Mackenzie Tried To Get Her Mom To Fib About A Seizure, Plus Some Sneaky Evidence That Raises Eyebrows
So, Netflix forgot to mention this juicy bit: while in the hospital, Mackenzie and her mom seemed to be chatting in secret code (some say pig Latin!) about telling the cops she had a seizure. Classic move, right?
She even asked a detective if they couldn’t just yank her license for 10 years instead of making things harder. Also, her defense was like, 'Maybe she passed out because of a weird heart condition,' but no official proof showed up.
Meanwhile, police found her pulse and brain stuff totally normal after the crash - no signs of a seizure or stroke. Oh, and get this, phone data hinted she’d been nearby the crash site days before, like she was maybe 'checking things out.'
Also, she and her mom even reached out to a modeling agency while she was still in the hospital, which had prosecutors thinking she was angling for sympathy points.
Dominic’s Sister Says Mackenzie’s Mom Pulled A Fast One About Her Hospital Status
Here’s the twist: Dominic Russo’s sister, Christine, says she was told Mackenzie was unconscious in the hospital for days - but now she thinks that story was totally made up.
She kept checking in with Mackenzie’s mom and was told over and over that Mackenzie hadn’t woken up. But there's no proof of that, and Mackenzie even posted hospital pics showing she was awake.
Looks like someone might've been waiting to cook up the perfect story.
Mackenzie Admitted It Was Her Fault... But Then Went To A Concert Like Nothing Happened?
Netflix skipped this rollercoaster: Mackenzie apparently told a doctor straight-up that she felt guilty for killing her boyfriend. She even texted his brother, saying sorry and all that heavy stuff.
But then, a few months later, prosecutors found video of her wheeling into a concert like nothing was wrong. Not super remorseful, huh?
This made her defense look shaky and Netflix didn’t even touch it.
Dominic’s Grave Got Burned Down!? Yep, Seriously.
This one’s sad. Dominic’s sister, Christine, revealed that his gravesite was set on fire nearly a year after he passed. The place was basically destroyed - flowers, ribbons, letters, stuffed toys, all gone.
Only a cement cross survived the blaze. Christine started a fundraiser to fix it up and later shared pics of the new and improved memorial.
She’s even thinking about adding a bench or a memorial at a park where they used to watch Dom play basketball. Sweet and heartbreaking.
Davion’s Family Turned His Dream Into A Scholarship That’s Still Changing Lives
Netflix barely mentioned Davion, but here’s something cool: after he passed, his family set up a scholarship to help kids go to barber school, just like Davion dreamed.
He was a football player battling injuries, planning to switch gears and open a barbershop someday. Now, thanks to his family, that dream lives on.
The fund raised over $82,000 as of 2026, helping future barbers chase their goals. Talk about turning tragedy into something amazing.
