Bodycam footage has been released showing Courtney Clenney pleading with police days before her boyfriend's death.
The OnlyFans model has been accused of murdering Christian Obumseli, stabbing him during a domestic dispute back in April.
You can see Clenney speaking to police days before the incident:

On the phone with her mother at the time, the 26-year-old allegedly sabbed the knife into her partner's chest, slicing his subclavian artery, killing him.
In August, she was arrested in Hawaii, where she was being treated for post traumatic stress disorder, and extradited to Florida, where she was charged with second degree murder.
In newly released footage, Clenney can be seen talking to cops, claiming that Obumseli had been abusive towards her.
She tells the officers: "[He was], you know, stalking me. I want a restraining order against Christian Obumseli."

Elsewhere in the video, a security guard from the apartment building tells he saw Obumseli attack Clenney.
He says: "We get down here to the lobby area, and her boyfriend comes charging towards her."
Clenney's legal team told WSVN that they were 'looking forward' to going to trial and clearing her name.

"[Clenney told her boyfriend], ‘No, I don’t want you to come in here'," said attorney Sabrina Puglisi.
While attorney Frank Prieto added: "Mr Obumseli was the abuser."
When asked whether Clenney had been abused by him before the stabbing, Prieto said: "I have photographs of her injuries.
"She was in a struggle for her life. She defended herself, and unfortunately, he’s deceased, but she defended herself with every ounce of energy she had left."

Following the news that Clenney had been charged with Obumseli's murder, authorities released footage from the couple's apartment building, which showed them in a struggle.
Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle explained that the video shows the model as the 'primary aggressor' and may help contradict claims by her attorney, Frank Prieto, that she stabbed Obumseli in self-defense.
The video, which was released on 11 August, shows Clenney slamming what looks like an elevator’s control panel before hitting Obumseli.

Trying to avoid her assault, he is seen pushing her back before she continues to strike him over the head.
At the time of his death, Miami Police Department spokesperson said: "We know that there was a physical altercation between them before he was stabbed."
Obumseli’s family lawyer Larry Handfield previously criticised claims Clenney acted in self-defence, saying police were influenced by her 'blonde hair and blue eyes'.
Clenney is set to go before court in November.
