A Florida judge rejected bail for accused OnlyFans killer Courtney Clenney on Thursday, arguing she didn’t buy her claim she stabbed her boyfriend in self-defense.
The social media starlet is facing murder charges for killing cryptocurrency trader Christian Obumseli in their Miami apartment in April. Obumseli is originally from Anambra state, Nigeria.
Asserting that she was fending off his attack before plunging a knife into his chest, Clenney and her attorney argued the case merited her release pending trial.
But after a hearing on the matter last month, Judge Laura Shearon Cruz denied the bid in a written order.
“From the evidence presented during this hearing, the Court does not find the Defendant’s claim of self-defense on April 3, 2022, credible,” she wrote.
Clenney, who cleared more than $3 million from the adult site since 2020 and boasts more than one million Instagram followers, will now remain bars as her case proceeds.
“There is no dispute that Defendant killed Victim in this case,” Shearon wrote in her order. “The only factual issue in dispute is whether Defendant was acting in self-defense and whether this claim rendered the state’s evidence doubtful. Clearly, Defendant and Victim had a sadly volatile relationship.”
Clenney’s attorney, Larry Prieto, has contended that additional evidence will paint a more comprehensive — and less one-sided — picture of the doomed relationship.
Clenney’s father, Kim Clenney, testified at the bail hearing last month he believed his daughter was the victim of abuse and that he stood by her.
The starlet’s once thriving OnlyFans account, which had made her a millionaire, was shuttered after her arrest, he added to the court.
Note: At first Civil Right Movements in the U.S refused to be a part of this as it came to light that the victim, Obumseli, was always making posts denigrating bIack women, he said he will never date a black woman because we are trashy and dirrrty and that our hair is not attractive among other demeaning comments against bIacks. He also posted he don’t talk to bIack girls. He bragged he only loves white women. Later the family apologised on his behalf. The pressure mounted on authorities led to her eventual arrest, as she almost got away with this murder. There is also a video tape of her beating him up in an elevator!
