Tuesday 6 September 2022 07:44 PM OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney seen in court for the first time since being ... trends now
The OnlyFans model accused of killing her boyfriend was seen in court on for the first time since her arrest in August, clad in an orange jumpsuit instead of a string bikini.
Courtney Clenney, 26, appeared at an evidentiary hearing in a Florida courtroom on Tuesday. She faces second-degree murder charges for fatally stabbing her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, 27, in the chest while the two argued on April 3.
Clenney, who goes by Courtney Tailor online, has claimed the stabbing took place in self defense.
Her appearance comes just over a week after her attorney, Frank Prieto, argued her charges should be reduced to manslaughter and she should be offered bond.
'I feel it's important that the court be made aware that that warrant that judge signed that he did find probable cause however,' Prieto said last week, 'There's not probable cause for second-degree murder... at best it's manslaughter.'
At that, hearing the Miami-Dade judge declined to rule saying she was not informed enough about the case to make a decision and she was returned to prison without bond.

To bolster her self-defense story, Clenney's attorney previously asked that Obumseli's corpse be dug up and inspected by a medical examiner.
Miami Attorney Katherine Fernandez said Clenney claimed to have stabbed Obumseli in the chest after he grabbed her by the throat at their luxury apartment in the One Paraiso building in Edgewater, Miami in April, according to the Miami Herald.
Clenney said she threw the knife at her boyfriend from more than 10 feet away, but Fernandez said the autopsy revealed a deep wound that could only be done at a close distance.
The OnlyFans model was temporarily arrested after cops found her coated in blood on her balcony, but was later released because they believed she had acted in self-defense.
Until her arrest earlier this month she has been on Hawaii's Big Island where she was being treated for substance abuse and PTSD.

Obumseli's body was buried in Texas following his death. The 27-year-old's family attorney, Larry Handfield, said the effort from Clenney's attorney is 'an act of desperation,' and to dig up the body would go against the family's religious values.
Prieto also asked to halt the release of evidence against Clenney without the judge's first initial inspection of the material.
The motion came after the release of elevator footage from the couple's Miami apartment that showed the model viciously punch and kick Obumseli two months before his death.
