An OnlyFans model accused in one of Miami’s most closely watched criminal cases will head to trial next spring, after a judge again declined to release her from custody.
According to The Miami Herald, Courtney Clenney, a 29-year-old social media personality known online as Courtney Tailor, is scheduled to stand trial on April 27, 2026, in Miami-Dade Circuit Court.
The date was set during a recent hearing where Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson also denied Clenney’s latest request for bond. Prosecutors estimate the trial will last less than two weeks.
Clenney has been jailed since August 2022, when she was arrested in Hawaii and extradited to Florida in connection with the April 2022 stabbing death of her boyfriend, Christian “Toby” Obumseli, inside their bayfront Miami condominium. She is charged with second-degree murder and faces a potential life sentence if convicted.
Prosecutors allege Obumseli, 27, died from a forceful stab wound that penetrated several inches into his chest and pierced a major artery. According to the Miami-Dade medical examiner, the injury was inconsistent with Clenney’s claim that she threw a knife from across the room. Clenney has acknowledged causing Obumseli’s death but maintains she acted in self-defense.
Defense attorneys have argued the couple’s relationship was volatile and abusive, and they continue to push for the charge to be reduced to manslaughter.
Attorney Frank Prieto told the court that Clenney is not a flight risk, no longer has significant financial resources, and would live under strict supervision with her parents in Texas if released. “The calculus has changed significantly,” Prieto said, citing what he described as new evidence.
Prosecutors strongly disagreed, citing Clenney’s prior violations of court conditions in other states and financial transfers to her family.
Assistant State Attorney Shawn Abuhoff warned the court that Clenney still has access to substantial resources and motivation to flee. “She’s facing life in prison, judge,” Abuhoff said during the hearing.
The case has also been complicated by prior allegations of misconduct involving the prosecution. In 2024, a judge ruled that investigators improperly obtained privileged communications between Clenney, her parents, and their attorneys, leading to the dismissal of separate computer-hacking charges against her family and the withdrawal of a former lead prosecutor.
Clenney’s next court appearance is scheduled for January 20, 2026.
