Outrage! Only Fans "Model" to Walk Free On Murder Charges!
OnlyFans model and Instagram influencer Courtney Clenney arrested on charges that she stabbed her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, 27, to death at their Miami high-rise home.   An attorney for Clenney says that the 25-year-old “was a victim of physical, emotional, and mental abuse at the hands of Obumseli” and killed him in self-defense. The two had been dating for about two years and lived at the apartment building for several months. Police responded to multiple calls to the apartment, and apartment staff  also noted multiple domestic incidents and tried to evict them.  Friends of the couple said it was unimaginable that Obumseli could have been violent toward Clenney, saying while they had seen Clenney hit Obumseli, they had never seen him hit her. Now, Clenney, pleaded guilty to manslaughter with a deadly weapon in Christian's death.  An autopsy found a single three‑inch‑deep stab wound to the chest that punctured his subclavian artery.  Clenney initially claimed self‑defense, saying she threw a kitchen knife at him from about 10 feet away  Miami police body‑camera footage showed Clenney covered in blood after the attack. Clenney was sentenced to six years in prison and five years of probation, with credit for roughly four years already served.   It's possible she will be released in less than 2 years.      Joining Nancy Grace today:  Mark Astor   - Criminal Defense Attorney at Astor Simovitch Law, Host: 'The Journey by Mark Astor,' Website: mentalhealthaddictionlawfirm.com Dr. Janie Lacy - Licensed Psychotherapist and CEO of Life Counseling Solutions, Author of "How To Heal From A Toxic Relationship: A Guide To Reclaiming Your Mental Health and Happiness", Host of "Let's Talk About It with Janie Lacy” Podcast on YouTube, janielacy.com, Instagram & Facebook: @JanieLacy Robert Crispin -  Private Investigator “Crispin Special Investigations”, Former Federal Task Force Officer for the United States Department of Justice, DEA and Miami Field Division.

CHILLING: LAST HOURS OF LINDSAY CLANCY'S 3 TOTS BEFORE MURDERS
Nancy Grace and her expert panel examine the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse accused of strangling her three young children: Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and eight-month-old Callan. Clancy wrapped exercise bands around the children's necks in their home's basement before slitting her wrists and jumping from a second-story window. The team analyzes the prosecution's argument that Clancy meticulously planned the killings after searching ways to kill online and sending her husband out for takeout food and pharmacy prescriptions, contrasting it with defense claims that she suffered a severe psychotic break triggered by postpartum psychosis and a cocktail of psychiatric medications. Nancy breaks down what happened in court, reviewing testimony from a lifelong friend, distressing autopsy findings, emergency dispatch recordings, and the details of a jury walkthrough at the Duxbury crime scene.

'FRIENDS' STAR MATTHEW PERRY'S SISTERS BLAST 'FRIEND' WHO 'INJECTED'  HIM & LEFT
Five people were arrested in the death of actor Mathew Perry. Federal Prosecutors alleged Perry first obtains ketamine from an unscrupulous doctor aiming to take advantage of the actor’s addiction issues. Dr. Salvador Plasencia teaches Perry’s live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa how to administer the drug, and provides ketamine to both Perry and Iwamasa at exorbitant prices. When the drugs become too expensive, Perry and Iwamasa turn to street dealers   Assistant Kenneth Iwamasa reaches out to several street dealers. Eric Fleming agrees to a deal, and turns to his supplier Jasveen Sangha, dubbed “The Ketamine Queen.”  Fleming pays Sangha for the drugs with cash from Iwamasa.  In two weeks, Sangha provides Fleming and Iwamasa 50 vials of ketamine to distribute to Perry for $11,000. When news of Perry’s death begins to circulate, Sangha texts Fleming, “Delete all of our messages.” Now, Matthew Perry’s sisters, Caitlin and Madeline Morrison, speak out accusing assistant, Kenneth “Kenny” Iwamasa, accusing him of directly causing his death. The sisters described Iwamasa as someone Perry trusted and considered family. Madeline Morrison wrote that Iwamasa “had injected my brother with a lethal dose of ketamine and left him in a hot tub to die”, calling the betrayal “something I never could have conceived.”  Caitlin Morrison echoed the sentiments, stating she could not determine if the lethal ketamine dose was accidental, but she knew Iwamasa was either “escaping from something he knew he had done” or “willfully abandoning a vulnerable person in a dangerous situation” when he left Perry.     Kenneth “Kenny” Iwamasa  was sentenced on May 27, 2026 to 3 years and 5 months in federal prison and received a $10,000 fine. He was ordered to serve two years of supervised release after his prison term.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
