Court records confirm that a plea agreement has been entered into but remains pending court approval.
On April 3, 2022, police responded to a violent altercation in a Miami condominium. They discovered the boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, deceased and the influencer, Clenney, bleeding and in shock.
Clenney, who commands more than two million followers on Instagram, initially departed South Florida before being returned to face a second‑degree murder charge.
Her legal representatives have declined to comment until the sentencing hearing scheduled for Monday.
A lawyer for the victim’s family stated the plea was reached with state endorsement to spare the family a protracted trial.
The family emphasized that a guilty plea would bring closure to a profoundly tragic event.
Clenney originally pleaded not guilty, asserting self‑defense amid frequent domestic disputes with Obumseli.
The defense later shifted to an accident narrative, presenting a video of knives thrown at a pig carcass to demonstrate a lack of intent to kill.
The footage, featuring a knife expert, shows blades hurled from a distance, used by the defense to argue Clenney’s credibility and the necessity of her actions.
Clenney admitted to throwing a knife but denied intent to kill, describing the relationship as volatile with violence primarily originating from her side.
In April 2024, police released footage showing Clenney in a state of hysteria, covered in blood, as officers arrived at the scene.
The video portrays Clenney holding the deceased, questioning officers about his death, and claiming she did not stab him but threw the knife from across the room.
