More on Courtney’s arrest and Christian’s death
Courtney Tailor called 911 at 5 p.m. on Sunday, according to authorities. In Miami, Florida, the couple resided in a high-end apartment building. Obumseli had been stabbed in the shoulder. He was rushed to the hospital but died as a result of his injuries.
The 25-year-old model threatened to harm herself while being arrested at the police station, prompting her to be “Baker Acted.” This empowers judges and mental health professionals to commit someone to a mental health hospital for 72 hours. They have the authority to do so if the person exhibits aggressive or suicidal inclinations.
It is unknown if the influencer has been released from the mental health facility. Tailor was not charged with anything at the time for her boyfriend’s death.

What happened to Christian Toby Obumseli is a story of white supremacy. A Black man who spent his time dehumanizing Black women, fetishizing white women, centering himself around yt centered circles, ends up getting murdered by his white girlfriend, and police dont charge her.
