Courtney Clenney was sentenced to six years in prison on Monday as she pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the April 2022 stabbing of her boyfriend in their Miami apartment.
Clenney, 30, was facing second-degree murder charges in the April 3, 2022 death of Christian Obumseli, 27, at the One Paraiso condo located in the Edgewater area of Miami. If found guilty, Clenney would face life in prison, but she came up with a deal with the prosecutors of Miami-Dade.
According to the deal, Clenney will serve six years behind bars with time served credits, in addition to five years of probation, as per the report from NBC6 South Florida. She was arrested on August 15, 2022, and has been jailed without bond; thus, Clenney is expected to stay in jail for a further two years.
It also required Clenney to undergo a mental health evaluation and substance abuse treatment, as well as not derive any financial benefits from the case.
Clenney gained a following of approximately 2 million subscribers on Instagram as Courtney Tailor and did not deny stabbing Obumseli, but she defended herself against an abusive partner. Her lawyer, Frank Prieto, added that Clenney stabbed Obumseli by throwing a kitchen knife from a distance to defend herself.
