1:00:29Now PlayingInstagram Influencer and model Courtney Clenney was facing the possibility of life in prison for the fatal stabbing of her boyfriend, Christian “Toby” Obumseli. Instead, the 30-year-old Instagram influencer has secured the plea deal of a LIFETIME that could have her walking free in as little as 18 to 20 months. Clenney, known online as “Courtney Tailor,” was originally charged with second-degree murder with a deadly weapon after stabbing Obumseli inside their Miami apartment on April 3, 2022. On August 10, 2026, just weeks before her murder trial was expected to begin, she pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of manslaughter with a deadly weapon and received six years in prison, five years of probation and credit for the four years she has already served. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg to examine how a murder case built around explosive videos and audio recordings and disputed claims of self-defense ended with such an astonishingly lenient sentence.
