Newly released body camera footage shows Onlyfans model Courtney Clenney covered in blood after allegedly stabbing her boyfriend and pleading for paramedics to see him.
Clenney, 27, faces second-degree murder charges for the fatal stabbing of her boyfriend, cryptocurrency trader Christian Obumseli, in their Miami apartment on April 3, 2022.
The video obtained by WPLG showed the moment authorities entered the apartment and found the OnlyFans model cradling Obumseli crying ‘baby, baby, baby, wake up’ and ‘no, no, no’, as police told her to get away.
Clenney was covered in blood from head to toe, wearing soaked sweatpants and said, “I can’t let this happen, it wasn’t me” as police placed her hands behind her back and handcuffed her.
While speaking to police as paramedics tried to save Obumseli, she told them: “I’m terrified for him” and “I was really scared.”
“I’m covered in his blood because I was trying to save him… I need him, he was my other half,” Clenney said.

Clenney, 27, faces second-degree murder charges for the fatal stabbing of her boyfriend Christian Obumseli in their Miami apartment on April 3, 2022.
Clenney, who had used the name Courtney Tailor on platforms including Instagram and Onlyfans, acknowledged killing Obumseli but said he was acting in self-defense. Her attorney, Frank Prieto, said Obumseli was regularly abusive.
Prosecutors have said it was the culmination of a “tempestuous and combative relationship” that began in November 2020.
The model previously told investigators that Obumseli had pushed her and thrown her to the ground, prompting her to grab a knife and throw it at Obumseli from about three meters away.
But the medical examiner who performed the autopsy on Obumseli said his wound could not have been caused by a knife thrown from that distance.
When the stabbing occurred, police reports cited that officers arrived at his Miami home around 5 p.m. for an aggravated assault call.
Clenney was photographed wearing a blood-soaked robe and sweatpants, while Obumseli was rushed to hospital after being stabbed in the torso. He was pronounced dead upon arrival.
911 audio released after the stabbing revealed that Clenney told his ex-lover, “Honey, I’m so sorry” after allegedly plunging the knife.
She did not tell the operator that she had stabbed him, but she cried to him and told him how sorry she was.
In the background, Obumseli, 27, could be heard shouting: “I can’t feel my arm.”
Graphic photographs in the case have revealed that she stabbed her much larger boyfriend inches above a tattoo of his name in cursive on the left side of his chest.
At the time, Obumseli’s family said it showed she intended to kill him, but later regretted it once she saw what she had done.
Clenney is covered in blood almost from head to toe and told police: “I’m covered in his blood because I was trying to save him… I need him, he was my other half.”

Clenney is being sued for negligence by Obumseli’s family. His lawyers claim that he attacked his boyfriend after a “history of abuse” and that she had filed a restraining order against him just days before the attack.
Clenney was arrested in Hawaii in August 2022 and is awaiting trial. He pleaded not guilty to a new charge of interception of wire communications related to the murder of his boyfriend in February.
The new charge stems from the revelation that the model’s parents, Kim and Deborah Clenney, were arrested in connection with Obumseli’s murder.
Kim Clenney is accused of taking the cryptocurrency trader’s computer from a Miami crime scene after investigators missed it. She then allegedly logged in with a password provided by her daughter.
According to arrest warrants, detectives recovered text messages in which the parents discussed trying to access the computer.
He turned it over to his defense attorneys after finding nothing but a cryptocurrency exchange, TMZ reported, but he was arrested along with his wife for tampering with evidence.
A never-before-seen interview with TMZ, filmed before the parents’ arrest, showed they had a feeling prosecutors were after them, too.
Clenney was previously arrested for domestic battery in Las Vegas, and police were called to the couple’s home in Austin, Texas, on several occasions.

The model’s parents, Kim and Deborah Clenney, were arrested in connection with Obumseli’s murder. Her father is accused of taking the cryptocurrency trader’s computer from the crime scene.
Deborah Clenney told the interviewer: ‘Every word we say to each other is being recorded. The prosecution plays dirty.
‘They tried to act like I was manipulating her by texting her to say so, even though it was in self-defence.
“So I think they would use anything against her that they could.”
Kim Clenney added: “They will do and say anything to win this case.”
Clenney was previously arrested for domestic battery in Las Vegas, and police were called to the couple’s home in Austin, Texas, on several occasions.
The couple moved to Miami in early 2022 and staff and residents of the One Paraiso building where they lived reported multiple complaints of domestic disturbances about the couple, and had even taken steps to evict them.
