Miami prosecutors have dropped computer hacking charges against a bikini model and her parents in the stabbing death of her boyfriend in a luxury high-rise apartment.

Courtney Clenney, a 28-year-old OnlyFans model with an Instagram following of nearly 2 million, has been in custody since August 2022 after allegedly stabbing her boyfriend Christian Obumseli, 27, in the heart.

The slaying was initially considered self-defense, but investigators continued to dig after vocal concerns from Obumseli’s family.

Prosecutors later tacked on computer hacking charges against Clenney and her parents after reviewing communications between her dad and her defense team.

But those charges were dropped after the judge ruled the prosecution’s use of those communications violated attorneny-client privilege. 

Jude Faccidomo, the Clenney family’s defense attorney in the hacking case, said the Miami State Attorney’s Office should recuse itself from the case after reading the materials because it involved private defense strategy with Courtney Clenney’s other lawyers.

A spokesperson for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office said investigators were not aware of an attorney-client relationship between Clenney’s parents and Prieto.

“Judge Laura Cruz found that prosecutors were unaware that attorney Frank Prieto represented Kim and Deborah Clenney since a retainer agreement hiring him was only produced after their arrest,” Ed Griffith, the spokesperson, said in a statement. “Additionally, attorney Prieto never publicly indicated that he represented Kim and Deborah Clenney, only their daughter.”

Police read the texts, saw evidence of a crime and shared it with prosecutors, he said. However, after the judge’s decision, they had to be dropped.

Kim Clenney, 60, and Deborah Clenney, 57, are her father and mother.

The parents are accused of discussing PIN and password options in a group text with four of their daughter’s lawyers — Frank Prieto, Sabrina Puglisi, Manuel Recio and Pamela Corvalan, who allegedly obtained the login details from the jailed murder suspect.

Neither Prieto nor his office responded to requests for comment Friday.

“Will you be sending the laptop PIN ideas so we can try them before you see her again?” Kim Clenney wrote to the group Sept. 26, 2022, according to a warrant for his arrest in Texas.

“Good evening guys. I have a couple that I can forward to you tomorrow,” Prieto replied. Four days later, the father wrote back, “Hell yeah! That PIN worked!”

Prieto previously told Fox News Digital there was “clear evidence of self-defense” and that Obumseli had choked Clenney in the moments before the stabbing.

“Courtney had no choice but to meet force with force,” he said. 

The couple had a fiery relationship, friends told Fox News Digital. Although they claimed Clenney was often the aggressor. Even though she sought a restraining order against Obumseli before his death, videos have emerged of her screaming at him, hitting him and using racial slurs.

The two met during a trip to Tulum, Mexico, and began dating after they returned to the U.S. They relocated from Austin, Texas, to Miami, where Clenney pursued her OnlyFans modeling career and Obumseli traded cryptocurrency and became her manager.

In a February 2022 video recorded during a trip to Aspen, Colorado, and made public this January, Clenney shouted at and repeatedly struck Obumseli in front of someone who recorded the encounter.

She blamed Obumseli for her own drinking, telling him he was “fired” and screaming at him to leave. She also accused him of costing her money and flirting with other women. Less than two months later, she allegedly stabbed him to death.

FLORIDA MAN DEAD, MODEL LOVER FOUND SOAKED IN BLOOD

Lawyers for Obumseli’s family say a long trail of evidence shows Clenney was the manipulative abuser with a history of domestic violence, not him.

Exclusive photos obtained by Fox News Digital show that in a photo shoot from later on the same trip, she had blood on her arm and taped fingers on her right hand.

At another point during the trip, Obumseli showed up with a fresh stitch on his face, according to a mutual friend.

“Christian was a very large guy, and he could’ve easily done damage if he wanted to, but he never fought back,” the friend told Fox News Digital. “He always would just take the abuse from her, and literally the video shows everything.”

Obumseli’s family is suing the building manager of the luxury condo where the couple lived and the security firm that allegedly stood outside the couple’s apartment doing nothing as the stabbing took place, Obumseli family attorney Kimberly Wald told Fox News Digital.

The family also has a pending lawsuit against Clenney.

She is facing a second-degree murder charge for her boyfriend’s death.

Nathan Nearest Green rose from the inhumanity of slavery to lift American spirits around the world. 

Green lived in bondage in the years before the Civil War. He operated a farmhouse distillery for minister slave owner and grocery-store operator Dan Call in Lynchburg, Tennessee. 

It was there that the middle-aged, African-American distiller taught a poor, hardworking and curious pre-teen Scots-Irish boy named Jack Daniel how to make whiskey on a barnyard still in backwoods America. 

