A former inmate says Mackenzie Shirilla made jewelry and custom shoes inside jail and directed people to pay via Cash App, while describing the “sugar daddy” websites as jail slang. The claims come as Shirilla pushes back on her portrayal in Netflix’s “The Cra
Mackenzie Shirilla’s time behind bars is now tangled up with accusations that she kept earning money in ways a former inmate describes as “sugar daddy” site-style hustling.
Kat Crowder, who says she spent six months in prison with Shirilla, claims Shirilla used an arts kit to make jewelry and other items—including nose rings, bracelets, and custom shoes. Crowder says Shirilla told other people that if they wanted something, they could pay up through Cash App.
Crowder frames the “sugar daddy” websites as more jail slang than literal internet platforms. She also suggests Shirilla may draw renewed attention if the allegations spread further, even if Crowder doesn’t think Shirilla is still using those sites now that more people have found out.
That jail-time claim lands in the middle of renewed public scrutiny around Shirilla’s case. In 2023. Shirilla was convicted on multiple murder-related charges and sentenced to prison after prosecutors said she drove nearly 100 MPH into a brick wall. killing boyfriend Dominic Russo and friend Davion Flanagan. Shirilla has been pushing back on the public perception in Netflix’s recent “The Crash. ” insisting she’s not a monster.
The picture that emerges is stark: one part of the story revolves around a killing prosecutors said occurred after a high-speed crash. and another centers on how Crowder says Shirilla handled money and requests while incarcerated. Crowder’s account doesn’t change the earlier conviction. but it adds a new layer to how people are trying to explain Shirilla’s behavior—inside the same prison walls where. according to Crowder. Shirilla allegedly kept working deals.
For now. Crowder’s claims are the loudest detail inside the allegation. but they also point to something uncomfortable for anyone watching the case play out publicly: Shirilla is already battling how she’s portrayed in a Netflix project. and now she’s facing fresh accusations tied to the life she reportedly led while in jail.

Wait so Netflix really didn’t know about the Cash App stuff? Crazy.
I mean, if she was making jewelry in jail that’s not even that wild right? But calling it “sugar daddy” like it’s slang?? Sounds like they’re trying to make it more than it is.
How does the “nearly 100 MPH into a brick wall” part connect to Cash App? Like she crashed and then started reselling shoes? I’m confused. Also “sugar daddy sites” doesn’t sound like jail slang to me, it sounds like actual websites.
Not saying she’s innocent or anything but this Kat Crowder chick timing feels weird. Like she’s in the Netflix story and now dropping the “I saw her do jewelry and direct payments” thing… next thing you know it’s all about nose rings and bracelets like that explains murder. Cash App in jail is still wild though, so idk.
