From “I’m Going to Self-Exit” To “I Hope You Die in a Fucking Accident”: Mackenzie's Manipulation
87m 19s
The second half of Mackenzie Shirilla and Dom Russo’s text messages chronicles a deeply toxic and emotionally volatile relationship that intensifies through 2021 and into 2022. Mackenzie demonstrates a severe lack of emotional regulation, frequently demanding immediate attention, making irrational threats (like stabbing friends or calling the police), and using manipulative tactics such as gaslighting, emotional blackmail, and threats of abandonment. She consistently fails to recognize her own emotional instability, often blaming Dom for her distress while refusing to accept responsibility for her own behavior. Dom, on the other hand, shows increasing emotional awareness and attempts to establish healthy boundaries, offering care and support while being repeatedly overwhelmed by Mackenzie’s outbursts. The dynamic is marked by a cycle of conflict, with Mackenzie threatening to break up, accuse Dom of infidelity or abuse, and demand constant validation, while Dom expresses growing distress over financial strain, mental health, and emotional neglect. A key turning point occurs when Dom begins openly questioning Mackenzie’s narcissism, citing behaviors like lack of empathy, self-aggrandizing statements, and manipulative control—traits commonly associated with narcissistic abuse. Despite Dom’s efforts to foster a healthier relationship, Mackenzie remains entrenched in a pattern of emotional volatility and self-centeredness, ultimately undermining any possibility of mutual growth. The texts reveal a relationship where emotional manipulation, control, and mutual exhaustion prevail, raising serious concerns about the long-term impact on both individuals, especially given the timeline that precedes Dom’s tragic death.
this is the second half of mackenzie shirilla and dom russo's text messages
if you haven't listened to the first half i highly advise you to do so first we went through
half of the 30 000 page document detailing their relationship and how it progresses
throughout the year of 2020 we've just now reached 2021
like beginning of 2021 and things are going to start ramping up so with that
mackenzie finally does learn how to correctly spell prosciutto that was a journey that we
really didn't want to be on but alas she made it she learns how to spell it and side note this is
the same person that spells drug addicts like drug addicts like the addict that you have in your
house
you
you
you
you
dom reminds mackenzie to not smoke before school every day which i think is valuable advice that
she probably does not take she agrees for the time being but she says i'm still gonna smoke
after school though mackenzie rants about having a normal job like a normal person she says that
her mom wants her to have a job so natalie is like you gotta get a job and she's like quote
i'm telling her i don't feel good and i don't want to work and she's saying i need a job
like i just want to quit i for real have not wanted to go to work one single day
i feel like a lot of people it's like pretty par for the course for work
i don't know how many people are foaming at the mouth ready to clock in for work
she rants i cannot wait till you move into your new house because i hate this house so much this
house is full of psychopaths my mom just tried to ground me because i hung up on her to go to
the bathroom like what the actual fuck this is actually a fight that her and dom get into all
the time like she gets so mad if he ever hangs up on her but she's allowed to do that to her mom
mackenzie shirilla has never been introduced to self-awareness ever and like immediately after
that whole conversation where she's like i can't do this i can't do this i can't do this i can't do
this i can't believe she grounded me because i hung up to go to the bathroom dom explains that
he's shitting water like he's diarrhea-ing and she accuses him of just using that as an excuse
to not hang out valentine's day of 2021 there's a lot of fights it's like multi-days of fighting
a marathon if you will because dom doesn't want to post mackenzie on instagram i mean he does
but then he deletes it a few minutes later which i will say kind of weird right but they do bicker
for a few days mackenzie threatens dom your effort level is zero up that
number before it's too late and he's like what's gonna happen when it's too late babe
you're dumb if you don't know and just rapid fire a few things that happen in the following weeks
mackenzie goes to a party where she freaks out on dom because he's not responding enough
which ultimately it seems like she freaked out on him because she didn't know anyone at the party
and it was just awkward but like i don't know why she freaked out on him she could have just
pretended to be doing other things on her phone right it's very interesting i know she's young
but i recall most people her age having far greater emotional regulation than what mackenzie is showing
eventually dom tells her to go to her car breathe and sing a song she really likes
he also encourages her to gain weight so that she can get her period back and march of 2021 they
enter their chess era just non-stop playing chess on the mobile phone together then mackenzie
expresses how she hates her life and can't wait to be an adult so she can do whatever she wants
which clearly didn't really turn out so great for her freedom in prison don't really go hand in hand
but dom tells her as an adult you have to worry about making money aka bread so you can't just do
whatever you want she says yeah i'll just do whatever i want and then dom tells her to go to
be a stripper and do hair trust me i'll have money they start fighting again and mackenzie tells dom
don't fuck with a pretty bitch if you're not ready for high maintenance a little while later dom tells
her he's learning how to cook french cuisine for her but mackenzie complains about the new dress
code at school because no crop tops are allowed and then mackenzie ends up going to a gathering
with friends two hours away but wants dom to come pick her up so she's two hours away wants him to
pick her up he doesn't she throws a fit saying i love knowing there's a distance you won't go for
you don't gotta make it like that she also mentions that she can't be home because her mom
ordered the wrong thing from a clothing brand so she's pissed and can't be home she complains a lot
about how home life is so miserable it appears you know this is what sets her off about being home
this is the wrong shirt she also can't spell since oh my gosh this bothers me so much this is like
yes since so she tries to say i've been angry since this weekend right s-i-n-c-e but she spells
it the first time okay she says
i've been angry s-e-n-t like a message sent sent this weekend okay but then she quickly realizes
i'm a bozo that's wrong i gotta fix it okay she resends the message no i've been angry since s-e-n-s-e
like i have a sixth sense since this weekend s-i-n-c-e never stood a chance ironically right
after that she complains and now i'm having cramps and i just really don't feel good like i don't i
just go to school and sit there like my english teacher is fat and gross
do you think i want to learn from her if she can't even explain things right i have to take a biology
test other than that i have two maths and i'm going to pay someone to do them then she says
then not that the amount of spelling errors like i couldn't even you don't have auto correct no i
don't think so yeah they should i do not do math honestly i just don't do school whoever invented
schools a piece of shit a piece of shit who probably knew the difference between since
sent and sense but sure a piece of shit okay he tries to comfort her and tells her that she's
not sure that people need some form of education for a little while it seems like things are getting
better they're going to spend easter together dom is running late because quote babe i'm sorry my mom
had me find my easter basket which just feels like very young teenage love moments dom offers to buy
chairs and stuff for his house outside so mackenzie can tan in the summer which she very much likes to
do he says which apparently she's been doing in prison she'll like tan in the yard with oil he
says he started spraying home defense around his house so the bees will go away and he's going to
mention he can try to make some food for her so like do you see the progression in 2020 he's very
like whatever let's take a break let's take a break i want space in 2021 he is like what do you
need what do you need i'll do it whatever you need he mentions he can but we don't really know
what happened it's just like a progression it's a progression and if i really had to speculate
um we were talking about this while we were reading through the messages um because we
thought it was interesting it does feel like there is some level of isolation that happens and like
he does seem like he's mentally in a very low spot and it could be that she has made him whether
it was intentional or not very dependent on her love and affection as which is something that is
commonly done like just a lot of isolation in the beginning of like why are you hanging out with
your friends don't hang out with your friends only spend time with me he doesn't really hang
out with a lot of people anymore no she gets mad when he spends mother's day with his mom
like she yeah it's like what could she say about that just like well i'm not spending mother's
day with my mom so he tries to make food for her and you know she was complaining about the steak
that she had at home was gross and you know too fatty and her parents cooked it wrong and the
sauce was wrong and dom starts asking mackenzie to facetime which usually it's the other way around
he's texting her i'm so in love with you babe mackenzie responds i love you to death babe i'm
so excited for summer so i can be with you every day i fucking hate school you always make me so
happy babe i love you kenzie but then they start bickering again because dom doesn't answer while
he's showering and mackenzie says she thought he got kidnapped
then dom has a moment where he's in his feels about his life and he tells her like i'm honestly
jealous you get everything when i was a kid i would just sit in my room and cry alone
he talks about his childhood and of course mackenzie who cannot imagine that people
outside of her own being have complicated lives and feelings and past she says babe why are you
doing this to me talking about his childhood yeah like i'm at school like do you want me to just go
cry in the bathroom dom says because like i deal with everything with you and it just makes me feel
so shitty
like every problem you got everything i'm there for you and it's just stressful i never had no one
there for me i'm sorry babe i don't trust anyone but you i'll just keep everything to myself then
i'm already crying now please leave me alone so i can just go back into my classroom no you can't
you won't keep everything to yourself and secondly what an odd thing to say dom opens up more about
his childhood trauma and the ever caring i mean giant hearted mackenzie shavilla responds i know
babe i'm sorry and obviously i feel bad for you like i'm begging you to stop and you just keep
going you told me you wouldn't give me any anxiety at polaris and all you've been doing this whole
time is giving me anxiety i'm sorry it's just i have problems too dom brings up you're never nice
to me lately babe which mackenzie responds babe i've been depressed as fuck for weeks in my house
fucking sucks anytime i go anywhere near my mom she starts an argument with me how do you fucking
expect me to feel okay well you're saying how do you expect you to feel with your mom how do you
expect me to feel with you you're just passing the torch of stress what are you trying to get out of
this conversation how many times i have to tell you i'm struggling like are you trying to make me cry
like what are you trying to make me cry like what are you trying to make me cry i'm struggling
to do what is your point of this conversation i've asked like eight times to not give me anxiety and
clearly you're not understanding she says if she would have known that he was gonna do all of this
she would have just stayed home to which he says i didn't know i was gonna text you either well
babe you promised you wouldn't give me anxiety and i've already been in my third panic attack like
i've already cried twice since being here and you could have just texted me nicely and not in a way
that would make me panic eventually mackenzie tells dom babe i'm trying to make friends so
you're not the only person i talk to he reminds her i'm your boyfriend not both of your parents
combined which i mean maybe her parents need to be more involved in her life because she texts dom
wondering whether or not because you know mackenzie is asking whether or not she should smoke before
her driver's license test gaslighting also becomes a new term that's heavily adopted in 2021 that
mackenzie just starts throwing out she's flipping it around swinging it around she kisses dom of
gaslighting her he says describe gaslighting to me look it up g he's like how am i doing that i
think you do that to me and so she like sends a little snippet of what gaslighting
is it's like a
type of emotional abuse where the bully or abuser makes their target question their judgments in
