Kim Kardashian has passed on a request to provide legal support to Mackenzie Shirilla, who is serving a prison sentence for a 2022 car crash that killed her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and their friend, Davion Flanagan.

During a recorded call from the Cuyahoga County Corrections Center in Ohio, Shirilla said she hoped Kardashian would take on her case, even suggesting she could act as her attorney. The comment surfaced through media coverage of the ongoing story, with TMZ reporting that Kim Kardashian is not expected to get involved in the case.

The outlet claimed her criminal justice reform work is centered on alleged wrongful conviction cases and appeals based on rehabilitation, and that this situation falls outside that scope.

Public interest in the case has resurfaced following Netflix’s release of “The Crash,” a documentary revisiting the fatal incident. The film digs into the story with interviews from folks close to the victims and people from Shirilla’s family, stirring up new talks about her legal situation. She is currently serving two concurrent 15-to-life prison sentences.

Back in 2023, Shirilla got convicted for murder and aggravated vehicular homicide. Prosecutors alleged she deliberately slammed her car into a brick wall during a strained period in her relationship with with her boyfriend, Dominic Russo. When the court handed down her sentence, they didn’t hold back describing how serious her actions were.

The defense claimed she suffered a medical episode related to postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome during the crash.

Since then, the case has remained polarizing, with differing accounts emerging across media reports, family statements, and the documentary’s framing Kim Kardashian has previously used her platform to advocate for individuals she believes were wrongfully convicted or deserving of sentence reconsideration, but has not extended that advocacy to this case. Shirilla remains incarcerated in Ohio and will become eligible for parole in 2037.

For the first time in the tournament’s history, the FIFA World Cup final will have a halftime show. Shakira, Madonna, and BTS are the headliners, FIFA confirmed on Thursday, bringing together Latin pop, American pop, and K-pop headliners.

Adding one now is widely seen as a deliberate step to amplify the event’s impact. The lineup was revealed in a social media video posted by Chris Martin of Coldplay, featuring characters from Sesame Street and the Muppets. Martin, who has been leading the tournament’s entertainment programming, explained his selection choices during an interview with Elmo. “It’s a chance to show how amazing all different kinds of humans are,” he said. The three acts span different continents, fan bases, and musical generations in a combination rarely seen on a single stage.

All three artists enter the announcement with strong recent activity and visibility. Shakira has released a new track titled “Dai Dai,” the official tournament song featuring Afrobeats star Burna Boy, and she previously performed at the 2010 World Cup opening ceremony in South Africa. Madonna is also expected to release new music around the same period, according to industry reports.

BTS reunited as a full group in March for the first time in nearly four years completing mandatory military service obligations.

The show itself will be produced by Global Citizen, the nonprofit behind large-scale concerts tied to causes like hunger and poverty. FIFA and Global Citizen tested the format last summer during the Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium where Doja Cat, Tems and J Balvin performed from a stage built into the stands. The format is being expanded after a test run at the Club World Cup final.

The tournament begins next month across 16 cities in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, with U.S. broadcasts on Fox and Telemundo.