FOX NATION’S NEW SERIES ‘MEET THE AMERICAN WHO’ TELLS OF ORDINARY AMERICANS WHO GAVE US EXTRAORDINARY INNOVATIONS

That boy opened Jack Daniel’s Distillery in 1866. He hired Green, newly emancipated a year earlier, as the operation’s first master distiller. 

“We think there was a special bond between Jack and Nearest and Jack and Nearest’s family,” Jack Daniel’s historian Nelson Eddy told Fox News Digital. 

Green’s descendants have worked at the distillery since its inception — they still help produce the whiskey today, more than 150 years later, he said. 

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee sour-mash whiskey is the top-selling whiskey and most globally recognized spirit made in the United States. 

The Jack Daniel’s brand is so deeply and uniquely American it should have its own marching band, fight song and football team. 

“We think there was a special bond between Jack and Nearest.” — Jack Daniel’s historian Nelson Eddy

Yet the signature processes behind Jack Daniel’s, and Tennessee whiskey in general, include techniques, some experts argue, known in western Africa — where conquered tribesman, Green’s ancestors, were sold into slavery to Europeans and shipped around the world.

Yes. Jack Daniel’s, like most everything profoundly American, boasts international influences.

Green’s story has long been known to spirits historians and shared by the Jack Daniel’s Distillery. 

“It’s a story of Black and White working together — you can boil it down to something really that simple and really human,” Charles K. Cowdery, author of the book “Bourbon, Straight: The Uncut and Unfiltered Story of American Whiskey,” told Fox News Digital.

But Green’s influence is gaining wider audience now, thanks in large part to Nearest Green Distillery in Shelbyville, Tennessee, which has earned critical acclaim for its products and praise for its devotion to whiskey history since opening in 2017.

“Nearest Green is definitely the godfather of Tennessee whiskey,” Fawn Weaver, founder of Nearest Green Distillery, said in a 2019 interview with FOX Business.

Whiskey maker Uncle Nearest

Nathan Nearest Green was born around 1820 in Maryland, most likely in Baltimore. Little is known about his early life.

A more complete picture emerges in later years, as Green enjoyed emancipation in the wake of the Civil War.

“His friends and family called him Uncle Nearest,” according to research by Nearest Green Distillery. 

MEET THE AMERICAN WHO FOUGHT AND BLED AT THE ALAMO BUT LIVED TO TELL ITS HEROIC TALE: SLAVE JOE

“’Uncle’ is a term that was used in Lynchburg as an indication of respect, for both Whites and Blacks at the time. Nearest was greatly respected in Lynchburg as a mentor and the best whiskey maker in the area.”

He appears to have enjoyed a full life in freedom. 

The 1880 census lists Green — written down as “Nearis” Green, most likely a misspelling — as 60 years old. It shows him married to Harriet, just 40, and with a full brood of nine children. 

Several of his children worked at Jack Daniel’s Distillery in its earliest days.

He arrived at Dan Call’s Lynchburg farm sometime in the mid-1800s. Among other duties, he was charged with operating the farmhouse distillery. 

“It was a natural job for enslaved labor,” said Cowdery, referencing that period of time in America’s history. “It’s dirty and it’s hard and it’s dangerous.”

Soon, Green would mentor a poor little boy in a relationship that would change the destinies of two families and shape the future of American spirits. 

‘He was a worker, like Nearest’

Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel was born into freedom. But not ease.

The details of his early life are also unknown. He was born in Lynchburg around 1848, the youngest of 10 children.

Daniel’s mother died soon after he was born, no more than a few months later.

He was about 10 years old when he went to work for Minister Call; and he was around 15 when his father, serving in the Confederate army, died of pneumonia in 1863.

Jack Daniel was a teenage orphan. 

“He worked as a chore boy for the preacher ─ milking cows, feeding slop to the pigs, getting water from the springhouse and all the other things farm hands do,” according to NearestGreen.com. 

The allure of the distillery captured his curiosity. He began working with Green, reportedly with the blessing of landowner Call.

“He wasn’t a privileged boy. He was a worker, like Nearest.” — NearestGreen.com. 

The poor White orphan boy and the enslaved middle-aged Black distiller proved a dynamic duo, by all accounts.

“He wasn’t a privileged boy. He was a worker, like Nearest,” reports NearestGreen.com. 

Green gave Daniel a master class on the intricacies of a spirit made only in America: sour-mash, charred-oak barrel-aged, charcoal-filtered corn whiskey.

Tennessee whiskey, in other words.

The processes that make it so smooth were all known by the 19th century and in many cases improved and perfected by enslaved distillers. 

Corn-based, sour-mash whiskey, aged on charred oak barrels, is common in most American whiskeys.

Tennessee whiskey is unique largely by one process: charcoal filtering. The distilled liquor is filtered through sugar-maple charcoal before it’s aged.

“It’s believed by many whiskey and food historians to have been brought in by slaves, who were already using charcoal to filter their water and purify their foods in West Africa,” reports NearestGreen.com.

