Bodycam footage from the moments after OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney killed her boyfriend was released Monday.
Clenney, now 27, is charged with murder in the death of 28-year-old Christian Obumseli at their high-rise apartment in Miami on April 3, 2022. She has argued she acted in self-defense.
The video released Monday and obtained by local ABC affiliate WPLG shows an unsettled Clenney frantically asking officers who responded to the scene if Obumseli is OK. She asks, “Is he dead?” multiple times.
Parts of the video also show Clenney telling the cops she acted in self-defense after Obumseli physically attacked her.
“I am covered in his blood because I was trying to save him,” she also says at one point.
Authorities had previously released bodycam video from the chaotic scene, and the newest footage was from the officer dealing with Clenney directly. The cop told her multiple times to sit down and wait.
After a lengthy investigation, authorities arrested Clenney in August 2022, four months after Obumseli’s death, and charged her with murder.
Since Clenney’s arrest, authorities have shared several pieces of evidence that show her physically and verbally abusing Obumseli over the course of their turbulent relationship.
In an audio recording, Clenney is heard calling Obumseli the N-word. In cellphone video taken two months before Obumseli’s death, Clenney is seen slapping him multiple times.
Additionally, security video from the elevator at their Miami building captured Clenney pushing and punching Obumseli.
Clenney has claimed in court filings that Obumseli was the one abusing her, and she acted in self-defense when she stabbed him to death.
In January 2024, Clenney and her parents were also charged with cybercrimes, as police say they teamed up to access Obumseli’s computer after his death.
Clenney, who went by Courtney Tailor on Instagram, had more than 2 million followers on the platform before she was arrested. She still has 1.9 million almost two years later.
