Mackenzie Shirilla<\/a> wants some legal help from Kim Kardashian<\/a> as she sits in prison for the murder of two young men … but TMZ has learned that ain’t happening.<\/p>\n

Here’s the deal… in a call — obtained by PEOPLE<\/a> and recorded while Mackenzie was held at the Cuyahoga County Corrections Center in Ohio — the convict said she wanted Kim’s help. Mackenzie even said she wanted KK to be her lawyer<\/a>! Uhh … Who wants to tell her?<\/p>\n

A source close to Kim tells TMZ … Kim advocates for criminal justice reform by supporting individuals she believes were wrongfully convicted, as well as people within the prison system who have demonstrated rehabilitation and deserve a fair second chance. This case does not fall within her focus.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As you know … Kim has spent years involved in criminal justice reform efforts and\u00a0advocating<\/a>\u00a0for inmates she believes were wrongfully convicted or deserving of sentence reconsideration.<\/p>\n

Mackenzie was convicted in 2023 of murder, aggravated vehicular homicide, and other charges tied to the 2022 crash that killed her boyfriend,\u00a0Dominic Russo<\/a>, and friend\u00a0Davion Flanagan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the state of Ohio found her guilty … her dad told us what he thinks<\/a> on “TMZ Live.”<\/p>\n

Interest in the case recently exploded again after Netflix released “The Crash” earlier this month … featuring interviews with Mackenzie, her family, and the victims’ loved ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kim Kardashian Not Happening, Mackenzie Shirilla Passes on Legal Help Ask Published May 22, 2026 5:06 PM PDT…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":688771,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134,40834,33584,40835],"class_list":["post-688770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-kim-k","tag-kim-kardashian","tag-kk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=688770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/688770\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/688771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=688770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=688770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=688770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
