A social media model accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend in their Miami apartment has been extradited back to south Florida.
Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Toni Schwartz said in an email that Clenney was transferred Thursday “to another jurisdiction” by federal authorities.
CBS Miami is reporting that Clenney, who has 2 million followers on Instagram as well as an OnlyFans page, has been booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami.
Clenney, who goes by the social media name Courtney Tailor, had been held at Hawaii Community Correctional Center since waiving an extradition hearing Aug. 12 in Hilo Circuit Court.
Clenney was arrested Aug. 10 by the U.S. Marshals Service in Hakalau on a warrant issued by Miami-Dade County, Florida, for the offense of murder in the second-degree. She gave Hawaii Police Department officers an Austin, Texas, address during booking at Hilo Police Station.
The model is accused of the April 3 fatal stabbing of her 27-year-old boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, in their luxury condominium at the One Paraiso Residences in Miami’s trendy Edgewater neighborhood.
Clenney, who was reportedly on the Big Island while in rehabilitation for substance abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder, has admitted to stabbing Obumseli, but maintained that the stabbing was in self-defense.
Obumseli, a Dallas native, was described by several online sources as an entrepreneur and a social media star and a former account executive for CBS Radio in Dallas.
Details of Clenney’s next court appearance have not been released.
