OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney has reached a plea deal ahead of her scheduled trial on charges of second-degree murder for the death of her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli. Clenney, 30, was arrested in 2022 after Obumseli, 27, was found with a fatal stab wound in their Miami apartment. She claims she acted in self-defense, stating she threw a knife at him from a distance during a domestic dispute. Since her arrest, Clenney has been held in jail without bond. The plea agreement is set to be presented in court on August 10, with both her attorney and a representative for Obumseli’s family confirming that an agreement has been reached. Clenney’s relationship with Obumseli has been described as tumultuous, with previous reports of domestic disturbances requiring police intervention.
