As of mid-2026, Courtney Clenney is being held without bond at a Miami-Dade County corrections facility, where she has been in continuous custody since her arrest in August 2022. She is awaiting trial on a charge of second-degree murder with a deadly weapon in the stabbing death of her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, and her trial has been tentatively pushed to August 2026 after repeated delays. If you have been searching for where Courtney Clenney is now, the short answer is jail, still, nearly four years after the killing.
Still in Custody in Miami-Dade
Clenney, the OnlyFans model and Instagram influencer known online as “Courtney Tailor,” was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami on August 26, 2022, after being extradited from Hawaii.1NBC Miami.

Bond Has Been Denied Repeatedly
Clenney has been denied bond multiple times. Documented denials occurred in November 2024 and again in December 2025.4Court TV. Courtney Clenney At the December 2025 hearing before Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson, her attorneys argued she was not a flight risk, lacked the financial means to flee, posed no danger, and could live with her parents in Bee Cave, Texas, under house arrest. Prosecutors countered that Clenney had access to millions of dollars and the potential to earn more, faced a life sentence if convicted, and had previously violated court conditions in Texas and Nevada.5Miami Herald.

The Charge and Her Defense
Clenney called 911 from the Edgewater apartment she shared with Obumseli on the night of April 3, 2022. Obumseli, 27, was found with a stab wound to his chest. The Miami-Dade County medical examiner described a “forceful downward thrust from a blade that went three inches into his chest, piercing a major artery.”6Fox 7 Austin.

Clenney has pleaded not guilty. She acknowledged killing Obumseli but told investigators she acted in self-defense, saying he pushed her and threw her to the ground and that she threw the knife at him from about ten feet away. The medical examiner said the wound was inconsistent with a knife thrown from that distance.6Fox 7 Austin.

Prosecutors have a different picture. At the press conference announcing her arrest, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle described the couple’s relationship as “extremely tempestuous and combative” and called Obumseli a “victim of domestic violence.”9NBC Miami.

Why the Trial Keeps Getting Pushed
Several overlapping disputes have kept the case from reaching a jury.
A Privilege Fight That Cost the State Its Lead Prosecutor
The most consequential thread began with separate computer hacking charges filed against Clenney and her parents, Kim and Deborah Clenney, over allegedly accessing Obumseli’s laptop after his death. In investigating those charges, prosecutors obtained a warrant for a family iCloud account. The defense alleged the resulting search exposed over 4,000 messages between the Clenney family and their attorneys, including a group text thread called “Team Courtney” and a defense strategy document titled “Courtney Checklist of Things to Do—Privileged.docx.”9NBC Miami. Attorneys for OnlyFans Model Accused of Murder Allowed to Question Prosecutor
In June 2024, Judge Laura Cruz ruled that prosecutors had violated attorney-client privilege and ordered the material excluded. She found that prosecutors wore “prosecutorial blinders” and “unilaterally” concluded the Clenneys and their lawyers had committed a crime rather than bringing the communications to the court for review.11Court TV.

The fallout reached the murder case. The defense learned that lead prosecutor Khalil Quinan had viewed and shared the privileged strategy document. In February 2025, Judge Cruz allowed the defense to depose Quinan under oath.9NBC Miami.

Courtney Clenney Lead Prosecutor Steps Down
Prieto and Puglisi have since moved to disqualify the entire Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office from the murder case, arguing that even prosecutors who did not personally review the privileged material ratified the misconduct by failing to intervene. Abuhoff and fellow prosecutor Kathleen Hoague testified under oath that they had not reviewed any of the privileged communications. A hearing on the disqualification motion is scheduled for July 2026.14NBC Miami. Miami OnlyFans Model Accused of Murder Seeks to Disqualify State Attorney’s Office
Missing Witnesses and Discovery Problems
A trial date had been set for April 27, 2026. It was postponed after a joint motion from both sides when 15 to 16 “Williams rule” witnesses, whom the prosecution intended to use to show a pattern of past behavior, failed to appear for scheduled depositions.15Court TV. Courtney Clenney’s Murder Trial Delayed Until Summer Outstanding discovery and the need for a state-appointed expert to evaluate Clenney also fed the delay.
Judge Wolfson granted the continuance but called it a “final continuance,” warning that “there’s going to come a time when it’s fish or cut bait.”15Court TV.

Destroyed Evidence and an Undisclosed Witness
The defense has also alleged that critical evidence was destroyed. Condo building employee Danny Del Valle testified in a deposition that he was first to enter Clenney’s apartment after the 911 call and took photographs and video of the scene before police and paramedics arrived. Del Valle said responding officers ordered him to delete the recordings. The defense has called this a “Youngblood violation” and cited it as grounds for dismissal, saying the images could have captured blood spatter evidence before first responders altered the scene.16Court TV.

Separately, the defense alleges prosecutors failed to disclose a neighbor, Arthur Cup, who approached police to say he had witnessed Obumseli “wailing” on Clenney in the days before his death, characterizing the failure as a Brady violation.16Court TV.

What Comes Next
As of June 2026, no formal trial date has been set, though both parties are aiming for the third week of August 2026. The defense has scheduled more than eight depositions for early June, and the prosecution has an expert evaluation of Clenney set for June 9, 2026.2Court TV.
