its argument that Clenney was in an abusive relationship and acted in self-defense.

Prosecutors maintained that the evidence supported their allegation that Clenney was responsible for Obumseli’s death.

July 2026: Final pretrial disputes and plea deal reached

In the weeks before trial, Clenney’s lawyers sought to introduce additional evidence involving Obumseli’s alleged past conduct, arguing it was relevant to her self-defense claim.

The case appeared headed toward a courtroom showdown before the plea agreement was announced.

The deal brings a major shift in a case that has been defined by competing claims: prosecutors alleging murder and the defense arguing self-defense.
