Who is Genie Exum? OnlyFans model, 22, freed without bail after stabbing boyfriend
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: An Instagram and OnlyFans model was arrested for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend in New York City on October 18, 2021. But it's not the arrest that is causing quite a stir. Genie Exum appeared to show little remorse over the incident, as she was caught smirking in a now-viral Instagram clip, taken at a police station. Reportedly, Exum was released without bail after her arraignment on October 19.
Exum isn't the only model facing legal woes. In August, German TV star Emmy Russ was kicked out of The Dubai Mall in the UAE for wearing a crop top. Luckily, she was let off with a warning. A few weeks prior, Indian porn star Nandita Dutta was arrested in the Indian city of Kolkata for coercing women into nude shoots. Way back in July, Playboy cover girl Flavia Tamayo was jailed for eight years after being caught selling Class-A drugs including cocaine.

Exum's arrest by itself is not a major story. NYC is currently in the midst of a major crime wave, with the overall crime index down from 2020, but up compared to 2019. Instead, what's making the news is Exum's release without bail, after she was caught smirking at the station. Here's everything we know about her, and the shocking incident that led to her arrest.
Who is Genie Exum?
the 22-year-old describes herself as a "magician" on Instagram. She frequently posts very revealing photos of herself on the platform and also appears to have an OnlyFans account under the same name. Exum also has a Twitter account, where she promotes other models. Beyond that, little is known about Exum. One site reported she is a native of Smiths Station, Alabama, but we have not been able to confirm that. What we can say for sure is that Exum does travel extensively, with Instagram photos being tagged not just all over the US, but in other countries like Italy, and the Netherlands.
Exum is currently dating fellow model Francis Amor. It's unclear how long the duo have been together, but Amor frequently shares photos from Exum's apartment. It's unclear what prompted the fight between them on October 18, but it left Amor bleeding and needing hospitalization. According to reports, the fight broke out at an apartment in Hudson Yard. Reportedly, they yelled at each other before Exum picked up a kitchen knife, and jammed it into Amor's back and arm.
He then left the apartment, and a doorman noticed him bleeding, leading him to call 911. Amor was taken to Bellevue Hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. Meanwhile, Exum was arrested and taken to a local police station where she was caught smirking.
'I'm on the trap rn'
The video of Exum smirking appears to have been taken by a friend since her phone was confiscated by the police. She captioned the short video "They took my phone y'all I'm on the trap rn" and uploaded it to her Story. In the video, she can be seen smirking while holding what appears to be a piece of string, with Akon's 'Locked Up' playing over the video. Next to her, an NYPD officer can be seen on the computer.
Exum was seen wearing a Yankees cap, the same one she wore to shield her face after her arraignment at Manhattan Criminal Court. The Daily Mail reported she didn't take any questions from the press and used papers to cover her face. Prosecutors reportedly asked for $10,000 cash bail or $50,000 bond, but the judge ordered her to be released without bail noting she had no past criminal record.
The judge, Michael Gaffey, also issued an order of protection for Amor and barred Exum from contacting him. She's due back in court on December 1.
