This is one of the worst in my life. I don't know what's happening is. Only fans' model turned convicted killer Courtney Clenney is facing time in prison for stabbing her boyfriend. How many times do you seven? I did not stab him once. I just threw it because I was scared. But we got our hands on her jail records,

which includes dozens and dozens of grievances that she filed while awaiting trial. From demands for a tighter uniform to her allegations of racism against staff, the reports give a pretty good indication of how Clenney was spending her time behind bars in a Miami jail cell. Welcome to Sidebar, presented by law and crime. I'm Jesse Weber.

When now 30-year-old Courtney Clenney called Miami 911 dispatchers in April of 2022, she was practically inconsolable. Ma'am, can you hear me? What do you mean he has a stab wound on his shoulder, ma'am? Yes, he's bleeding from his shoulder. Clenny told the dispatcher that her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Christian Obamselli, was bleeding profusely, that she needed help. So first responders, they rushed to this high-rise luxury building to try to save him.

Christian, relax. All right. Here, guys. Watch out. He's alive. Yeah, he's moving. Is this self-inflicted? No, we haven't.

We haven't asked. The shoulders is really deep. Clenny is covered in Christian's blood, and these officers are trying their best to get straight answers out of her about what happened. Please, come back. Listen, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, do me at first, sit down. Do not move. Why are you yelling at me? Do not move.

Do not move. We don't know, we don't know what's going on. We don't know what happened. I'm terrified for him. So, right now, yeah, don't worry. They're helping him. So just sit down. Don't move, okay? Oh my God.

Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh, my God. Oh, he's right there. Just... Stay down, stay down, relax. Jesse, come in here. Jesse, come in.

My dog, Timm, just bring my dog to me up. He'll be me. Yeah, leave it. Take the medical box there. I need you to get out of the way. Okay. Let's move. Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down.

Where do I go? Can I go outside? Sit down, sit down. Just, no, no, no, they won't bite. They won't bite. Just bring them out here. Okay, I'm asking you as a person, can you please bring my other dog out to me?

my other dog out to me. Your dog is right there. Forget about the dog now. Don't worry. Forget about the dog. But I'm covered in blood. It makes me look really hard. I was holding him.

I know, I know. We're trying to see what's going on. Come down, okay? Come down. Okay, come down. Come down. Come down. Okay, it's okay.

Baby, come on. It's all good. She's the girlfriend, yeah. She's in Hancock right now. You're the girlfriend? That's me. That's me. I'm covered in it. I was holding.

holding him the whole time. He was like, really? So who did it? Can you give us any information? Absolutely, I can't. It's a lot. Homicide, the one responding to the TV? Wait, is he dead? Is he dead? Is he dead? Sit down.

No, I'll sit down. I just, I just, I just, he's not dead, is he? We don't? No, they're taking him to the hospital right now. Oh, my God. I need to be at the hospital with him. Oh, you're not going in it. Why?

Because we're conducted on investigation. But here's the problem. Christian's wound was grave. He ended up dying. A medical examiner determined that the cause of death was a stab wound to the chest and that the manner of death was homicide. Specifically, this examiner found that the victim was stabbed

and that the knife punctured the subclavian artery in his right chest. In fact, according to the report, the medical examiner's findings, this knife went three inches deep. Now the detectives didn't confirm to Clennie that Christian had died until she was in an interview room at police headquarters.

We have to inform you that Christian did not make it. Unfortunately, the doctors did what they could. Kristen is dead. Yes. Oh, my God. Dead it. This is not real, right? Okay.

Christian died? Can I please have a hug? Am I allowed to do that in here? Sure. What are you in? Okay. Relax. You're fine.

No, no, no. Come back. Come now. Take your breath. Just take two breaths. We're going to be okay? I need to hug my mom. I'll talk.

I'll talk to your parents and get a move. I cannot be left alone in like a room by myself. You won't be. I'm sure. I'm like, No, that's not true. That's not, that's not real, right? It is real.

Christian didn't get. Yes. You're not going to lie. I know, I just can't believe that. I'll talk for your interviews. I'll get them in, I'll get your parents your age. So a few months after Christian died, this is when Clenny was arrested. She was out in Hawaii at the time, and she was officially charged with second-degree murder.

She was extradited from Hawaii, and this is where her attorney said. that she'd been in rehab, by the way. So she was locked up at Miami's Turner-Gilford-Night Correctional Center. She remained there without bond all the way up until she took a plea deal in August of this year. And she spent around four years in that facility, in that jail. And during that time, this is what we want to talk about. Clennie apparently racked up quite a mound of paperwork. So whether it was from disciplinary action, visitor logs, her own filed grievances,

Clennie's paper trail, it is significant. It took us a while to go through it. And we got our hands on these reports. And they give us kind of a unique look, a perspective, at how Clennie, this young woman who previously used her charm, her appearance, her looks to grab subscribers on OnlyFans, what she was doing, how she was acting off camera and away from the prying eyes of media members at her court appearances. So first, let's get into this.

