PROSECUTORS are fighting back in the case of an OnlyFans star accused of the brutal murder of her boyfriend.

Model Courtney Clenney’s legal team is now seeking to disqualify the state attorney’s office from the case after her parents were arrested in connection with the murder because of their texts.

Clenney, 29, was charged with second-degree murder in the April 2022 death of her boyfriend, 27-year-old Christian Obumseli.

Since her arrest, there have been many twists and turns in the case and she remains behind bars after pleading not guilty.

Two state attorneys were previously forced to affirm under oath that they did not violate their ethical duties after accusing her parents of trying to break into Obumseli’s laptop, according to court documents.

Kim and Deborah Clenney were arrested in February 2024 by the City of Miami Police Department.

Filings show prosecutors assigned to the case had gained access to their iCloud accounts and reportedly obtained messages that included the parents’ communication with their daughter’s attorneys on how to access Obumseli’s device.

However, Judge Laura Cruz later ruled that prosecutors violated attorney-client privilege by accessing the family‘s private conversations with their lawyers.

The parents were released and the charges were later dropped.

Assistant State Attorney Khalil Quinan withdrew from the case and was later deposed by Clenney’s defense attorneys.

Clenney’s team then filed a motion to disqualify the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office from prosecuting her earlier this month.

If the Miami-Dade state attorney’s office is kicked off the case, another country’s office could be assigned to the case but it would further delay the trial.

New court documents seen by The U.S. Sun show they are pushing back to have the court deny the motion.

They argue in filings, “The defense wants the court to grant this motion disqualifying the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office from prosecuting the defendant’s case based on an appearance of impropriety and hopes this court wrongfully punishes the office for the past wrongdoings of one individual.

“This is not the state of the law, and this Court should not be swayed by this argument.”

They then referenced a similar case in which removal of the prosecutor’s office was not warranted as the individual prosecutor was also taken off the case.

They concluded, “In this instance, the State has proactively taken corrective action without the court’s involvement and eliminated any current and future risk of prejudice to the defendant, thus alleviating the need for any further court intervention.”

Judge Cruz has yet to make a decision that could alter the course of the case and a hearing has been set for next month.

Defense attorneys Frank Prieto and Sabrina Puglisi previously expressed worry over what prosecutors potentially saw in the iCloud accounts.

Court filings show they believe the attorneys accessed information that included “communication regarding case investigation, witness testimony, defense witnesses, expert witnesses, financial obligations, defense theories, counsel’s thoughts and impressions, and opinions on the case.”

Clenney, who has pleaded not guilty, was popular on OnlyFans and still has 1.8 million followers on Instagram, which hasn’t been updated since before the tragedy.

The model previously stabbed her boyfriend in the leg during an earlier violent fight, and once threatened to kill him, prosecutors have alleged.

INSIDE THE COURTNEY CLENNEY CASE

Clenney and Obumseli met in 2020 and moved to Miami together in January 2022. Here are the key dates that you need to know:

July 2021: Clenney was arrested in Las Vegas for domestic battery on Obumseli and the case was later dropped.

March 2022: Clenney allegedly told friends that she no longer wanted to be with Obumseli, claiming he “is really not what you guys think he is,” Clenney’s friend Ara Borzorigan told Investigation Discovery.

The pair allegedly broke up for a few days, but Obumseli moved back into their Miami apartment on April 1, 2022.

April 2, 2022: Cops responded to a call about a disturbance and arrived to find that Clenney had kicked Obumseli out of their house and he allegedly tried to follow her into the elevator.

Clenney asks cops for a restraining order against Obumseli, claiming he stalks her. Obumseli later returns to the apartment and they seem to patch things up.

April 3, 2022: Clenney calls her mother at 4:43 pm and again at 4:49 pm during which her mother says she heard shouting and her daughter was telling Obumseli to leave the apartment.

At 4:57 pm Clenney called 911 after Obumseli was stabbed.

Cops arrive at 5:04 pm and find her “drenched in blood” according to comments made to ID and Obumseli is curled up on the floor, still alive, according to the police report.

Paramedics arrive and later he is declared dead. Clenney is interviewed by police and admits to causing the fatal injury.

April 4, 2022: A search warrant is issued for Clenney’s phone, emails, and other records, according to court filings.

August 4, 2022: Clenney charged with one count of second-degree murder.

August 9, 2022: Clenney is arrested in Hawaii where she had traveled to a rehab facility to recover from substance abuse and PTSD.

Video footage emerged of Clenney hitting Obumseli during an earlier argument in the same building.

But Clenney’s defense attorneys insist they have evidence that will prove she acted in self-defense when he died and she launched the knife at him from across the room.

The medical examiner’s report states that Obumseli was left with a stab wound that went three inches into his chest that could not have been caused by Clenney throwing the knife from 10 feet away.

Instead, it is claimed that the knife entered his chest in a downward stabbing motion.

Clenney’s attorney, Sabrina Puglisi, previously told The U.S. Sun her team has evidence that contradicts the medical examiner’s report.

“I 100% believe the evidence supports that she was acting in self-defense on that day,” she said.

“We hired a knife-throwing expert and we have done demonstrations on the closest thing you can find to the skin of a human.”

Using the skin of a hog, she claimed the team has “done demonstrations” that prove “it absolutely can be done.”

“I mean, even I threw the same knife from the distance and I was able to hit and get it into the animal. So it can be done.”

Puglisi added, “We also have our own defense medical examiner who will testify that he believes that that is incorrect, that you absolutely could throw this knife and it could go into that depth.”

She also admitted that Clenney and Obumseli had a “toxic relationship” and that “they should not have been together.”