reality ultimately the victim of gaslighting starts to wonder if they're going crazy and she's
like yeah you def do that to me and then dom accuses her of being a narcissist this is gonna
come back up again there's gonna be a whole discussion on narcissism and it's gonna get
really crazy okay but for the time being mackenzie very quickly changes the topic it's very interesting
that she's like you know what i'm over this topic and she says thanks for arguing with me all day
over nothing are you gonna keep punishing me or can i get some bud and dabs mackenzie gets upset
that dom hung up on her in the middle of a phone call but he tells her that he only did that because
she was yelling at him and he's not going to respond when she's yelling at him she does not
think that that is an appropriate response from him mackenzie also rants about her family frequently
telling him nobody in this house knows how to go take a shit in the bathroom that nobody uses
and people just close the door and let the smell soak in and don't even let it air out
ew do y'all got a fan and that is my
fault
somehow like i'm sorry i'm never the one who stank like it's disgusting they do continue to get into
their never-ending carousel of fights over the same things mackenzie starts getting more controlling
demanding things like if i can't come tonight the party is not happening they go out to hang out and
mackenzie texts dom watch the fat asian she like really hates asians and they really hate black
people yeah like they're just like racist okay but like she's like fucking hates asians like it's
just repeated too okay watch
the fat asian he says i am she's gonna steal something or try to fight someone you know we
will retaliate she ain't doing nothing right now who is she talking about some like fat asian that's
out and about like where i don't know god forbid we live our lives okay oh just like a passerby
yeah she's like she's gonna steal something or try to fight someone and we're gonna retaliate
and he's like she ain't doing nothing right now he's like when you're gonna be back i'm trying to
piss in another fight she says and if a bitch talked to you one more time i will literally
slice her throat so there's that there's also a few hundred more pages of mackenzie being one of
the least emotionally regulated humans to join mankind and then mackenzie gets fired from her
job at a smoothie shop and sends dom the reason for her firing which is like a corporate email
and a customer left a corporate email that says hi i just want to start out this message stating
that i visit um often mostly the medina store great experience there i was in strongsville
doing some shopping so i stopped in to pulp to get a smoothie the girl making my smoothie had
very long fingernails not a works at a smoothie shop right called pop yeah pulp and so she's
like the girl making my smoothie had really long fingernails not okay to have in good service and
literally her butt was showing from her shorts she kept pulling at her shorts because they were
so short while making my smoothie i couldn't even drink it thinking of all the things that were you
know on her hands and under her long fake fingernails i'm not one to complain but there
were a lot of things i wanted to do and there were a lot of things i wanted to do and there were a lot of
things i wanted to do and there were a lot of things i wanted to do and there were a lot of things i
wanted to do and there were a lot of things i wanted to do and there were a lot of things i wanted to do
and i've told many family and friends to stay away from the unsanitary conditions
then mackenzie complains that dom's mom clearly doesn't like mackenzie because mackenzie wasn't
invited to dom's family vacation mackenzie accuses the whole situation of being so quote
fucking disrespectful she just like lets words come out of her mouth like not everything that
makes you feel something is an attack or disrespectful or whatever the hell it is but
you want to slap on it like it's so weird it's a family vacation you're not family
near the end of 2021 dom is doing even more to accommodate mackenzie than ever before he's
showing a lot of concern for mackenzie he says like i'm worried about you i love you i don't
want hannah bothering us mackenzie's like always worried about this girl named hannah okay i don't
know hannah lives rent for you and mackenzie's thoughts she's always like the one that dom
previously not her friend but dom did have interactions with hannah before yes but is
that in the picture or no no okay so she's just bringing up very old all the time anytime they
get into a fight she's like why don't you go fuck hannah then i want you to eat like you're gonna
make me cry babe i want you to be okay like you just have to start pounding food five times a day
like it's your job i'll pay you twenty dollars for every full meal you eat in a month you'll
have a louis bag he offers to take her to a good waffle spot or he can come over and make her
breakfast in bed mackenzie repays his kindness with threats when he doesn't text her back within
40 minutes she texts did you just leave because if you did like literally never come back mackenzie
gets upset when he doesn't drive her to school which side note the year before dom and davion
are killed dom and mackenzie are planning out their halloween costumes like remember how mackenzie
and her mom were like oh she only dressed up as playboy cardi because dom loves playboy cardi
meanwhile the year before dom offered mackenzie to be a disney princess and he wanted to be shrek
so it's just like the juxtap like he just seemed like that was such a young costume and then
the year before dom and mackenzie started talking about her family saying like everyone in the
house unreliable af and lazy and disgusting slobs shit's tough but at least they love you babe
that's where i get my shitty driving from too bad for them because i don't fuck with them like she's
ass mackenzie i don't know if she's referring to her mom it seems like she's referring to her mom
but everyone's an ass in mackenzie's book she continues to demand dom drop everything to help
her at the smallest inconvenience she says when you fucking send me text messages like that it
literally makes me want to dump your pathetic ass right now because he's like no i can't do
something like that he's like no i can't do something like that he's like no i can't do
something for you she threatens to stab his friends since they take up too much of his time
apparently she loves to call dom dumb which is really rich coming from someone who doesn't know
the difference between since sent and since it's not even excusable it's not even like there there
there okay and 2021 marks the era where mackenzie is the one threatening to break up with dom all
the time and near the end of 2021 a year before dom's death dom seems like slightly more open to
it so most of 2021 he's like fighting back of like
okay like i'll apologize but like you're being crazy like you're you're just not being nice and
then near the end he starts responding to her threat simply with i'm not afraid of any of that
you can't treat me like shit then threaten to break up with me i'm cool on all that it's actually
really toxic mackenzie responds and i actually really don't care so get your priorities straight
or break will happen because i'm not scared either fair enough i know you didn't just say
that so i'm gonna give you a fucking chance to fix that reply she doesn't ever actually want
to break up with him
instead she wants to go to his house with the bat and mess up whoever is there
there is nobody there to which she responds oh so then i'll just be whooping your ass
she threatens him with a break which he agrees might not be a bad idea so they can both cool
off and not fight as often and she says you have five seconds to answer the door i'm breaking a
window she starts her infamous countdowns five four three two one so that's her is that like
the first time yeah one of the first first times
and then just every day every day non-stop she says that she threw five guys like the
food the burger joint out the window into his flower beds just like threw trash in his she's
like doing she's going crazy yeah she's not just verbal and texting she states that her sister is
a fucking weirdo she says quote like she doesn't know when it's okay to talk she's literally
autistic hopefully she gets tested soon don's sister no mackenzie's own sister oh
mackenzie's calling her own sister yeah dom is confused and says for what autism yeah like she
just be interrupting like shut your slow ass up like i thought she would grow out of it by now
freshman years when i stopped being fucking weird she complains that now she's stuck in a car with
three idiots and her grandma i'm not really sure who the three idiots are but i feel like she's
got to be included in that count right remember how i said her favorite outfit to wear to school
is pulling up her undie strings on the side so it looks like she has a massive wedgie walking around
yeah well she needs to find her green undies to do that so she's like i'm not gonna do that
with and she starts freaking out when she can't find her green undies and dom is just going to be
the target of her frustrations dom asks if she wants chick-fil-a nuggets mid-fight okay and
fries which she gets really upset about because she's like it's so not cool you didn't ask me if
i wanted food and he's confused he's like i just asked you like do you want nuggets and fries like
it's right here like come eat it and they bicker a little before she comes to eat the nuggets and
fries but she's just upset because he didn't ask her so that she could choose what she wanted at
chick-fil-a this is also the same girl that shames everyone for eating mcdonald's
mackenzie has zero ability to think about anyone else but herself if she doesn't eat mcdonald's and
what does she say yeah she like thinks mcdonald's is gross and she tells her parents mcdonald's
isn't even real food and then remember her friend famously said in the netflix documentary like she
would never hurt herself she wouldn't even eat a mcchicken and i we all wanted to just go back to
bed after that like what mackenzie has zero ability to think about anyone else but herself
if she's tired dom has to understand if he's tired
and he can't do what she wants
she gets mad like irrationally angry also after pouring through thousands and thousands of pages
it is frustrating that she is just always talking in such a condescending tone i'll give you a chance
to fix that and it's just like dom setting boundaries she wants to throw a party in dom's
basement but she wants him to clean it up and she refuses to help she just wants it done she says
oh my fucking god if we don't have this party on friday i'm seriously going to freak the fuck out
of you now then she freaks out on him saying i don't know why the fuck i have to tell you to stop
replying to me r-worded that sentence doesn't even make sense okay she just like really wants to use
these slurs like it's making me want to fucking end the relationship you better fix the reply
like we're going to just keep going in a fucking circle until you learn she starts her countdown
of doom five four three two one near the end of 2021 mackenzie tells dom that she needs to call
cps on her family like dead ass i'm so done this family needs fucking help like no wonder i'm
addicted to weed anytime i try to stop they come near me he tries to comfort her she snaps at him
literally just don't hit me up you unhelpful
Two, AF.
Then Mackenzie asks Dom for his taser.
She clearly wants to use it on someone
and not just for safekeeping
in case something happens in a parking lot,
to which he's like, whoa, let's what?
He doesn't want her to get in trouble,
but she says, okay, pussy AF.
I'm just trying to help.
Can't imagine being scared of a fat bitch.
Cause I guess she wanted to tase someone
who she categorizes as a fat bitch.
She's also just kind of absurd.
She wants Dom to get another girl's number
so that he can text that girl to leave him alone.
Then they get into another fight
where she basically tells him to make up his mind
about breaking up or not.
And she can't go to school until he decides.
He says, he's not breaking up with her.
She says, she's probably not going to go to school anyway.
Then they talk about going to a Playboy Cardi concert,
which Mackenzie says, well, Travis Scott was in Houston,
but I'm scared.
I don't know what she's scared about, okay?
Dom responds, well, that's a whole different rapper.
She says, I feel like Playboy Cardi is more demonic
than Travis Scott, which why did you dress up
as Playboy Cardi then for Halloween?
He says, I mean,
I wouldn't be surprised if Cardi was on some Satan shit too.
Demonic.
No, he definitely is.
Like we can go.
I'm just scared.
They end up buying tickets.
Dom doesn't text back for 11 minutes
and Mackenzie starts a fight.
Do you have five minutes to answer?
We have issues.
He responds and states that he was in the shower
and then she threatens to break up with him
because his responses are dry.
And there is like a, there's a whole argument,
multiple pages long,
where she wants him to respond while he's in the shower too.
Like she doesn't get why he can't just like respond
while he's in the shower.
Anyway, she also proudly tells Dom,
that she followed another driver home
to quote, scare them.