I want to talk about Clennie's visitor log. Now remember, she was there for years, so it would make sense. That would be a pretty robust log. right? This log is more than 200 pages long. And it seems, though, that Clennie didn't have that many visitors, aside from her parents, her sister, her attorney team. Most of her visits were video visits, per the log. But we also went through more than 100 grievance reports. And this is with Clennie making a complaint of some kind in some way or another, and the administration responding many times. And there was an appeal interspersed here and there. But Clenney often

reported things like broken items, like phones, vending machines, complained about the state of this facility, like the showers, a lack of sports equipment on certain cell blocks, and she was moved from one housing unit to another at least once, and she made her opposition to that decision known, by the way. She also didn't really appreciate the fact that on days she had court, she had to get up super early in the morning, just to end up sitting around and waiting. I'll give an example. Look at this one. Quote, inmate Clenney, Courtney, states that on 1115 and 1117, She was taken from her unit at roughly 5 a.m. for 1 p.m. court appearances and had to sit in a freezing holding cell for six hours prior to court on both days. She is requesting to be picked up on a later run when attending afternoon court dates.

Now, the jail administrators responded that they would work on getting her on a later transport. This is according to the files that we received. But that wasn't the only time that she complained about having to go to court. Another grievance reads, Inmate stated, due to the high-profile nature of my case, not be transported in mass with orange jumpers. Each of my court dates is on TV. On 9-11, while standing with female OJs, they called me by name and expressed their dislike for my case. Numerous male OJs stood only feet away from me, harassing me. And she got this response from

administration. After a thorough investigation, I have confirmed that you are being transported in a separate compartment, which is standard protocol for cases of this nature. Upon arrival at the pretrial detention facility, you are offloaded and escorted alone. But the grievance responses also called out Clennie for her own seemingly bad behavior. For example, Clennie filed this report. Inmate's dates on 41423 due to being very late to my video visit while Nelson ignored my knocks. I went to the desk during floor time and asked for why she ignored me at the time of my visit and made me so late. She responded by rolling her eyes, laughing and saying, because I can. I told her that's petty and it's not right to do

on purpose. She admitted she does it on purpose. This happens often, and she tried to antagonize me by repeating over and over in a mocking voice, what are you going to do about it? I said, huh? She laughs again, gets on the phone and then says, and what do you want me to do? So I said, your job. Then I walked away from her to the phone area because I could tell she was trying to get a rise out of me. She then followed me, furthering the conflict, yelling at me, I'll make you double as late next time. I turned around and asked, is she really going to do that? That's the way. That's mean as hell. Nelms came in at that time and Nelson told me to go to my room.

I looked at Nelms and said, okay, and talked to her at my room. This is not the first time Nelson has tried to antagonize me. In the past, she has taunted me about my case on multiple occasions to get a reaction, but I ignored her taunts. I believe there needs to be higher standards and investigation into the conduct of officers and the way some of them interact with inmates. Tonight, Nelson proudly admitted she makes me late on purpose, tried to start an argument with taunting questions.

and then followed me, further conflict and shout profanity and threats at me after I walked away from the problem. I suspect she will write a DR and lie about it since she has a history of doing so. I can't tolerate abuse and have got to acknowledge that I have been targeted now and in the past. Thank you. So this is the response that Clenny got. You have several documented reports of you being disrespectful and refusing to obey staff. When the officer gives you a verbal order, you are expected to comply with that order in a timely manner. and it should not interfere with the order or security of the unit or the facility.

When this occurs, the officer must take measures to maintain order within the unit. That may not be in your favor. Clennie's jail uniform was also the subject of grievances, multiple grievances, often coming after Clenny didn't get the size uniform that she wanted or got in trouble for modifications. So here's a few of her complaints. Quote, inmates stated morning shift on 129, sanitation refused to provide my size uniform due to an officer instructing to give me large sizes because she thinks my uniform is too tight. Mine is loose and are falling off my hips.

It makes me uncomfortable, and I am tired of being sexualized by staff at this facility. Note, I am afraid of retaliation for raising this issue. What about this one? Inmate stated today at about 10, 15 a.m., T.Crap approached my door for linen exchange. I stated that I needed a medium uniform because my large is baggy. She said, no, that I'd be receiving a large. When I asked why, she stated, we don't need to see all that thickness. You've gained a lot of weight.

