Newly released footage appears to show Courtney Clenney attacking Christian Obumseli
OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney, who has been charged with the murder of her estranged boyfriend, previously attacked him in a lift, police have said.
Clenney, 26, who goes by the name Courtney Tailor on her social media accounts,
was arrested in Hawaii on Wednesday. She is waiting to be extradited to Florida, where she'll face a second degree murder charge for allegedly stabbing 27-year-old Christian 'Toby' Obumseli to death back in April.
The
OnlyFans star, who has over two million followers on Instagram, called officers just before 5pm on April 3 to report that Obumseli had been stabbed. Police arrived at their Miami apartment to find Obumseli had been stabbed in the shoulder. He was rushed to hospital but later died from his injuries.

A Miami Police Department spokesperson said there was a "physical altercation" between the pair before Obumseli was stabbed. Clenney's defence attorney insists that Clenney was acting in self-defence when Obumseli grabbed her by the throat after stalking her for weeks. However in the days after his death, Obumseli's family urged police to arrest Clenney, claiming that he had not been a threat.
And on Thursday, footage released by authorities allegedly showed Clenney attacking Obumseli while stood by a lift. In the incident, which took place two months before Obumseli died, he appeared to push Clenney back in an apparent attempt to block her attacks.

Obumseli’s family lawyer Larry Handfield has previously criticised claims that Clenney acted in self-defence, arguing that police officers were influenced by Clenney's "blonde hair and blue eyes".
Handfield also highlighted the fact that Clenney has an open warrant in California for a public intoxication case from 2015.

Clenney has been arrested in the past for domestic battery in Las Vegas, and police had been called to the couple's previous home in Austin Texas on numerous occasions throughout their less-than two year relationship.
At their most recent Miami pad, staff members had documented numerous domestic disturbance complaints about the couple and were seeking to evict them.
