OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney tells Miami police her boyfriend was 'stalking' her days before his fatal stabbing
Bodycam footage from Miami police shows Courtney Clenney speaking with officers about her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli.
OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney was denied bond ahead of her trial for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend to death earlier this year.
Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Lauren Shearon Cruz denied the bond on Thursday morning, after she postponed a decision on whether to grant Clenney bond in November.
Clenney was seen crying in the courtroom while wearing pink handcuffs before the judge issued her decision.
Clenney, 26, is charged with one count of second-degree murder for allegedly stabbing her 27-year-old boyfriend Christian Obumseli in the chest with a kitchen knife on April 3 inside their luxury Miami apartment.

A Miami police detective said at a hearing earlier this year that investigators initially believed Clenney acted in self-defense. Clenney's lawyers have also argued that she was a victim of domestic violence and acted in self-defense.