Both Cowdery, the whiskey author, and Eddy, the company historian, dispute the African origins. 

Regardless, Tennessee whiskey requires intricate science and craftsmanship on a level remarkable in the 1800s for what was essentially backwoods moonshining. 

“I would consider Nearest a mentor for Jack … He was heavily influenced by Nearest in many ways.” — Nelson Eddy

Jack Daniel, the spirit namesake, appears to have learned it all from Nearest Green, according to distillery historian Eddy. 

The two men developed a relationship deeper than just co-workers.

“I would consider Nearest a mentor for Jack,” said Eddy. “I will tell you this, there was something more going on here. He was heavily influenced by Nearest in many ways.”

Green, known to play fiddle, reportedly fueled Daniel’s lifelong passion for music.

‘Bigger than whiskey’

Nathan Nearest Green died around 1890. His final resting place is unknown. No known picture of him exists. 

But his impact is still felt around the world.

Jack Daniel’s charcoal-mellowed sour-mash Tennessee whiskey is a prized symbol of excellence in American spirit-craft around the world. 

Green’s impact is most notably felt in Lynchburg. His family went on to become one of the biggest landowners in the region, according to Eddy. 

“There has never been drop of Jack Daniel’s made without a member of the Green family working somewhere in the company.” — Charles K. Cowdery

Two of his descendants, Jerome Vance and Jackie Hardin, still work at the distillery today. 

Another, Debbie Staples, recently retired.

“There has never been a drop of Jack Daniel’s made without a member of the Green family working somewhere in the company,” said whiskey historian Cowdery.

Jack Daniel’s today is owned by international wine and spirits conglomerate Brown-Forman. It manages a vast complex of global trade, distribution and marketing logistics.

“It really is a huge company,” said Cowdery. “But at the distillery in Lynchburg, it really is local people working there for years. It has a very familial feel.”

“This story is bigger than whiskey,” said Eddy. 

“It’s the story of the relationship between two men, the distillery and two families.”

Morgan Wallen has postponed three shows just hours before he was supposed to hit the stage Friday at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. 

On Friday, the country star — who is currently on his “One Night At A Time” tour — took to social media to announce the cancelation of his July 12 concert in Tampa, as well as his July 18 and 19 shows in Charlotte, North Carolina, due to an illness. 

“I hate to reschedule shows but I powered through being sick in Tampa [Thursday] night, and unfortunately woke up feeling way worse today [Friday],” he posted on X. 

Wallen admitted, “I would not give you guys anywhere near 100%” if he were to try to continue with his concerts, which will now take place on future dates. He informed fans, “As a result [of this news], I need to move [Friday’s] Tampa show to Oct. 4 and next week’s Charlotte shows to Oct. 18 and 19.”

A rep for Wallen did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

MORGAN WALLEN CANCELS CONCERT AFTER OPENING ACT, FANS FURIOUS

Not too long after his announcement, Jelly Roll — who was expected to take the stage ahead of Wallen — told fans he was “working hard” to figure out a solution. 

“Dear Tampa – I am working hard to put together something for y’all somewhere tonight – stay tuned,” he wrote on X. 

Later, he posted: “TAMPA! Dallas Bull tonight — doors open at 7pm. If you have a ticket to the show you get in for free. (This is for ticket holders only) FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.”

This isn’t the first time Wallen has called off a performance at the last minute. 

Last year, the country singer was forced to cancel his show at the Ole Miss stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, after losing his voice.

The sudden cancelation concluded what was supposed to be two consecutive nights of performances. 

Wallen shared the news on his Instagram story at the time.

“After last night’s show I started losing my voice so I spent the day resting up, talking to my doctor and working through my vocal exercises trying to get better,” he explained. “I really thought I’d be able to take the stage and it kills me to deliver this so close to showtime, but my voice is shot and I am unable to sing.”

Fans would be refunded, according to the country music star.

Wallen added, “I am so sorry, I promise you guys I tried everything I could.”

The cancelation happened after the opening acts had performed, leaving some fans angry.

WTVA-TV reported that video boards inside the Ole Miss football stadium showed a message saying the “Thought You Should Know” singer had lost his voice and was unable to perform, adding that people would be refunded their money where they bought the tickets.

“Completely disappointed in @MorganWallen!! Been sitting in this stadium for 3 hrs and he just announced the show is canceled!!!” one user wrote on Twitter. “COMPLETE BULLS—!!!”

“Cool but what about the dog sitter, baby sitter, hotel, PTO, and gas money we took for this?” another user wrote. “You knew this morning @morganwallen.”

Another fan recalled the time Luke Combs lost his voice.

“Luke Combs lost his voice still played the show and gave people their money back, just sayin’” the Twitter user wrote.
