FL v. Courtney Clenney — OnlyFans Trial Recordings Suppressed

Before Christian Obumseli was stabbed to death in his Miami apartment, he hid his phone and recorded Courtney Clenney without her knowledge. More than fifteen times, according to court filings. What he captured is brutal to listen to — racial slurs, screaming, a demand to be allowed to hit him, the audible sound of a slap. Prosecutors say one recording captures Clenney telling Obumseli to "enjoy the hospital" after reportedly splitting his lip. They called that recording critical to their case.

But the jury may never hear most of it.

Judge Andrea Wolfson ruled the majority of those recordings inadmissible. The apartment recordings — where the most damning audio was captured — are suppressed because Clenney had a reasonable expectation of privacy in her own home under Florida law. The only recordings the jury gets are from shared spaces: the building lobby and the apartment balcony.

The defense had pushed for full suppression, arguing the recordings were not just illegal but manufactured — that Obumseli provoked Clenney deliberately, captured her reactions while keeping his own behavior off tape, and used the results as leverage against a woman whose career depended on her public image. Their filings describe his behavior as manipulative gaslighting and characterize the recordings as a tool of psychological control.

The prosecution sees it the opposite way. A man being abused. A man being called racial slurs by his partner. A man who knew that without proof, no one would believe him — so he pressed record and hoped the documentation would matter. It turned out to be too late.

Same recordings. Two completely different explanations. A judge who decided most of it stays out. And a jury that will have to figure out who was really in control of this relationship with the audio record largely off limits.

Hidden Killers covers both sides — what was on the tapes, why they were suppressed, and what it means for the trial ahead.