Mackenzie starts screenshotting girls Instagram.
That's crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
That's freaking crazy.
Yeah.
And she thought it was funny.
So like she's already doing things in the car
to scare people,
which I think is kind of weird.
And like, maybe I'm just drawing weird connections,
but it's weird.
Mackenzie starts screenshotting girls Instagram accounts
and sending it to Dom,
telling him to unfollow them.
She says, don't be a fucking creep.
If you want to have girls, then be single,
but you're in a three-year relationship.
So figure it the fuck out.
I can literally see when you started following bitches.
It's like, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's weird as fuck.
Dom fights back.
You got it wrong.
Look, if I don't know them, I'll unfollow them.
But if I went to school with them my whole life,
I'm not unfollowing them.
Cool.
The fact that you're trying to still follow them is sus,
but she spells sus, sauces.
So I don't know if they have autocorrect or not.
I'm so confused.
She says, fuck, like that's how I know
I still shouldn't trust you.
She says, if you do not fucking start agreeing with me,
there's going to be a fucking problem.
Not sure why you're not understanding this.
And this is why I go through your fucking phone
and go through your followers
because you're untrustworthy ass.
Fuck.
She says, on, O-N, trustworthy.
Then the whole, remember the chocolate croissant debacle?
Remember she like told her dad to go to Starbucks
and get a chocolate croissant.
And then he's like, I'm running errands.
I'll get it later.
And then he's like, why the fuck would you?
And then she's like, I swear to God,
if there's not a chocolate croissant
because they sold out, I'm going to flip out.
Like she's going off on her dad.
There are multiple chocolate croissant fights
with Dom as well.
Mackenzie asked Dom for a croissant.
He says it'll take him 50 minutes.
Like he tells her in advance, like I'm out.
I'm running errands.
It's going to take me 50 minutes.
She's annoyed.
And she says, then my dad will probably be back by then.
She also calls her dad the arse-ler
for not coming back with her chocolate croissant.
She's freaking out on Dom.
And he tells her, you have anger issues, babe.
Mackenzie proves his point by saying,
like, please fix your energy.
Like, what is wrong with you?
Like, you really going to need to start understanding
that there's only one fucking side and it's mine.
And there's nothing else you need to understand.
She keeps snapping at him.
And he's telling her, like,
just explaining what's going on, right?
And then all of a sudden she switches the conversation.
And she's like, I'm going to make a beauty room
when I move in with you.
So she's like, when I move into your house, Dom,
I'm making a beauty room.
And she's like, trying to like,
even I was trying to understand her shitty ass descriptions.
Like, she's like, I'm going to put this here, this there.
And it's like, I don't know where anything is.
She's not very great at communicating
or even dictating her thoughts in a way
that makes you understand.
So he's like, oh, okay.
So put your vanity in the closet.
She's like, are you okay?
He's like, so hostile.
You have anger issues, babe.
Do you want to just,
break up or something?
Like, if you're not going to be there for me
when I'm angry, I'm not okay.
And you're just going to talk to me like,
I don't want this.
You can either be there for me 100% of the time
or you can break up with me right now
because I'm not doing this.
This fight is genuinely so insane.
I can't even describe what just happened.
Then a couple hours later,
she's asking him for Starbucks and he's like, what?
And he's like, you were just so mean.
Like, now you want me to go get you a Starbucks?
That's the type of reply I'm talking about.
Don't fucking text me.
Like, it's literally just me against the world, I guess.
Kenzie, you have anger problems.
Understand that, please.
I know, I don't care.
You can make it better within a year
with simple methods, I swear.
Like, why would you want to fight with me
and your family the whole, like, all the time?
I don't like any of them
and I'm really starting to get annoyed with you too.
Christmas Eve of 2021,
Mackenzie goes on to catch an attitude.
I mean, she's already caught it.
It's like a lifelong disease.
She'll honestly catch an attitude
if the wind changes direction, like, holy cow.
Mackenzie asked Dom to make edibles
to give to her dad for Christmas.
That's wild.
She says, can you make the edibles for him
or just give him some?
Because I'm not trying to do that.
I for real can't.
So you want me to just do everything
and say it's from you?
Yes, both me and you, question mark, question mark.
Okay, Dom, then I'ma just not get him anything.
You literally said you were already going to do that
so I don't know why it's so hard for you
to just write my name on it, question mark, question mark,
dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
And she just, like, sends a full paragraph of periods.
Shaking my fucking head.
They get into another fight
and Dom tells Mackenzie,
you have some soul-searching to do, babe.
Reflect on how you treat people who love you the most.
Then she asks him to pick up food for her
and bring it to her.
Which he says, I'm, like, running errands.
I'm not even in the area.
So I will door dash it to you.
I'll pay.
And, like, a door dasher will deliver it to your house.
It's quicker that way.
She didn't like it.
She says, fix your fucking priorities
before you try to talk to me again.
I'm a motherfucking goddess
and I don't deserve to be treated like this.
You treat me like a motherfucking princess I am.
Like, I don't even care.
Why is she mad?
Because on door dash, you can't add extra lettuce
on the Chipotle bowl.
So she wants him to go get it?
Yeah, but he's like, okay, but I'm explaining to you
it's going to be delicious.
It's going to be quicker if I door dash it.
But she's like, no, I need it to be quicker
and I need you to get it.
Like, it's a whole thing.
The start of 2021, I noticed that Mackenzie
stops using Beb, Beb anymore.
No pet names, just angry text messages.
And honestly, if Mackenzie does use Beb,
it seems more like a nagging tone and context.
So at this point, what percentage of the messages
are fighting now, would you say?
Like 90.
And it's just, like, always Mackenzie.
And, like, reading her messages,
we were just. Feeling so suffocated.
Like, it was making me stressed out.
And I'm just reading.
I have, you know, these are not to me.
I'm not personally involved.
I'm just reading.
And she starts sending more things
that she wants Dom to buy.
And she's really rude about everything.
She'll send him $500 pair of Jordans
that she says she thinks she needs.
You know, and she still doesn't know
how to spell since.
She says, since it's like this,
but it's S-E-N-S-E.
Dom purchases a taser for Mackenzie
and she says,
I'm exited.
She means excited.
Spells it exited.
I'm exited.
I'ma tase you.
Nah, you're not gonna tase me.
Aw, I am.
Sometimes Dom will just wake up
to text messages that read,
I want to go to Beachwood Mall today.
Literally wake up.
What the fuck?
Are you still sleeping?
Like, is this a joke?
Like, I'm mad.
What the fuck?
Question mark, question mark,
dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
I'm exited.
There's still a lot of fights
revolving around cheating.
Mackenzie asked Dom about a rumor.
She says,
she's telling Kendra you try to fuck her.
You fucking with fat bitches?
I'm gonna need to see the messages
between y'all for real.
I'm sus right now.
Brett, Kenzie,
I would never fuck that bitch.
Chill, she's texting me that now.
The text better still be on your phone
when I'm there.
She starts freaking out on him
and he says she's being insecure,
to which she responds,
I'm not insecure, LMAO.
They're fighting nearly every single day,
cussing each other out every single day,
about to break up.
Every single day,
just reading the messages
feels so exhausting.
I can't imagine being part
of this emotional volatility
and turmoil that is this relationship.
Dom continues to try
and break up with Mackenzie.
So like 2021,
he stops trying to break up with her
and he's like really struggling
with his mental health.
2022, he's kind of like,
hey, I'm trying to get
my shit together actually
and I don't think you're helping my life.
He tries to break up with her
and states that she's not really
a nice person to him at all.
So he doesn't really see the point,
like they're not making
each other better people
and he just doesn't,
he doesn't really like this.
He says, quote,
like it doesn't even feel
like you care about me anymore.
It just feels like you want me
to do shit for you.
Mackenzie refuses to break up with Dom,
but threatens to break up with him
and her insults start escalating.
She's constantly calling him slow,
threatening him, quote,
I'd watch your mouth
or you will be single
and I'm dead ass serious
like this is your last chance.
Dom's mother is hospitalized
and Dom tells Mackenzie
she has holes in her intestines.
Babe, I'm going to freak out
if something happens to my mom.
I don't think I can live.
He expresses extreme distress saying,
I think she'll be okay,
but she hasn't been able to work
and if she can't work,
she's fucked because
she has to support everyone.
I'm really worried.
Mackenzie cares for all of about 0.2 seconds
and then she starts whining
about other things.
So Dom is trying to tell her
that he's under a lot of pressure
because he needs to help with the bill
since his mom needs time to recover
and he's upset that Mackenzie
is being so insensitive.
He says, Mackenzie,
you called me on the phone
trying to get me
to go to Florida this weekend.
My mom is in the hospital right now
and I don't even know what's going on.
Last thing I want to do
is blow all my money in Florida.
My mom is going to need help.
She's not going to be able to work
and then you won't let me get off the phone
when I'm trying to load my cart at Walmart.
So he's like buying groceries.
Mackenzie ignores what he just says
in response.
I think I'm gonna need to go
to New York this weekend.
Like my stress is out through the roof
and most of it is because of you.
That honestly sounds like it's your fault
because I'm really just not doing anything.
I'm sorry asking you
to go to Florida brought so much stress on you,
now don't fucking text me.
help when you fix this i'll talk to you bye kenzie i love you then don't talk to me i didn't do
anything like i for real don't care at all so we're not going to florida or anywhere this weekend
not even new york you have five minutes to reply to my message or there will be problems by the way
one minute you have to fix this i will block you then you will be really stressed and no i can't
go to florida not even new york i'll block you right now i'm so serious five minutes to answer
new york is vaccine mandatory and no kenzie you're being super insensitive i don't want to go
anywhere with you till you fix this i'm not fixing anything because i did nothing i will block you
so i would be answering so am i blocking you i swear to god i will right now if you don't answer
right now dom actually sends one of the longest messages i've ever seen him text to kenzie he
says let me tell you my point of view i'm rushing through walmart didn't grab a cart just grabbing
things in my arms so i get to the line and i didn't even put myself down yet and you start
texting me and then you start calling me telling me you want to go to florida and that's a big
decision for me because i'd assume i'd be paying for everything and book flights and everything and
a day we'd probably pay a thousand dollars for a ticket as opposed to like two three hundred so i
just wanted to get off the phone so i can at least think and check out and for real meanwhile i'm
stressed about you know more than ever about money because i have to support myself and now i'm gonna
have to support my mom because i'm not gonna let her work until she's dead so i'm kind of in a
pickle and the last thing i'm thinking about is blowing racks on a vacation and not even getting
a good deal and then on top of that all you do is get mad at me and start arguing with me when my
arms are full of shit in the walmart line so you can see how that can be frustrating
then you say you're gonna block me yeah i was pretty fed up and i still am bruh i just asked
when and you got mad you were ignoring me so i block you didn't seem to care you didn't seem to
care how i felt why would i ask you if i don't care when i told you how you were being insensitive
you didn't even answer like so when you wanted to block me i was like all right fuck it then she
doesn't even care then the fight resolves and mackenzie tells dom that she stole a 90 hoodie
from paxton they get into another fight and mackenzie threatens to call the police and
the police to his house all the while dom is asking mackenzie to help him understand what he
did wrong so he can understand her and apologize and she doesn't care she says i would start typing
right now you're not realizing you're actually going to be single she starts using a strike
system and telling him that he's using up all his strikes and when he doesn't respond the way she
wants to him and fights mackenzie tells him as long as you treat me good support what i do be
there for me whenever i need make me a stay-at-home wife and spoil me i can be the perfect girlfriend
but until then i'm a match your energy while all of this is happening mackenzie explains that she
good. I just want to die. Nothing is going to help. Maybe close a little bit. Right now there's
nothing to live for. Or like maybe going to prom with you. But I'm not even going to get a cute
dress. He reassures her that life has a plan for her and that prom will be super fun and they can
get a cabin and party all weekend. And then immediately after Mackenzie starts asking him
to take her to Philadelphia where there's a whole street of designer prom dresses.
