“Courtney acted in self-defence,” attorney Frank Prieto has claimed.
Prieto also revealed that he believes Courtney is the victim of “physical, emotional, and mental abuse at the hands of Mr. Obumseli” before suggesting that the possibility she was a “victim of human trafficking” is also in the air, although he failed to further elaborate.

The attorney is adamant that Tailor was fighting for her life during the domestic disturbance. “At the time of the incident, Mr. Obumseli was committing a forcible felony. He had gained access to Courtney’s apartment without permission on several occasions in the days leading up to this incident,” he told the publication.
“Courtney acted in self-defence; the investigation by both the City of Miami Police Department and the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office will conclude such. With that said, we would ask for the public’s understanding about observing the family’s privacy at this time.”
