ET has an exclusive sneak peek at the premiere episode, “Too Fast Too Furious,” which chronicles Clenney’s rise to popularity on OnlyFans, the unhealthy parasocial relationships she formed with her fans, and the shocking death of her boyfriend – who led to her being charged with second-degree murder.
“As a creator, you constantly hear that authenticity sells,” Madison explains in the docuseries. “Courtney worked hard to connect with her fans and ensure she was providing great content.”
“That’s the name of this thing,” adds Madison. “But it can also get a little sticky if a fan gets too stuck.”
Clenney was a successful fitness influencer turned OnlyFans artist. She was living in a Miami apartment with her crypto trader boyfriend, Christian Obumseli. One night in 2022, police found him stabbed to death. Clenney, who was arrested days later in Hawaii, claimed self-defense — until a series of disturbing pieces of evidence came to light suggesting there may be more to the story than Clenney said.

“I am honored to continue working with ID to bring these compelling true crime stories to life,” Madison said in a press release. “We’ve had the opportunity to delve into some fascinating worlds and cover so many gripping cases this year that explore the obsession and murder that have tragically affected so many people.”
