Leaked email confirms Mackenzie Shirilla’s dad has been suspended from job after The Crash

The dad of Mackenzie Shirilla has been placed on leave from his job following the release of true crime film The Crash on Netflix. The film tells the story of how his daughter was found guilty of murder after she drove a car into a wall, killing the other two passengers.

Parents Steve and Natalie Shirilla took part in the Netflix doc, and gave interviews about how what happened impacted their family.

In 2022, when Mackenzie Shirilla was 17, she was involved in a car crash that killed her boyfriend and a friend. Mackenzie Shirilla was found guilty of murder in August 2023. She was sentenced to a minimum of 15 years, but told there was a high chance she would spend the rest of her life in prison.

People have called out Mackenzie’s parents for how they came across in the Netflix show. They have said they didn’t show any remorse for what their daughter did, and questioned Steve Shirilla for saying he didn’t mind that his daughter did weed.
