Florida judge rejects bail for OnlyFans murder accused model Courtney Clenney

Clenney has claimed in court through her attorneys that she was acting in self-defense

A judge in Florida has refused bail to OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney who was arrested for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend to death.

Ms Clenney has claimed in court through her attorneys that she was acting in self-defense when she stabbed boyfriend Christian Obumseli to death on 3 April.

Judge Laura Shearon Cruz denied bail 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,” the order was quoted as saying by the New York Post.

The judge further wrote: “There is no dispute that defendant killed victim in this case.”

“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.”

Earlier Ms Clenney told investigators that Obumseli pushed and threw her to the floor during a violent confrontation, and she then grabbed a knife and threw it at him from 10ft (3m) away.

The medical examiner said Obumseli’s wound could not have been caused by a knife thrown from that distance.

Ms Clenney’s attorney, Larry Prieto, has said that additional evidence will provided a more holistic and less one-sided picture of their relationship.

Ms Clenney, who was known as Courtney Tailor on OnlyFans, was arrested in Hawaii in August and extradited to Florida.

Her 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.

A court in Miami has previously heard that Ms Clenney earned more than $3m since 2020 from her OnlyFans accounts, according to Fox News.

The platform allows models and celebrities to charge fans monthly subscriptions for adult content.

Her father told the court that her account had been shut down after her arrest.