No officer should comment about my body weight. Unfortunately, this is representative of the sort of inappropriate comments I've received by staff while at this facility. Note, I don't typically name officers and grievances due to fear of retaliation, but I am fed up at this point. It's wrong. What about this? Inmate stated, I was given a DR disciplinary report for sweats that were not altered, a pen that is not monitored. a pen that is not mine and colored underwear. The same kind of items were in other inmates' possession in the same unit, but were not confiscated

or disciplined. My colored underwear has made it through over two years of shakedowns, including the entry shakedown and 4-4. And of many inmates who have the same kind of items, I was the one chosen to be penalized. Disciplines should apply equally among all inmates. I am concerned about the parts favoritism and possibly racism played in this disciplinary decision. And Clennie also didn't appreciate that makeup was no longer available. Quote, inmate states, many things should be available to us women in jail that are not, but I will

highlight two important things. One is makeup through commissary that was needlessly discontinued before my entry. Access to makeup basics can make a difference in appearance, perception, in court. This especially applies to those like me who unfortunately face photo and video media coverage during every court appearance. Cosmetology services should also be available as they have been in the past. Men get plenty of extras at this facility, and cosmetology was an important one for women, according to many women here that I've spoken to.

My own needs included. And Clennie appeared to be very concerned that fellow inmates and guards knew about her court case and claimed that it was causing her problems behind bars. So you have this one that reads. Inmate stated sometime around 9.45 p.m. on 3.6.25 during the 3.11 shift, while a TV special about my case was airing, I personally witnessed Officer Gerrari.

ask inmates what channel it was on and then relay that information to an officer in another unit so that they could play it in their unit. When I nervously asked her why she was telling other units to watch it, she shrugged and said, well, it's on TV. This is extremely unprofessional and could put me at risk. Aside from myself, there were also other witnesses. Now, administrators responded that they would remind the guards to be professional. But there was another grievance from Clennie that I wanted to talk about. This is her complaint. that she shouldn't be kept in general population and accuse the guards, other inmates and media, again, of racism.

Quote, inmates stated, I fear for my safety in general population as my case is highly publicized, and the media has demonized me and deemed me as a racist in a predominantly black jail, putting me at a higher risk to be attacked. The harassment I have experienced has escalated since the airing of a CW documentary about my case that multiple GP units watched. I should be in protective custody like I was for two and a half years. The response, inmate Clenney, your grievance was received. Inmate Clenny, you are requesting protective custody, stating that your case is highly publicized.

However, you have been in jail for almost three years, and your case is not as highly publicized as it may have been three years ago when you initially came to jail. You will remain in general population unless something changes and would warrant you being in segregation. And then there was this alleged interaction between Clennie and a fellow inmate. Quote, inmates stated at approximately 8.45 a.m., inmate trustee walked next to me while I was on a legal video visit with my attorney and stated, you're not going nowhere, Cracker, you're a killer. This is harassment and makes me very uncomfortable. There's another one involving a guard.

Inmate stated 5-725 approximately 11.15 a.m. While discussing location with Corporal Fancher, he asked why I feel unsafe. I answered that one reason is that a documentary about my case aired recently for many units to see. He then responded by mocking me, asking for my autographs several times. When asked to stop, he repeated the sarcastic request and even placed a pen and paper in front of me. I should be able to answer questions about my concerns honestly without being mocked or antagonized. Now, this time, the responding administrator called Clennie out, saying the guard completely contradicted what she claimed. Quote, I watched the video from Unit K-64 and I did observe you speaking with Corporal Fancher.

However, there is no audio as to what was being discussed. I spoke to Corporal Fancher, and he informed me that he has never mentioned anything about your case as he does not know or has any interest in knowing why you were in jail. Corporal Fancher stated that your conversation was about asking him how you can get back to Unit K-44. I did remind Corporal Fancher of our responsibility to remain professional at all times when interacting with the inmate population. Now, you heard there that Clennie wanted to get back to unit K-44, so she had been moved from that housing unit to another one. It's called 6-4, and she seemingly desperately wanted to go back there.

But her grievances surrounding that particular issue don't seem to have really gone anywhere. Now, that didn't stop Courtney Clennie from complaining about who she was housed with. Let me read you this one. Inmate stated, Officer Gaines placed me with a bunkie today, 4-925 at approximately 12 p.m., despite me pleading with her my concerns about this. I am very worried about the damage a Bunky could do to my court case considering all the attorney notes and extensive litigation materials in myself. I am especially concerned considering the popularity of jailhouse informants in high-profile cases.

