Courtney Clenney made a wise plea deal Monday, and could be a free woman in less than two years. The OnlyFans model, who was facing second-degree murder, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2022 death of her boyfriend Christian Obumseli . Courtney and prosecutors agreed to a sentence of 6 years in prison, but she gets credit for time served; she’s been behind bars 4 years to the day.
With credits, she could get out in a little over a year and a half. She was facing life in prison, so this is about as good a deal as she could get. When released, she will have to undergo mental health and substance abuse treatment. She’ll be moved from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center to a state prison facility in Florida.
Clenney was arrested in August 2022 in Hawaii after she stabbed Christian to death in their Miami apartment. She insisted she killed Obumseli in self-defense, telling detectives she grabbed a knife but told him she wouldn’t use it so long as he did not come any closer. Body cam footage captured the aftermath, including Courtney covered in blood asking cops if she’d killed Christian.
Christian’s family’s attorney Larry Handfield said the sentence would finally give his clients “some much-needed closure”.