So like this whole thing feels very manipulative in like a five-year-old way. It's almost
unbelievable in a sense. She's like, I just feel sad. Nothing in life will ever make me happy.
Maybe close. I guess maybe going to prom. But I can't even get the dress that I want. We should
go to Philadelphia. You know there's a street where they have designer prom. It's like literally
like that. It was crazy. All the while Dom is explaining that his mom could be sick for months.
She comforts him saying, you can cry on me. Then very quickly she's back to, I'm mad at you for
real. The gloves sold out. I guess she wanted him to purchase a specific type of gloves for prom.
They're sold out now. Dom explains that his mom is sick and has been
bedridden for the past week and really can only eat ice chips and can't really eat anything else.
Mackenzie just cares that Dom is texting her dry and without effort. Dom tells her the fact that
you're being like this with all that I got going on is so heartless. I don't know how to feel about
anything right now. Babe, you don't know how I felt lately. Please just cut me some slack for a
bit. Mackenzie responds, just because you feel like shit doesn't mean you have to be dry and
be a fucking dick. She sends him links to clothes. On sale. I need it. Only four extra smalls left.
She demands he call the restaurant she likes and make a reservation for three. And then weirdly,
Mackenzie cryptically texts that someone wants like her to go to Ohio State. Okay. She's like
something like, and then she wants me to go to Ohio State. So like I was confused, right? So Dom
is like, okay, it seems like she's saying her parents, like maybe her mom wants her to go to
Ohio State. So Dom responds, they want you to go to college? College isn't you. You already don't
do your schoolwork. She says, are you fucking dumb to go to a fucking party, Dom? Not to go to a
fucking college. Six months before the accident, almost to the day, Mackenzie texts Dom about
making dinner reservations. And she says, well, I'm saying just call and make sure because if
they're booked, I'm going to fucking freak out and there will be a death. Dom's mom is back in the
hospital and Mackenzie is nagging him, stressing him out because she doesn't like her prom dress
because it's too basic. She also complains, quote, my mom won't buy me the dress because
my mom is being power abusive. I don't even know what that means. Dom's mom is sick. Mackenzie is
telling her that he had just gotten out of the shower. He just needed to wait 20 minutes for his
hair because he does have long curly hair. And he says it's soaking wet, but he'll go after. And she
says she needs him to be a supportive boyfriend. He responds, and you're a supportive girlfriend?
I feel unappreciated, unloved and underlooked like every day. You threaten all these things
and I still try and do shit for you. But OK, the fight resumes a few days later when she asked him
to drop everything to buy her Chipotle again and bring it to her. And he explains it's going to
take him a second and she guilt trip him. Cool. I'm just not going to do it. I'm not going to do it.
I'm going to eat, I guess. Thanks. In one particularly nasty fight, Mackenzie threatens
Dom. You don't realize that you're going to lose your business. It's going to be doomed. You're
going to get no bitches. There's going to be terrible rumors about you because I'm not going
to not talk about how terrible you treated me this whole relationship. And I'm going to make
sure the whole world knows you're a fucking cheater and you treat women like shit and your
family is a goddamn mess. I would watch your back from now on. Honestly, more than your back.
She threatens him. You dead ass just lost the best thing you'll ever get. She calls him a piece of
shit. She responds coldly. And whose fault is that? You are. She threatens him. You're going to
be miserable and you're going to be sitting in a fucking jail. And that's a threat. You just messed
up the best thing that ever happened in your life. And now your freedom will be gone. You just fucked
with the wrong bitch. Be scared. The fight blows over and Mackenzie asked Dom if they can get
someone jumped, but nothing comes of that. Thankfully by February of 2022, this is like
when we noticed another big shift in the relationship. Dom stands up quite a bit more
to Mackenzie's threats. She picks a fight over nothing again.
And he tells her, Kenzie, you break up with me this time. We're done. I care about you,
but I'm not doing this breakup shit. He expresses that he can apologize in fights, but not if
there's this looming threat of like, if you don't apologize, we're going to break up. Mackenzie
tells him you're literally a fucking dumb ass. You learn that you're on thin ice. You'll lose
me in a fucking snap of a finger. I would watch your goddamn mouth. Kenzie, at this point, I don't
give a fuck. Break up with me this two times a week, every week. Like what the fuck I'm done with
this bullshit. So toxic. I want to be happy. I want real love. Not this. I'm not a piece of shit.
I don't give a fuck. I know my
worth. And it's not worth wasting my energy over someone who doesn't even love me. He tells her
you used all your threats. They don't work anymore. I know if you love me, I'll be in your
life. But right now you're just showing me how much you really don't care. Fight resolves. And
Mackenzie goes on to really show her true colors. Being a dinosaur denier. She texts him and she
says she kind of believes that dinosaurs never existed. Are we surprised? No, we're not surprised,
but we are tired. So tired. Mackenzie has never believed in any other living being
besides herself, even fucking dinosaurs. Dom sums it up and says, I can't even go take a shit and
wipe my ass without it being a problem. Mackenzie threatens him that she could become his worst
enemy in a fucking day because he wouldn't buy her a bag, like a purse. Dom says she threw juice on
his car and she tried to throw a rock at him. She like denies this, but it's like a weird denial
where she was like, I wasn't like trying to throw it at you. It's like a weird, like, I don't really
believe it. Mackenzie will also say variations of you're going to worship me like the goddess I am
or we're done. She like sends that
message five times to really get it through his head. She also tries to tase him. In one text
message, Dom says, don't come fuck up my house again or try and tase me. Like for real, that
shit is not it. Wild. Yeah. March 2022, Dom seems to have recorded a fight with Mackenzie where she
essentially traps him in the car and he texts her, Mackenzie, you wouldn't let me out the car. And I
said, I delete it. Like you didn't let me out the car and you didn't let me go inside and you
threatened to call the cops on me and you threatened to ruin my life. Like if I didn't
record you, you probably would have called them and got me in trouble because they
always believed the girl. She responds. I mean, I can make that happen. March of 2022, Dom also
accuses Mackenzie of driving like a maniac. He says, I told you to stop the car and I tried to
get out and you started driving like a maniac. I thought if I opened it, you would stop the car
in another fight. This is all a few months before Dom's death. Mackenzie texts him.
Good. I hope you die in the fucking accident. You fucking pussy. You were the most disgusting
little pussy ever. And the fact that I was even trying to make it work like this with you all day,
wasting my fucking energy on your fucking broke pussy ass. I should send your ass to fucking prison.
You are a fucking pussy and you deserve everything coming your way. I would watch your back. You
deserve all the karma that's coming your way. And you're about to get fucked with karma.
Like this is actually crazy. Okay. I'm assuming like nothing happened. Well, so Mackenzie was
going on and liking a bunch of like guys pictures. So he went and like storied hanging out with a
girl again, doesn't warrant this kind of, yeah, I don't know what this emotional status. And then
later Mackenzie tells Dom to just tell her his deepest thoughts. She rationalizes. I tell you
will kill people all the time. What? Yeah. She's like, you should tell me your deepest, darkest
thoughts. Like I tell you all the time that I'll kill people. I tell you that I will kill people
all the time. I would rather you be open with me rather than push things under the rug and,
you know, keep it in because that's when it gets bad. I've been in therapy my whole life.
If anything, I can help you and make you feel better. You do not scare me. I don't think that's
a normal thought that people have. Right. Other messages. Mackenzie is just confused. She says,
like, why the fuck do I have to beg you to spoil me? You should want to buy me nice things.
"It's honestly disgusting."
Then he concedes and buys her
whatever she was nagging him about and she quickly says,
I love you, Nug.
She also rants to Dom about a girl who went off on her about being broke.
Who's, you know, remember that?
The girl was like, it's not even your money and you like make fun of broke.
And she says, she's just mad that you spoil me and treat me like a trophy wife
that I deserve to be treated.
And she's just going to be really mad when she's shopping at Mark's
and I'm on a magazine.
And then she's going to be mad as fuck for seeing me on a magazine.
And she's going to open Instagram and see me on her Instagram too.
And then when she closes Instagram, she's going to open TikTok.
And I'm going to be the first person to pop up on her For You page
with 1 million likes.
At that point, she's going to turn off her phone and be done with life.
Are you five?
What is this weird fantasy land?
April of 2022, Dom starts calling Mackenzie a narcissist.
He says, would you ever consider yourself?
And this is what's crazy about this conversation, okay?
He doesn't call her a narcissist in a fight.
It's almost like curious.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He says, would you ever consider yourself to be a narcissist?
I think you've become a narcissist.
And I'm being serious.
I'm not trying to be mean.
She responds.
And I didn't ask.
Now stop texting me.
I'm so glad we didn't fuck this morning.
Should have known this would be coming out of you.
You disgust me.
Learn how to talk to women better.
That's what a narcissist would say.
Mackenzie, you're literally a narcissist.
And you're literally bipolar.
So what's your point?
Are you going to acknowledge it or try to change it all?
You literally just keep saying what a narcissist would say.
Then break up with me now because I don't have time for your mental illness.
Mackenzie, you're a narcissist and you don't realize it.
Just because I think I'm a fucking. Being God doesn't mean I'm a narcissist.
