One ex-inmate who served time with Mackenzie Shirilla, the subject of a new documentary, The Crash, revealed how the convicted criminal behaved while in prison.
Mary âKatâ Katherine Crowder, who goes by @boujeebehindbars on TikTok, took to the popular social media platform to speak on Shirilla, 21, in the wake of a new Netflix documentary. Shirilla was convicted on a handful of charges, including murder, after she killed her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and friend, Davion Flanagan, when she crashed a car into a wall while driving over 100mph.
Crowder, 27, was an inmate in the Ohio Reformatory for Women alongside Shirilla, whom she described as only caring about âdoing her makeupâ and walking around the yard with her âone or two friends who were also very similar to her â young girls, social media influencer wannabesâ Crowderâs comments come as audiences decried Shirillaâs apology in The Crash.

Crowder continued to describe Shirillaâs unfavorable behavior, saying that she âwalked around prison thinking, âHow is she going to get in with the cool kids?ââ She quipped that Shirilla, who she deemed to be âthriving for fame,â thought that âshe was gonna be the princess of the prison.â She described Shirilla as treating prison like a âhigh school popularity contest.â
Crowder added that Shirilla even changed her style of speaking for her appearance in The Crash, shifting away from her reportedly âraspyâ natural voice.

Crowder exposed Shirilla for lying about having been high on psilocybin when the crash occurred.
âThey showed in this documentaryâŠThere was only THC found [in her blood],â Crowder said.
âSo, now, like, girl, I already knew that you were lying, but now itâs like youâre just making up a huge story with no evidence to even try to back you up,â she said, âSo, you look even more guilty.â
âYou donât care that you took these lives,â Crowder emphasized. She added that she never saw Shirilla cry.
Crowder turned her attention to Shirillaâs âbatsâ crazyâ mother, who was âfunding her prison lifestyle.â
âHer bozo aâ parents fed into this,â she said.
Crowder explained that Shirilla had âeverything you could imagine inside prison and more,â including makeup products and other âlimited itemsâ paid for by her family via CashApp.
âHer family enables her like no other,â Crowder said, âThey see no wrong. Theyâre delusional and Mackenzie has to get it from them.â
Crowder noted that Shirillaâs mother is eager to appear on âsocial media, on a podcast, on a documentaryâŠbecause she could care less about those victims.â
She accused Shirilla of putting on an act for the cameras, and mused that her appeals will continue to be denied.
