OnlyFans creator Courtney Clenney is preparing to stand trial for the death of her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, with new court filings shifting the conversation ahead of the highly anticipated case. Clenney’s defense team has argued that Obumseli abused her repeatedly in the months before his death, while prosecutors continue to build a second-degree murder case. The trial is scheduled to begin in August 2026. Obumseli died at the age of 27 on April 3, 2022, after he was stabbed inside the Miami, Florida, apartment he shared with Clenney. A medical examiner determined the knife wound to his chest was three inches deep. Clenney was arrested in August 2022 while in Hawaii and was later extradited to Florida, where she has remained behind bars without bond since being taken into custody and pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. Clenney has maintained that she acted in self-defense, previously saying she threw a knife at Obumseli during a confrontation in their apartment and insisting she never intended to kill him. A new filing obtained by The New York Post outlines text messages her legal team plans to introduce as proof that Obumseli was abusive on at least nine occasions before his death.