Now stop texting me.
You're getting blocked if you send me one more message that I don't like.
Just because I think I'm God?
Yeah.
Which is actually. I don't even think narcissists would say that.
That's crazy.
Like you'd have to be a really crazy narcissist to say that.
They say a narcissist won't acknowledge that they're a narcissist.
And they say that they think that they're gods and expect special treatment.
And they say they never say sorry.
You know, the whole, I'm going to break up with you.
Manipulative.
Lack of empathy.
Definitely.
You never say sorry to me ever.
And your need for admiration, obviously, you have that.
You want to be famous and a model and all the attention and all of that.
Checked every single box, babe.
That's a wild. Yeah.
Wow.
LOL.
You were disgusting.
Break up with me, pig.
Every girl wants to be famous.
You're disgusting.
Even if you're not totally a narcissist, you're showing a lot of narcissistic behavior.
I don't like your weird attitude right now.
And you're showing extreme signs of future abuse.
Everybody has. Shit that they have to deal with.
I'm obviously not a narcissist.
And if that's how you truly feel about me, then why do I want to be with somebody who looks at me that way?
I plan to clean up trash on the highway and I love animals and I defend all your friends.
I don't need you telling me how I am or how I feel on the inside.
I'm more conscious than any of those people.
I'm more self-aware than any of these people.
I'm more self-aware than you.
I see everything and I know everything.
I don't need you telling me what's going on.
Is this all really because I didn't care that you hit your head on the door after you left my door open in the rain?
That's a narcissist comment.
Yeah, that was crazy.
I know everything.
I see everything.
I do everything.
Also, randomly, I plan to pick up trash on the highway.
I was really thrown off by that.
I plan to pick up.
Yeah.
She's like, I fucking love animals.
And she said, your future abuse behavior.
What is going on?
Literally, what a narcissist would say again.
Again, you just keep doing it.
He said that too?
Yeah.
Again, you just keep doing it over and over again.
Maybe you should look up what a narcissist means.
I read a book on it.
I know exactly what they mean.
They are.
Kenzie, I'm just considering this now and telling you how you show a lot of narcissistic behavior.
And I don't want you to become one.
And you should work on some habits.
I love you.
I'm not trying to say anything bad about you.
Mackenzie argues back.
I literally showed my mom this conversation.
And she's saying the only thing I need to work on is my level of compassion.
That does not make me a fucking narcissist.
Now stop texting me because we have problems.
Somebody who loves me would never talk to me this way.
You have many things that you need to work on too.
Maybe we can support each other and help each other grow without being disrespectful and trying
to hurt me.
She showed this to the mom?
Yeah.
And the fact that her mom was like, you're not a narcissist is crazy.
I'm not being disrespectful.
I'm just telling you you're a narcissist.
I literally read a book on it.
You want to read it too?
Conversation resolves and Dom points out that he's worried about her driving and Mackenzie
texts him.
Maybe you could have said it nicely instead of telling me I'm an accident waiting to
happen, telling me I'm bad at driving and that I'm a bitch.
April 2022, Dom starts really putting his foot down, demanding an apology when Mackenzie
is out of line.
He asks nicely compared to how she usually does.
But even then, she starts throwing temper tantrums, texting him 10 times.
You are not getting a fucking apology.
You're not getting a fucking apology.
Are you getting it now?
Dom starts psychoanalyzing her a bit, saying, you just have no sympathy or empathy for me
for some very, very, very odd reason.
You're not getting an apology.
Do you have remorse for anyone?
So that's what's going to happen.
This is your last chance because I'm going to block you.
Okay, Mackenzie.
It just feels like he's starting to see her.
And.
I think she's not enjoying that.
Yeah.
She starts going off, threatening him and saying this is his last chance to which he
says, well, I'm making dinner and I'm just waiting to see if you have some type of remorse
for human life.
Then later they get into a fight because Dom didn't want to buy something for Mackenzie
and her argument is obviously very clearly sound of mind.
You know, she argues, then stop buying stuff for me if you have such a problem with spending
money.
He texts her.
I'm not doing this.
You're not going to demand money from me and then get mad.
Like, what the fuck?
You should apologize.
I asked.
If you could.
Pay for my town hall.
I didn't demand money.
If you're that worried about your pockets, you shouldn't have given me money.
So like the whole fight.
Okay.
This is what I deciphered.
And I had to read it like a trillion times because I'm like, wait, this can't be real.
He gave her money, but it wasn't enough to cover the things that she wanted.
So she's upset.
And she said, you shouldn't have even given me money in the first place.
She says, I can just start asking my mom for money.
Like, I guess what the fuck is wrong with you?
Yeah.
I gave you $25 and then you got mad and wanted more.
Like, what the fuck?
Yes, you're right.
Because I told you what I was getting and it costs more than $25.
Like, I gave you money and you got mad.
I've never heard of that ever.
I don't know what's up with you lately, but you're honestly digging yourself in a hole.
No, you are.
Then clearly the not narcissist, you know, because she loves animals.
Mackenzie gets super mad at Dom for not responding quickly.
And he informs her that his dog just got injured.
His dog actually ends up dying, but that he, his mom and his brother,
Angela were helping their family pet.
And Dom is explaining that his dog is in pain.
Can't even walk.
He's peeing himself.
And like, it's been forever.
Five minutes that he didn't text back because he was helping his dog.
Mackenzie ignores all of this and says, so you're not coming.
This is the type of shit I'm talking about.
At least have some compassion for Nyko.
He's a helpless animal.
I have compassion for Nyko.
I'm saying he just doesn't need three people to be helping him right now.
Doesn't like, I don't need to be kissing ass to feel bad.
In another argument, she explains if she had a life or death situation
where she has to call her boyfriend and he doesn't pick up, she would die.
She would literally die because he never picks up.
May 2021.
2022 things are not getting better.
They will have fights spanning multiple days or like a small random fight.
That'll start at 2:00 PM.
And now it doesn't end until like 10:00 PM that night.
Like I read it all.
And I still don't know what these fights are about.
It's just Mackenzie mad at Dom because Dom is making some quote gay ass
edibles and not responding and that people on the internet are making her
feel better than he makes her feel.
And that goes on for like seven hours, the whole fight.
Then another fight breaks out because Mackenzie is bored AF, but somehow
that's Dom's fault and that turns into a fight.
She also doesn't want Dom to spend time with his mother on mother's day.
He says, Kenzie, I'm trying to be there for my mom.
Say whatever you want.
I don't know why you're so mad.
I've never rushed you at any of your family parties.
I don't really have family.
Most of these people have been in my life since I was a kid.
And like, I want to be here for my mom.
I'd never get mad at you for being there for your mom.
He tries to give her a soft reality check and says, Kenzie last two
days were about my mom and Nyko.
Cause the dog passed.
It can't be about you every day.
I don't even make it about me.
Ever.
The only thing I get to do that I want to do is work, read and workout.
Sometimes shoot the basketball.
You know, I make everything about you, like what you eat, what you want for dinner.
Like 99 out of a hundred times.
We do what you want to do every single day, 99 out of a hundred times.
But the one time out of 100 times that I need to do something,
something tragic happens.
Like it can be about someone else.
The month of June, the month before the fatal crash is a lot.
There are multiple multi-day fights.
Like.
Crash out fights.
Things are getting exponentially worse.
McKenzie clearly needs a lifetime subscription to psychology today and a
therapist on call, but she doesn't have either of those things.
So she takes it all out on Dom.
June 6th to June 8th, two day long multi-day crash out.
So prior to all of this, there have been little fights here and there throughout
the year where Dom is like really upset because McKenzie is hanging out with
alleged sex workers and she is 17 at this point, right?
He's accusing her of selling her feet.
She doesn't deny it.
So this is, you know, kind of a very soft spot, raw spot for the.
Couple and Dom seems to put his foot down repeatedly that he's just not okay with it.
June 6th, a month and a half before Dom and Davion are killed.
McKenzie tells Dom she wants to go out with G the alleged sex worker friend.
She wants him to join them, but he's like, he, he actually isn't even mad.
He's like, I'd rather just like wake up early in the morning and work out.
Also like 17, 18 or no, she seems like an adult, so much, much older.
I feel like it judging by the pictures, but I can't tell.
And he says that he'd rather get up early in the morning and work out.
And stay on his grind, then go out and like, not even have a good time.
But he tells her like, she can go out.
He doesn't even seem passive aggressive.
He's like, I just don't really want to.
He even tells her, just be careful.
Cause you guys are going downtown and it's late.
Also, it's like a Monday night.
She repeatedly whines and begs him to come.
And then randomly asks him if he wants to come over just to bring her, her
lashes and lash glue so that she can get.
What an enticing offer that one simply cannot turn down.
Nevertheless, he turns it down.
