The Clenney family finds themselves embroiled in further legal complications as the parents of Courtney Clenney, the OnlyFans model accused in the tragic stabbing death of her boyfriend at their Miami residence, were apprehended on Tuesday in Austin, Texas, connected to their daughter's homicide case.
According to records obtained by CBS News Miami, Kim and Deborah Clenney were taken into custody by the Travis County Sheriff's Office at 2:34 p.m., facing out-of-state felony charges and held without bail for another jurisdiction.
The situation took a dramatic turn as attorneys for the Clenney family issued a statement expressing shock and concern over the arrests, alleging potential prosecutorial overreach and misconduct. They asserted that the charges against the Clenney family seemed inflated and aimed at tarnishing their reputation, casting doubt on the motives behind the arrests.
The arrest warrant affidavit reveals that Kim, Deborah, and Courtney Clenney are accused of unauthorized access to a computer belonging to Christian Obumseli, the deceased boyfriend. Courtney claims she acted in self-defense during the incident in 2022.
TMZ.com reported that the arrests stemmed from the discovery of a laptop belonging to Obumseli, allegedly taken by Courtney's father from the couple's shared apartment.
In response, a law firm representing Obumseli's family released a statement expressing dismay over the reported actions of Courtney's parents, emphasizing their commitment to seeking justice through the legal system.
New evidence, including a video depicting a volatile encounter between Clenney and Obumseli months before his death, has surfaced, shedding light on their tumultuous relationship. The footage, released by the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office, depicts Clenney striking Obumseli multiple times during a trip to Aspen, Colorado, and accusing him of infidelity.
Clenney's attorneys argue that the video illustrates a pattern of abuse by Obumseli, culminating in her alleged act of self-defense.
In court, Clenney faces charges of second-degree murder, with her legal team maintaining that she acted to protect herself during a domestic altercation.
