OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney will spend just two more years behind bars after she accepted a plea deal and was sentenced in the 2022 murder of her boyfriend, Christian “Toby” Obumseli.
During a court hearing on Monday, August 10, prosecutors and her attorneys revealed that Clenney, 30, was ultimately charged with manslaughter with a deadly weapon as part of a plea deal.
Prior to accepting the deal, Clenney had been facing second-degree murder charges after she fatally stabbed Obumseli, 27, in their Miami high-rise apartment.
Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson ultimately sentenced Clenney to six years behind bars with time served. Once she is released from prison, Clenney will have to serve five years of probation.
Mackenzie Shirilla became the subject of national attention after a fatal July 2022 car crash in Strongsville, Ohio, killed her boyfriend and their close friend — and her story has only intensified in the wake of Netflix’s documentary The Crash. As viewers process the chilling details of the case, many are asking the same question: […]
Clenney is expected to be behind bars for about two more years, as she has already served four years after her arrest in 2022. With credits, she could be released in just over a year and a half.
After Clenney’s sentence was revealed, Obumseli’s mother, Chio Obumseli, addressed the courtroom. “There is simply too much pain to put on paper,” she said, according to The Daily Mail. “Four years later there are still nights when I cannot sleep. I do not want Christian to be remembered only for how he died.”
“Christian was my son, everyone who knew Christian can attest that he was kindhearted, compassionate, friendly and respectful,” Chio continued. “Nothing can describe what it feels like for a mother to stand at the grave of her child.”
Chio went on to say that their family has “lived with the loss every day and waited for accountability” for the past four years.
“Today closes a legal chapter, but it certainly doesn’t close our grief. No sentence, no plea can bring back my son to me,” she concluded.
Clenney wiped tears from her eyes with a tissue as Chio gave her victim’s impact statement, per the outlet.
As Us previously reported, Clenney was arrested just days after Christian was killed on April 3, 2022. An autopsy report revealed that he died from a single, three-inch-deep stab wound to the chest that punctured his subclavian artery.
She claimed to have killed him in self-defense, alleging that she threw a knife at him during an altercation.
Hollywood film producer David Brian Pearce has been sentenced over the fentanyl-induced murders of two women. In February 2025, Pearce was found guilty on two counts of first-degree murder over the deaths of model Christy Giles and Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola. While receiving his sentence in October 2025, Pearce was also convicted of multiple sexual assault […]
Before she accepted the plea deal, Clenney’s legal team revealed that they planned to use text messages the defendant exchanged with Christian in order to prove that he was abusive.
Clenney claimed that Christian was abusive at least nine times over the course of their relationship. She also alleged that he punched her in the face and fractured her ribs just months before he died.
Obumseli’s family, however, said that she was the aggressor in their relationship and that he was often subject to abuse.
Prior to the killing, Clenney had a large following on social media. She had over 2 million followers on Instagram, as well as had a popular presence on OnlyFans.