He tells her that he is going to leave the door to his house open though, because,
you know she doesn't like to go home so after if she she wants to come
she can come sleep in his house and she's like nonsense nonsense don't do such a thing just leave
the window open i'm gonna climb through the window she's like okay around midnight mackenzie informs
him that she got in with her fake id even though the entry people knew it was fake she got in and
it's dead inside which she's like yeah it's a monday she gets upset at midnight that he's not
responding quickly and he's texting short and dry and if she were him she would be answering faster
she starts crashing out accusing him of being dry with her right now but also being a dick the whole
dinner because they had like gone out to dinner before she went out with her friends and she's
like so you're a dick the whole time at dinner you don't say you love me back and now you're being a
dick again what the fuck we're about to have problems i don't know why you're not replying
fast either dom is so confused he's like i literally didn't do anything she keeps flipping
out on him giving him the countdown to respond faster and he's just fed up he says bruh nah
what's your deal i'm gonna give you one last chance
you
you got five minutes to answer
five minutes to answer
you got five minutes to answer
the questions you ignored i'm so serious dom is so confused he's like i don't know what question
you asked same i don't know either i'm like rereading it i'm like i don't understand so
it's not like one party lacks reading comprehension mackenzie questions why the fuck are you being so
and a dick like did blair or hannah sleep over yes or no i'm not being a dick you're just tripping
on me and neither both actually will is here he's about to go take a piss test oh you slept with
will lol he responds lol so i naively thought this whole fight is over and i'm like what the fuck
are you talking about i'm not being a dick i'm not being a dick i'm not being a dick i'm not being a dick
i'm not being a dick i'm not being a dick i'm not being a dick i'm not being a dick i'm not being a dick
like they'll be getting mad and then mackenzie will be like oh what's for dinner and then they
just they're fine but now she goes right back to arguing about how he can no longer say he loves her
i guess he lost the right to she wants him to obsessively care about her you know to which he
says i love you but i don't care about your night because she's like why aren't you asking me about
my night you don't care that this is my first time i went out with my friends and you don't care
yeah you went out with a bunch of prostitutes i don't want to know what y'all doing i will
deadass block you with this gay ass attitude if it continues like you will regret talking to me
like this i'm so serious lol she argues that he never shows her love or cares for her he disagrees
what do you mean i always do no you actually don't i paid for your dinner bought you a dress
and let you go to the club with prostitutes and i i was reading the messages that is kind of
exactly what happened other than i wouldn't use the word prostitutes but he did buy her he did
take her to dinner paid for the dinner bought her a dress and then um let her go out with her girls
and she says don't chase dry unloving uncaring if anything i'm being super caring and easy and
loving you're acting disgusting this is not the dom i know you're overreacting kenzie i ain't
really do shit she starts mass texting him non-stop about how he needs to care about how
he's unloving uncaring dry and he's fucked because he's not responding the way she wants and he tells
her but i do give effort to be honest if you're gonna chill with prostitutes all the time then
probably won't give any effort she gives him one last chance to apologize which he does but i don't
think he's apologizing because he doesn't mean what he said he says love you kenzie sorry i was
being mean to you what massage are you booking for me then i'm your boyfriend not your slave
you can book it tonight since you'd you know rather other people touch me instead of you
also she spells s-i-n-c-e s-e-n-c-e so we are a little closer to finding mackenzie's brain but
not there the fight starts getting extra heated mackenzie
keeps going on and on about how he never gives her effort which finally dom asks what do you do for
our relationship or even around the house let's say self-worth is way more than just having a pretty
face you're digging your own funeral she responds and she says she loves saying this part she says
one i make the house a home i don't know what that means okay two i do the dishes three i clean the
kitchen when you cook four i made you better and a somewhat loyal person five i showed you spiritually
i think she means i showed you spirituality but she can't find a dictionary she hasn't shown
herself a dictionary yet and she also loves saying like i make the house a home i don't know what that
means like just by being there designating it as your permanent residence right she says love is
more than just buying me stuff you give no compliments no love no effort no caring she
also uses the wrong t-h-e-n i know it sounds like i'm nitpicking but like she uses t-h-e-n when it
t-h-e-n-t-s i've never you know been the spelling police but like she's pissing me off okay dom argues
last i checked i clean more than you i cook and i make all the money and you just drive me to the
bottom yeah then my dog just died and you were the one keeping me in bed an extra hour that morning
when i wanted to get up and read pick your poison and dig your funeral i'm going to the top no matter
who with me or not you can drive and be strong and support me or you can go mackenzie responds
so cuddling is bad taking an extra hour to give you a good night's sleep and then you're like
me love is bad cool good to know if you don't value me at all all you care about is yourself
she also argues that she does so much for him she manifests for him but he doesn't care about that
he goes on to talk about how he keeps trying to get on his grind but she won't let him and she
won't give him the time to do the things that he needs to do and he says like this for real like
my future i'm gonna start getting up at 5 a.m every day gonna go ham get smart as fuck and
be a fucking billionaire you want to be a regular like live check to check go do it your parents
will show you how i got the blueprint to be a fucking boss now you wish you were a fucking
or you're not no in between i don't give a fuck so it seems like he's like really trying to like
fed up yeah and i think the verbiage is obviously very strong and not like the nicest to hear but
it seems like he because like even since the beginning he's always been very worried about
his future but it seems like he's kind of fed up with her wasting a lot of his time and it's like
getting in the way of what he actually wants in life and she's like did you just diss my family
she starts threatening to diss his family and he says she already does that all the time
and mackenzie starts flipping out you don't know anything about my
fucking family you're not even here half the time just because she says she can't afford something
doesn't mean she doesn't have it you need to fuck out of my family's financial situation
are you really trying to ruin the relationship between you and my family or something why the
fuck are you just spewing negativity she also gives like a weird argument about cuddling and
she's like i wasn't trapping you that morning i thought we were having a moment and you wanted
to be with me if i knew that you were being weird as fuck and didn't even want to cuddle me you
think i would have wanted to cuddle you what the fuck calls her out and he says get the fuck out
of here you want some bullshit you're holding me back right now
you're holding me back right now
am i holding you back please give me multiple reasons no that's just wasting my time and
holding me back more i'm done with this conversation i'm gonna go get shit done
she demands reasons and he responds okay you're weak you drive me to the bottom you fighting over
dumb shit it's weak you think i'm weak i stayed with your manipulative cheater for fucking half
of our relationship you think i'm fucking weak you're fucking repulsive and i cannot believe
you just said that to me you hanging with people that ain't getting nowhere in life
is weak she starts listing all the things she does for him one includes growing a
garden like basil yeah it appears her garden is just like a few herbs which is a few more herbs
than i have right but she's upset okay because he's like i don't even eat the basil like the
basil i just cook you pesto pasta and that's what the basil is for i don't even eat the pesto pasta
i don't like pesto pasta and then she's like are you dissing my garden now the garden isn't even
done growing so i don't know why the fuck you're dissing it stop talking to me you have issues
he respond that garden is for you not me no you just don't want to be in my garden
you treat me like shit i can't even go to bed you get mad because i don't want to rub your ass
yeah she's like obsessed with people like massaging her like no i'm not a slave to you
i'm already a slave to money like 99 of the population like for real you're driving us to
the bottom i'm done with this you want to be strong and do shit you can be with me you want
to drive me to the bottom and chill with low lives you can go respectfully because i ain't going there
she starts threatening a breakup and says that he's disgusting for saying this and he's hurting
her and then calls him abusive for trying to isolate her from her friends which i mean
she does that with all of his friends with this specific friend group he does give a pretty
legitimate reason like when they were on break she let a guy fuck her feet for money and she's
also underage when this happens so he says nah you're hurting me and wasting my time oh i can't
rub your ass when i'm tired and you know staying up to watch tv with you now so there's a problem
and we shut off the show and you're not going to talk to me the rest of the night and morning and
not say i love you back like sounds like you're holding love from me toxic i'm fucking mad now
okay go be mad alone then and then she's like no i don't want to be with you
and then i think dom may be at his breaking point i don't know he does text mackenzie back
guarantee i'll slap the fuck out of your next boyfriend with a hundred thousand dollars and
make him cry she gets upset and he tells her that back in 2020 before they really started dating he
was waking up at 4 a.m to study and read and he made racks off of crypto but now he doesn't have
time to do any of that they bring the conversation back though somehow to dom not chasing mackenzie
enough she says that is how a relationship works when i tell you i'm mad at you and i'm gonna leave
you're supposed to chase me and i'm gonna leave you're supposed to chase me and i'm gonna leave
me and tell me that you love me and you want me to stay which i mean i agree when it's like a really
not a fight it's like i'm mad and like everyone's joking and like it's not a serious relationship
fight but this is like she's talking in serious relationship fights that's just manipulative he
says no that's toxic that's push and pull we have talked about this fight goes on in circles and
circles back to dom telling mackenzie he really doesn't like the friends mackenzie's choosing and
who he's like you are who you hang out with and she's hanging out with low lives he also argues
that anytime they hang out all he can think about is how mackenzie sold her body to the
random dude mackenzie responds nobody who loves me would ever talk to me or treat me the way you
have treated me this last week if you knew the strong independent leader i am you would know
that's not something i'm interested in doing but
clearly you don't care and all you care about is yourself he's talking about the friend and she
hooked you up with the dude we were broken up and it was just my feet do you think about it more
than i think about it g knows that i'm not interested in any of that stuff but clearly
you can't understand it whenever you chill with her that's what i remember her pimping you i need
girlfriends to do girly things with me like pedicures and roller skating she does not tempt
me she just tries to have fun with me she's the only person who's ever there for me and tells me
how it is and she has never made me choose she influenced you to let a dude fuck your feet i'm
not going to be manipulated by a man it's childish for you to think that you can just treat a human
being like this no you got manipulated by her she pimped you she argues it's just her feet and that
was so long ago and they were broken up like which is exactly what dom argues when mckenzie
brings up him cheating in the past but he's not allowed to use that argument but i guess she's
allowed to in the midst of this multi-day marathon fight dom still asks if there's anything that she
wants to say to her and she says no i'm not going to do that i'm not going to do that i'm not going to
eat for dinner so he can start prepping it he gives her options pesto pasta that he doesn't
even eat chicken and rice or tomato sandwiches
june 24th 2022 about a month before their deaths they have another huge fight over the same thing
mckenzie hanging out with g the alleged sex worker mckenzie starts the fight because she texts i look
up the club with them again what do you think so they were normal right and she asks what do you
think he responds like what do you expect him to respond okay he responds do what you want kenzie
you know what'll happen what will happen you'll be mad at me question mark will you be mad at me
question mark yes or no she like obsessively wants him to give her the okay so that when he does get
mad inevitably she's gonna be like well you told me i could go no i'll end up breaking up with you
i already told you this you'll break up with me if i go to the club with them answer fast like why are
you being
dry like why are you being dry like hello i'm not gonna keep going over this you make your own
decisions i'll make mine she sends a message after message demanding he answered now what the fuck is
your issue text me back i'm for real mad like why are you like this trying to control me and fuck
with my head she accuses him of manipulating her saying so can i go or not fucking answer i'm not
doing this manipulation this is not it you would be good at manipulation too because you're the
one who reads all those books on how to control and manipulate people and have their power also
like he's probably just like reading atomic habits and the 48 laws of power okay no he
