*TRIGGER WARNING*
This episode includes details of domestic violence and domestic abuse.  Listener discretion is advised.

In April 2022, 27-year-old Christian Obumseli was living in Miami Florida with his girlfriend, Only Fans model Courtney Clenney, also known as Courtney Tailor on social media.  While the couple had been together for over two years, their relationship was a toxic and tumultuous one that ended in murder.

While Courtney claims self defense the evidence appears to prove otherwise.  Listen to Christian's story now and watch for trial updates in the near future.

*If you or anyone you know is a victim of abuse please contact the National Domestic Violence hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or text the word BEGIN to 88788*
