Courtney Clenney’s lawyer claims the Miami Instagram model is “filled with total anguish and misery” after her boyfriend, Christian Tobechukwu Obumseli, was stabbed to death on April 3.

Obumseli, 27, was involved in a domestic violence episode with Clenney earlier this month and received “an apparent knife wound.” First responders took him to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead, according to a statement issued by Miami police at the time.

In this case, no charges have been brought. Clenney’s attorney, Frank Preito, stated that she was defending herself.

“Since the events of that tragic night, Courtney has been filled with absolute grief and despair,” Preito said. “Courtney is mourning the loss of Mr. Obumseli, in private, out of respect for his family. There is nothing we can say to alleviate the pain his family is going through; however, their calls for justice and an arrest in this matter are misplaced.”

He went on to say that “justice in this case requires no arrest or charges.”

“It is completely irresponsible for the family’s counsel… to claim that the events of that evening were ‘unprovoked,’ or to imply that she is receiving preferential treatment. Courtney is the victim of domestic violence and probably human trafficking, according to competent and strong evidence “Preito said. “There is no question that the two had a turbulent relationship; moreover, there is evidence that Courtney was a victim of physical, emotional, and mental abuse at the hands of Obumseli. That night was no exception, and Courtney had every right to protect herself because she feared for her life.”

Preito’s comment comes after Obumseli’s brother posted a message on social media regarding his brother’s death. Obumseli was “murdered in Florida a week before his 28th birthday” in a “selfish act,” according to a GoFundMe for his funeral, which has gathered over $80,000 in donations so far.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Jeffrey Obumseli stated that Clenney “has yet to clarify precisely what transpired leading up to Toby’s death.”

“The bottom line is inextricably clear: Courtney is being treated differently because of her privilege as a wealthy White woman,” Jeffrey Obumseli wrote on Instagram. “Within 24 hours following Toby’s death, the detective on the case prematurely concluded this was not a crime of violence.”