should read though yeah he should like come on it was only like that book that he was like wait
this is weird like she's literally manipulating him yeah right now he says i got all those books
because i realized you were manipulating me she says that it's manipulative that he says that he
will maybe break up with her if she goes clubbing with them she says that threat is manipulative
she demands a yes or no it's like so bizarre to me she starts spamming him you dead ass have three
seconds yes or no yes or no yes or no yes or no what are you gonna break up with me if i go to the
club
she accuses him of being manipulative of being toxic of being fucking insecure to the point that
it's depressing of treating her like a fucking prisoner hurting her feelings being a bad
communicator a dictator using emojis when they're not warranted and this is all in the span of like
approximately two minutes she demands i'm gonna go tonight and you're not gonna say nothing and
you're gonna say nothing is going to change and you're also going to apologize to me when i get
home you got five minutes to call me because you've already ruined the night you have five minutes
yeah she's like asking but does not take any answers yeah until it gets to her way i just like
i've never met anyone like this ever in life i didn't even know i just can't stop thinking about
like her parents yeah she also brings up that she's so thoughtful because she was there for
him when his mom got sick and i'm like did i miss something in the messages like i've seen her more
invested in a if a grocery store carries good chicken and her outfits than his mom being
hospitalized but she's like bringing it up she's like i was there for you when your mom was sick
dom mentions that it took mackenzie less than 24 hours of their breakup to let a guy fuck her feet
she hits him back that she doesn't even know his name so it doesn't really count but he disagrees
saying that's worse which hello the whole point that we're missing is she's 17 okay so i'm confused
here but she says clearly you want me like a doll if you think i'm a prostitute leave me you don't
understand how fucking repulsive you sound like this is literally mental abuse you're harvesting
my amazing energy and you're not going to listen to me you're not going to listen to me you're not
any woman you say that to will think that you like that's absolutely the most disgusting thing
ever she ends up going to the club and somehow they're fine until he falls asleep and she starts
freaking out on him at 1 24 a.m until 11 30 a.m when he wakes up and they start fighting again
about mackenzie's choice and friends and mackenzie says then there's always going to be a problem
because i'm never going to get rid of good friends because you have a problem with it this is how
abuse starts she shows up at his house honking her horn like a maniac i presume and they argue some
more before he seems to let her in
and the next day they're talking about making margaritas then there is this infamous feed fight
it's actually not infamous maybe only to our team because what the fork did we just read
june 29th almost exactly a month before the crash mackenzie tells dom over text that he fucked up
he's confused he says how did i fuck up he says i told you to stop putting your feet in my face
and you kept doing it she accuses him of never keeping his word which i thought was really
random like i'm not even sure how those two connect in the fight
he says what does keeping my word have to do with this and no kenzie i don't care i told you to stop
or i'm going to get up and you kept doing it she like keeps putting her feet in his face you didn't
say stop or i'm gonna get up yes i did i said that you said you would be caring and loving and you
have not been loving in days my boyfriend is supposed to be attracted to all of me and not
make me feel gross about my feet yeah so they're like on the couch watching a show and she's like
putting his feet her feet in his face kenzie feed her feet
after you everywhere all day it's just not it like i wouldn't touch my feet right now and if i did i
definitely wash my hands i don't care just stop you already did enough i thought it would end but
it doesn't it goes on mackenzie threatens to leave dom's house so that they're like texting in the
same house and fighting he's confused why she's so upset that he doesn't want her feet in his face
like he he's genuinely confused same as i right and she's confused why he won't apologize she says
this isn't a very good relationship if you can't apologize when you hurt me kenzie you should be
the one apologizing dom is like okay hold on dom is like let me get this straight i asked you to
watch a show you rudely wave your feet back and forth in my face i tell you to move them you
perceive to wave your fate feet in my face i can't physically see the tv so how would i watch the show
i get up get my joint and go to sit back by you and you're taking up the whole couch so i sit on
the other one then you demand i turn the show off that just sounds like you're giving me a hard time
she's like yeah i'm not giving you a hard time i'm giving you a hard time i'm giving you a hard time
i gave you a hard time because you made me feel bad about my feet he's asking all the right
questions dom comes in and says kenzie how am i supposed to watch a tv show when i can't see
with your feet in my face she responds how am i supposed to watch a tv show with you when you
can't even be respectful about how i feel i mean i literally i physically literally couldn't see
the show you were disrespectful first you should have got your feet out my face no i wasn't i was
just putting my feet on you so maybe you would rub them
but i forgot you find my feet disgusting i don't find any feet charming their feet but out of all
the gross feet you definitely have the best ones i don't give a fuck you're supposed to love every
inch of my body i do but where is the gross feet coming from like yeah i told you i don't like feet
but like it wasn't about your feet being gross maybe you should have asked me to massage them
instead of forcing them in my face so i couldn't watch tv like for real and i'm supposed to
apologize july 2nd the month of the crash dom sends a very thorough and well thought out
message to me i'm sorry i didn't know you were going to watch a tv show with me so i'm going to
and i think the logic is there okay he says that he's you know just been feeling weird the past few
years and he's contemplated this for a while and he says kenzie you know i love you but i don't
think we should be together at this point there isn't very much time on earth you know i'd like
to stop fighting but it's like a breakup fight every week neither of us deserve that i don't
want to fight all the time and i know you don't either anyone who is around anyone every day of
the week is bound to fight if we can't separate for a little then we're only going to fight more
i don't want you to think i'm abandoning you
i wish it could work out but i don't think it's going to at this point especially with the threats
we should just break up so we can both find happiness somewhere else you can say oh i don't
love you all you want but i promise you i do i want the best for both of us baby i'm sorry but
we're fighting and i love you is that okay of course it's not okay because it's mackenzie
mackenzie blows up on him i tried to have some level of cognitive understanding of how mackenzie
still has people supporting her like her friends primarily it's just weird because kindness
does not equate to guilt in the court of law and i get that but it's just weird because she's such
a despicable person she doesn't let that slide she freaks out on him and then in another text
message mackenzie tells dom kendall is dory the fish in a human body that bitch is stupid as fuck
i feel stupider since absorbing mackenzie's thoughts and grammatical errors so i'm not
sure she's on the position to stand on her supposedly nasty ass feet and call someone
else stupid mackenzie's birthday is also coming up which she does turn 18 a few days after the crash
interestingly but she sends him a list of things she wants for her birthday and then she goes
snooping on his phone so there's like this whole incident where they're hanging out and he's
sitting on the couch on his phone and then she walks over and is like i guess demanding to see
like what's what he's doing and he's like no get away and then ultimately the an argument comes out
and he's like i was buying you your birthday present she texts him that she's so mad because
now she knows what he got for her birthday and it was supposed to be a surprise and he spoiled it
she says i forgot you literally cannot plan surprises for anything thank you so much for
the surprise like really thank you so much today is gonna fucking suck like you literally just gonna
ruin my day well it's not a surprise i'm just gonna order something else okay whatever kenzie
i'll find something else to get you well i won't
wanted that but one of the biggest fights before the crash is from july 17th 2022 this is two weeks
before mackenzie crashes the car killing dom and davion mackenzie texts dom all you are is mentally
abusive physically abusive and a terrible boyfriend you don't do anything good for me and you literally
treat me like shit and call me the worst names you can think of the fact that my boyfriend of
four years just tried to end my life by steering me off the highway that's how i know you're not
in love and you were never somebody who loves me because they would never do this to me so this is
what her parents are saying is proof that dom is the one so like they're almost insinuating that
the night of the crash maybe dom did something right don can push the car for a hundred miles
an hour that's what a lot of people argue too like what do you mean yeah there's nothing don
could do yeah in a passenger seat but that's kind of what they insinuate like oh this has happened
before you know and it's interesting so i really try to be objective in the sense of like
you
it's it's hard because we know what happens in hindsight but i'm still like trying to be oh well
maybe we don't know and like two things can be true at once but the messages just don't make
sense to me the messages don't seem like dom did this because if you read like the full conversation
it's odd okay dom responds i really didn't kenzie but okay somebody who loves me would just apologize
because they care and want me to feel loved so this is weird like let's say that did happen why
is mackenzie responding this way like i feel like she again is the type to be like yeah you
literally pulled this way and then did this and like you know it sounded more like she's trying to
make a narrative out of a fight like yeah no you try to kill me you literally try to kill me
yeah and while the down was like no i probably accidentally touched the steering wheel by two
seconds yeah and she's like no you're trying to kill me like that's the energy and so he says
goodbye i want my money too so he's like i want my money back i guess maybe she took money or
loan money or like the money he spent on her i should have known this relationship was never
real when i told you i love tripping with you and you just said i love tripping that's like a really
weird thing to bring up and he says civil claims court you heard so he's like i'm gonna take you
to court to get my money back okay then i'm gonna go to the police station right now she tells him
the only reason it went this far is because you try to end my life kenzie i didn't you could have
just apologized when you did something wrong but i forgot you're too immature so again she's less
focused on the fact that like if he genuinely did try to kill them i would have been like oh my god
i feel like that would have been the main focus but it's more so like why aren't you reacting the
way i want you why don't you apologize yeah you'd be like oh my god he says why would i try to self
exit too she says some seriously uncalled for things to him about his mental health um i just
like really don't agree with that i think people can struggle with their mental health and have
dark thoughts and yet be in situations where they can be victims and definitely not want to self
exit like it's just weird she's like oh well you're the one that did this to yourself and
she's bringing up probably like his darkest things
and it seems like he was he's been getting better for the past year like exponentially better like
he i think he had a hard time with his mom being in the hospital but it wasn't like this dark of
like what is life it was more so like i have a lot of pressure i need to step up yeah he's trying to
get his life together yeah he's finally saying i'm going to so he's saying back to my grind yeah
so he's saying like why would i do that to myself and she's saying remember all this and it's just
like really shitty okay she throws it in his face as some sort of proof and he responds well i'm not
whatever kenzie that's what i thought this relationship will never be the same after
today i don't even know if i can be with you after this i absolutely cannot believe you just
try to end my life okay then don't be with me you need fucking help she brings it up again
yesterday you almost ended my life or could have ended my life and all your mom cared about was
you not going to jail like i'm literally never going to talk to your mom again unless she
apologizes so remember dom's mom's perspective was that dom called her yeah and was like kenzie's
trying to like crash the car yeah and then you know kenzie was like texting her things like
he abuses me and she's like you're lying and like normally i get it like mom's like yeah
what did dom tell don's mom on the phone kenzie's trying to crash the car crash the car like she's
driving recklessly she's driving recklessly okay let's just take both of their story so
dom is saying kenzie's driving recklessly probably like what is swerving swerving and going really
fast yeah kenzie is saying dom trying to steer the steering wheel yeah
sounded like you know like pulled over or something like stop and then kenzie's like no
you're trying to kill me while she's probably going really fast yeah like going crazy or like
maybe she was about to hit someone and thought like he thought i'm not saying he ever put his
hand on the steering wheel but i could imagine a world where he did but it was for their safety
right right but i mean if both of them are telling the truth what happened i can see that play out
yeah i'm not saying that's what happened but yeah i agree
so it's like this and meanwhile kenzie's saying you try to kill me i can totally see she's saying
that yeah and he's like that's not what happened why would i do that yeah that actually makes a lot
