Courtney Clenney’s attorneys argued Thursday for a judge to keep a document away from the public eye

A Miami social media model accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend in 2022 was back in court Thursday afternoon.

Courtney Clenney, 28, is facing a second-degree murder charge in the April 2022 stabbing death of her boyfriend, 27-year-old Christian Obumseli, at the couple's Edgewater condo.

Her attorneys argued Thursday for a judge to keep a document away from the public eye – a checklist that supposedly lays out their case to defend Clenney.

State attorneys got a hold of that document through their investigation of the case. However, her attorneys claim that information should be confidential and consider it attorney-client privilege.

The judge is expected to rule on the document next month.

Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said the couple had an "extremely tempestuous and combative relationship" and that Obumseli was the victim of domestic violence, while Clenney's attorneys have said she was the victim of an abusive relationship and that she stabbed him in self-defense.

Clenney has remained jailed without bond while she awaits trial, but her attorneys have previously sought to have her released. She has pleaded not guilty.

Clenney, who went by the name Courtney Tailor on social media, including on OnlyFans, had more than 2 million Instagram followers at the time of Obumseli's death.
