The new Netflix documentary The Crash (2026) is keeping people busy worldwide. The documentary tells the shocking story of Mackenzie Shirilla, the teenager who was convicted after crashing into a wall at high speed, killing her boyfriend and his friend. While the documentary is currently extremely popular and is causing endless discussions online, criticism is also growing. Viewers and media point out striking details that have been omitted. Meanwhile, a leaked telephone conversation about Kim Kardashian is causing a completely new commotion.
Conveniently omitted details?
Although incredibly popular, the documentary has also been criticized. Several striking details from the file would hardly or not be discussed. For example, a recorded conversation from the hospital is missing, in which Shirilla speaks to her mother in coded language and suggests telling the police that she had had an epileptic attack. In addition, it is not mentioned that Shirilla allegedly drove the route of the crash a few days earlier, according to prosecutors, while it was not an obvious route for her. Moreover, on the day of the accident, she was the only one of the three occupants to have worn a seat belt and, perhaps because of this, was the only one to survive the serious accident.

It is also important that the family of the deceased Dominic Russo was initially told that Shirilla was unconscious in the hospital after the accident and therefore could not be contacted. Later it turned out that this was not the case, which makes the Russo family suspect that they were deliberately kept at a distance so that Shirilla had more time to prepare her story. Finally coming in The Crash mainly classmates spoke who supported the teenager, but former friends of Shirilla spoke out in another program and stated that they certainly think that Shirilla deliberately caused the crash.

It is striking that the omitted details in The Crash initially seem to mainly confirm Shirilla’s possible malicious intent. At the same time, a detail that could actually speak to her advantage is also missing. According to court documents, Shirilla allegedly expressed her feelings of guilt to medical staff and to Russo’s brother through telephone messages.
However, one detail is now causing a stir online. In a leaked telephone conversation from prison, Shirilla is said to have spoken about wanting Kardashian to assist her legally. She even said that Kardashian should know that she “only wears SKIMS” and buys all products from the brand. A source from the superstar’s immediate circle quickly spoke out and said that Kardashian would certainly not lend herself to this. The reason for this is that the star is especially committed to people she believes have been wrongly convicted or to prisoners who have clearly shown good behavior and remorse and deserve a fair second chance. According to the source, Shirilla’s case does not fall under this, according to Kardashian.
