Parents of OnlyFans model charged with murder arrested for allegedly hacking into victim’s laptop
AUSTIN, Texas - The parents of an OnlyFans model who was charged with killing her boyfriend almost two years ago have been arrested for tampering with evidence in her murder case.
Courtney Clenney, an OnlyFans and Instagram star known online as Courtney Tailor, is facing a second-degree murder charge related to the April 2022 deadly stabbing of Christian Obumseli in Florida.
Her parents, 60-year-old Kim Dewayne Clenney and his wife, 57-year-old Deborah Lyn Clenney, were arrested in Austin earlier this week for allegedly hacking into a laptop that belonged to Obumseli.
The three are now facing one count of unauthorized access or excessive access to a computer, computer system or electronic device, a third-degree felony in Florida.

The arrest affidavits for Clenney's parents say that following Obumseli's death, many of his belongings were taken from the couple's Miami apartment and were not provided to his family, heirs or estate.
Investigators also confirmed with the attorney for Obumseli's estate that they had never received his property from anyone nor gave permission to anyone to possess, keep or access his laptop, says the affidavits.
A warrant was issued for the iCloud accounts of Clenney and her parents due to shared messages, photos and finances of the three, says the affidavits. Those warrants led investigators to uncover a group chat between Clenney's parents and Clenney's attorneys, which contained messages about Obumseli's laptop and how to access it, beginning the month after Clenney was arrested.
In one message, Clenney's father allegedly said "Hell yeah! That PIN worked," to which one of the attorneys replied "Kim. Hold off going through the computer please. I don't want to turn you into a witness just yet if you find something useful."
Deborah Clenney also allegedly transported the laptop to one of the attorneys in Dallas, says the affidavits. The laptop was then later turned over to an IT expert in Florida.
Who is Courtney Clenney?
Courtney Clenney (Hawaii Police Department)
Courtney Clenney was arrested in August 2022 in Hawaii for the April 2022 fatal stabbing of her live-in boyfriend, Christian Obumseli.
At the time of her arrest, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle characterized Obumseli's death at the couple's Miami apartment as the culmination of a "tempestuous and combative relationship" that began in November 2020.
The county medical examiner said in an autopsy report that Obumseli, who worked in cryptocurrency, died from a forceful downward thrust from a blade that went three inches into his chest, piercing a major artery.
An arrest report said that Clenney acknowledged killing Obumseli but said she was acting in self-defense. She said Obumseli had pushed her and thrown her to the floor, which prompted her to grab a knife and throw it at Obumseli from about 10 feet away. The medical examiner said Obumseli's wound could not have been caused by a knife thrown from that distance.

Aiden Nesvisky, former neighbor of social media model Courtney Clenney, says fights between Clenney and her boyfriend Christian Obumseli were frequent in the two years they lived above him in South Austin, and a painting was even thrown down onto his balcony. Clenney is charged with second-degree murder in Obumseli's death.

Clenney and Obumseli previously lived in a penthouse at the Berkshire Riverview in South Austin, where a neighbor who lived below them told FOX 7 Austin that their fights got so bad they quite literally spilled over into his apartment, such as when a tiger painting was thrown onto his tenth-floor balcony during a violent dispute.
Aidan Nesvisky told FOX 7 Austin that police were called on the couple multiple times, but when they moved to Florida, Rundle said the violence continued, getting so bad their building was prepared to evict them.
