The tragic death of Christian “Toby” Obumseli continues to send shockwaves, as his family seeks justice and accountability. In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Toby’s parents have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Courtney Clenney, the OnlyFans model accused of his murder, along with the owners of the luxury Miami condominium complex where the couple resided and their security company.
A Toxic Relationship and a Family’s Pursuit of Justice
“This has absolutely devastated Toby’s entire family– his parents, his siblings, his cousins, his aunts, his uncles… I mean, this has just thrown a wrench into their entire lives,” shared Kim Wald, the attorney representing Toby’s parents, emphasizing the profound impact of his loss.
The lawsuit alleges negligence on the part of the involved parties, claiming they failed to provide a safe environment and adequately train their employees to handle such volatile situations. “If you own a piece of property, if you run a business in Florida, you have duties that come along with that obligation,” stated Wald.
A History of Violence and Alleged Inaction
The lawsuit points to a pattern of disturbing incidents between Clenney and Obumseli, alleging that the defendants were aware of the couple’s volatile relationship and failed to take appropriate action to protect Toby. “If you know that you have this violent criminal on your property… you have a duty to protect your residents, including Toby, and unfortunately we did not see that in this case,” asserted Wald.

Seeking Accountability and Damages
The lawsuit seeks a minimum of $50,000 in damages, though the final amount could be significantly higher. Clenney, who has been jailed awaiting trial and unable to generate income from her OnlyFans account, is believed to possess assets that the lawsuit aims to recover for the grieving family.
A Mother’s Plea for Justice
Toby’s mother, struggling to come to terms with the loss of her son, shared her anguish, “He was the kindest soul you could ever meet. He didn’t deserve this. No one deserves to die like that.”
The family’s legal team remains resolute in their pursuit of justice for Toby. “We know what she did to Toby,” declared Wald, “This was not self-defense. This was a volatile woman who was completely unstable and brutally murdered Toby for really no reason whatsoever.”
The lawsuit against Clenney, the condominium complex owners, and the security company is pending, leaving many questions unanswered as the legal battle unfolds.