But it seems she maybe used the wrong form here because the response was, Inmate Clenney, this grievance has been returned to you as not grievable. Please submit an inmate request to the facility supervisor with this concern. And the more that Clenney complained about other inmates knowing who she was, it seemed the argument would be the less patience the administration seemed to have. Quote, inmate Clenney, your case is over three years old and very few inmates may know about your case. However, it is completely impossible for you to be in a cell where no one knows your charges or your case due to the access that other inmates' family may have to the news, social media, and the internet in general. Therefore, an inmate knowing about your case is not a good reason to move you. All the female inmates move around in all the cells.

Therefore, wherever you go, the possibility is there that someone will know you and possibly your charges. Moving on from that, Clenney filed several grievances related to the phones and video visits as well as the vending machines. How about this one? Inmate's dated video visitation is glitching a lot. Specifically, on 826, a visit with my father experienced connectivity issues numerous times and had no audio on his end. This was a GTL slash TGK issue, not on his end. This system needs to be functional for us to visit with family. And then there's this one.

Inmate stated at 1230 p.m., I was charged 245 for Doritos that didn't come out. Now, Clennie also rallied behind an effort to help her unit get access to physical books, although it's unclear if her campaign was successful because I read from this one. Inmate Clennie stated, the plan to dispose of personal books is unethical and cruel and unusual punishment because, one, books on tablet will not be accessible for approximately 12 hours per day. Two, book selection on tablet is severely limited. Three, when tablets malfunction, we will have no way to read.

Four, it is detrimental to inmate mental health to have no access to chosen reading materials for significant periods of time each day and will cause agitation among inmates. So the responses to Clennie's reports often include mention of her alleged disrespect of the officers, the correctional officer, saying she's often seen on video yelling obscenities and being generally uncooperative. And when you think about that and you think about the correlation, one of the things that came to my mind is you go back to her case and you wonder, could you draw a line between those allegations and Clennie's reportedly turbulent relationship with Christian? Maybe it's not fair to make that comparison, but there were these accusations of physical and verbal abuse against the other. And sometimes that toxic energy was caught on camera. Like, I was over for two weeks, two weeks, two weeks, two weeks. And now why am I not somewhere?

Because I'm cute. You're hindering my progress. You need to sit down. Let go. Let go. Let go me. Come on. Okay.

Come on, boy. You don't. I can't even like, I'll do it. They're like, get the fuck on me. So after years of back and forth in court, more than four years after she was first locked up, Clennie agreed to a plea to a lesser charge of manslaughter. In anticipation of this plea, the state has filed an amended information

charging the defendant with one count of manslaughter with a deadly weapon. It is a first-degree felony, punchable up to 30 years in state prison. And that changes her guideline score from what it was to now 124.5 months in state prison, up to 30 years in state prison. Have you understood everything that was discussed with your attorneys prior to coming to court as well as what we're doing here in court today? Yes, Your Honor. I understand you wish to be guilty to manslaughter in exchange for the plea that was read into the record a moment ago. Has anyone, including your own attorney, promised you anything else?

Other than that? No. Has anyone forced, threatened, or coerced you to accept the plea at this time? No. Are you pleading guilty because you are in fact guilty as you're going to the fees in your best interest? Yes. Have you spoken to your attorneys about the plea? No.

Have they answered all of your questions? Yes. Do you need any more time to discuss the plea with your attorneys? No. Are you satisfied with their services? At this time, I will be adjudicating you. And I'm going to turn to page 3 of 8, to the charge of manslaughter with a deadly weapon.

I'm sentencing me to six years in the state prison with all applicable credit for time served, followed by five years of reporting probation. So because Clennie was giving credit for time served, she could theoretically be out in as little as two years, followed by probation. A representative for Christian's family had this to say at Clenney's sentencing. Fourth of 2022, Christian Ambuseli suffered a painful and tragic death at the hands of the person he loved. Sadly, that would be the person that would ultimately take his life. Christian loved deeply.

It was his love that caused him to stay. Even after being previously cut, in the face previously stabbed in the leg by Courtney. He would later write that his love would eventually get him killed. In many ways, he predicted his own death at the hands of Courtney Clay. Unfortunately, like so many individuals who are getting caught up in not loving relationship, but just destructive relationship.

He stated. And we are here today because what he believed became a reality. By resolving this case today, by way of a plea, Courtney Clinton avoids being judged by a jury of her peers, but that will never be able to escape the ultimate and final. judgment for anyone's conduct. That judgment can only be handled by our creator, our almighty brother. And according to the Florida Department of Corrections, Courtney Clenney is currently at the Women's Reception Center, which houses more than a thousand female inmates.