of sense and she says i'm never gonna talk to your mom until she apologizes i didn't try to do
anything one more reply that is not trying to fix this i'm blocking you give me one more shitty
reply that doesn't reply to anything and see what happens dom tries to clarify i'm just saying i
didn't try to kill us i was definitely not trying to do that well i don't believe that one bit and
that reply looked pretty shitty to me so are you planning on replying the same or are you just
gonna keep being a little bitch oh well okay call me a little bitch she freaks out more about his
responses to her demands that he apologized more you know than what she claims happened she demands
that he apologized and it's just interesting that he she's like freaking out about his response way
more than what she claims happened like would you not be freaking out if someone tried to kill you
but she's like your responses your responses are dry
yeah just manipulating she's just trying to use another randoms all she does is that and he tells
her if that's how she feels she's more than welcome to leave the relationship she says saying sorry is
not enough to fix the situation you try to end my life and you told me do you want to die which
again do you want to die like it sounds like what are you doing like what are you doing do you want
to die yeah it's not a threat it's like what you're doing is like yeah and your mom only cared
about you going to jail when you literally just tried to steer my car off the road being this
dismissive is honest and honest and honest and honest and honest and honest and honest and honest
the most disgusting thing ever like are you going to keep being the bottom or are you going to man up
and fight for your relationship because i'm not going to be with you if you're going to keep being
like this i need more than i'm sorry because what you did yesterday was something like you've never
done before and i was terrified i was going to lose my life due to abuse and the fact that you
think sorry is good enough to make this good is absolutely a joke and again it's weird that she's
like make it better it's just kind of it's hard to fathom that this is someone's reaction right
kenzie i don't i was just saying sorry i wasn't trying to end anyone's life you should believe
that why would i believe it when you did it how can i believe that you're never going to do that
again i can't i can't because i don't know your limit somebody who loves me would never do that
never i couldn't even do that if you told me to but i guess it's different for you yeah i wasn't
trying to do anything i wasn't trying to sell and like what i'm trying to self-exit because i would
have died first so i don't know if like maybe the way the car was i don't know right like if you're
if you don't believe me then yeah just break up with me if you can't believe me there's no point
anyway she continues going off about his mom and says and it's so interesting she's like almost
using this moment to alienate him from his mom because previously like what does she have it's
just like don't spend mother's day with her i want to spend time with you but then now she's like
latched on and then even previously with the vacation she was saying it was fucking disrespectful
and he's like what are you talking about like there was no real reason she says if i have a son
your mom is raising you guys which is so interesting because she's like kind of the
poster child for how bad parenting can make a monster right now why would i feel comfortable
coming anywhere near you i do not feel comfortable around you after you just try to end my life this
needs to be fixed over the phone before i even think about coming near you in person again
okay cool then we can be done don't talk about my mom on some bullshit she accuses dom's mom of only
caring about dom not going to jail which dom also brings up i'd never wish jail on anyone you throw
and apparently she's not getting thrown around in jail so there's that she demands more apologies
which he said he apologized for not speaking nicely to her but she brings up the car situation
again and she says i never thought you would ever do something like that to me you know i thought
you would always protect me but we learn new things about each other every day i would never
try to kill you lol like you tripping for that do you think it's funny or something why would i feel
comfortable linking up with you after you just try to end my life okay then don't so i guess we done
okay then i guess the whole world is gonna know what you did to me and i'm gonna be like i'm not
gonna be like i'm gonna be like i'm not gonna be like i'm not gonna be like i'm not gonna be like
dom says if she genuinely thinks that he tried to kill her they need to break up because i can't be
with someone who thinks that i tried to kill them anyway it doesn't have to be bad you know after we
break up either we had good times it just isn't working out i guess she demands he basically fix
it but he's like i don't believe there's anything i what do you want me to fix and she's like no
it's actually on you your words mean a lot right now and you're just proving that you would do it
again no kenzie i would never try to kill anyone i care about like what do you think of me like you
cool i think you're bipolar and you have a personality change and you would kill me if
you're too mad i also think you need to go to therapy okay then you don't have to be with me
i'm cool with whatever so like i i don't really see his anger um there are times where he's like
he kind of snaps at her and he'll say like like fuck off right but i don't see this like intense
anger in his text most of his text messages actually sound like more despondent like very
yeah okay like whatever like there's a few times where he's like you make me so mad
i want to like strangle someone but like it seems more like oh i'm so frustrated but like she seems
angry yeah and i also think you need to detach from your mom because at this point you're with
her more than you're with me
me if you're cool with whatever then i don't not want to be with you i want someone that's going
to fight for me and be there for me and not try to kill me to be honest no i barely see my mom
but whatever she knows i wouldn't try to kill anyone lol and again she's accusing him of trying
to kill her and that's her version of events but then she also says things like it's okay you don't
care and you're not going to chase me or try to fix it again if someone tried to kill you do you
care about them chasing you like that's actually the last thing you would want because you're like
no i'm actually scared yeah and when he refuses to do that she says you are literally such a bottom
like where did this dismissive energy even come from it's so sad if you're cool with whatever and
you don't care about this relationship and then we're done if you're not going to fix it and
chase and try to fix this then we are done i should have known being with you for four years
is just a waste of my fucking life you can't do anything for me my parents have been together for
almost 30 years and they did not break up once just because i have a different viewpoint doesn't
mean i don't care my dad has never done this to my mom you're the root cause of all these problems
and you say
i'm making the problem worse by standing up for myself and i'm just telling you to fix it
so it's interesting because he wants to talk to her in person and mind you again this is two weeks
before the the crash the murders right he wants to figure this out in person she refuses she says
we're going to solve it through iMessage which i thought was weird she loves doing things in
person she wanted to show up she wanted to get let in the house and but she claims it's because
she's scared for her life interesting yeah but then she gets mad when he responds
very slowly like he actually wants to break up yeah so it's like so you so even at this point
she's still not letting him go no because the whole response he's like okay if you think that
i try to kill you then break up with me like okay i don't want to be with you okay okay then we're
done he tells her how am i supposed to feel love or supposed to love you when you think i was trying
to kill you by proving that you love and care about me and want to protect me he says he's been
trying to talk to her but all she does is blackmail him and threaten to call the cops it's okay just
try to make this about me when you're the one who tried to kill me so you're not going to fix any of
this you can't prove it you're not going to prove it you're not going to prove it you're not going to
that you love me and will protect me forever good to know believe what you want she says he will hate
his life when he loses her and that he is pushing her away i'm not kenzie you're pushing me away
then break up with me if you're not planning on fixing any of this if it's that hard for you to
say that you love me and you'll always protect me then please break up with me mackenzie gets
annoyed with the speed of dom's responses and him not groveling she shows up at his house and she
says we done you were the worst you have five minutes to open the door to your house you're
going to tell me why i should stay in this relationship with you and it better be three very
reasons he responds why are you here she berates him and threatens him so you're going to open the
door or you can come in my car and you're going to tell me the three reasons why i should stay
with you if you can't give me three reasons then we are breaking up today not when you're all heated
you got me heated too for real i'm not heated at all i don't think you get to decide that knowing
that you don't know me at all you're talking shit about my mom it isn't cool i really don't give a
single fuck how you feel you tried to kill me yesterday and you just ruined this relationship
what you're gonna have to get over that because i'm never talking to that bitch again
unless she apologizes to me deeply i'm gonna give you five minutes to open the door or come in my car
talk because i'm not leaving dom says he can't do this right now that maybe they should talk later
because he's upset and she's banging on his window and she says yeah i was trying to let you know i'm
here because you blocked me once again being immature fine i'll come out give me a sec you're
gonna go in the backseat of my car because you're not allowed in the front he says well don't have
the car started i don't want you to try to pull off so he's like expressing anxiety of her driving
away with him in the car
i just thought that was interesting like maybe like but i don't know where he would he even say
that yeah because i was trying to think like where would he take her like to a separate location to
fight why would she take him yeah why where would she take him to wait what did he say one more time
i don't want you to well don't have it started the car i don't want you to try to pull off
it sounds like he doesn't want to be in the car with her and her driving she's adamant he's going
to get in the car and tell her three reasons why they should still be together and why he loves her
you better come ready to prove to me that you're worthy and in the midst of this fight she asks
and did you tell davion to unadd me or something ask him why he unadded me why are you not answering
what the fuck just remember davion is living with dom yeah and oh okay mckenzie mentions that rosie's
on the way he asks if she wants chipotle and like that was a thing in rosie's text messages remember
anyway she says she doesn't want anything from him because quote you're giving unloving lying bum
but within minutes she's like yeah then
go get chipotle make sure they make it good kids meal three soft tortillas steak cheese extra
lettuce get that one drink and do one third with the turmeric shit she brings up davion again did
you ever ask davion why he blocked me oh i told him unblock you don't say that i asked him why
he blocked me he didn't know he blocked you how but then she gets distracted and starts talking
about something else but that is interesting the day before the crash it seems mckenzie is getting
increasingly controlling over dom's time she doesn't want dom to be in the car with her
i'm spending time with his mom but also his grandparents remember because like that's the
video where she's like banging on the house and like trying to get in and he's recording it he
has to tell her kenzie please just stop my grandparents only in town a couple days i just
want to be able to enjoy my time with them days before his death yeah she of course starts a huge
fight all because he didn't respond fast enough while he was in the shower she doesn't let him
go to dinner with his grandparents and starts banging on the doors which he says he doesn't
want to let her in the house because quote kenzie you threatened to break a bunch of shit why would
i let you in i'm only going to break shit if you don't let me in there's more bickering during the
last few days of july until july 31st mckenzie rams her car straight into a building killing dom
and davion i do think that there are moments in these text messages where a lot of egregious
things are said but i think a very interesting takeaway the enlightening takeaway from the
messages has been i think we hear a lot about like oh how do people find themselves in
relationships where one party is so controlling and obsessive and suffocating and it's just it was
it was enlightening to see how it's such slowly progressed so at first like it was this oh i'm
anxious like please i love you i'm anxious and i want to hang out with you and somehow it slowly
morphed into this thing over the span of like two and a half years i don't even know if anyone on
the receiving end would realize until it's too late it's like he she kind of gets him used to her
saying more crazy things and then each time ups the crazy and then he he becomes it almost seems
like he became so attached that he just felt bad all the time and he felt like he was doing
something wrong yeah and every time like she's the way he's so manipulated to the point like
she's like i can't eat yeah he immediately go gets her food what are your thoughts let me know
in the comments i hope this was comprehensive overview i did see lots of people you know using
to comb through the messages trying to pick out messages here and there i just thought this would
be the best way to see the progression what are your thoughts let me know in the comments and i
will see you in the next one
you

Summary:
The second half of Mackenzie Shirilla and Dom Russo’s text messages chronicles a deeply toxic and emotionally volatile relationship that intensifies through 2021 and into 2022. Mackenzie demonstrates a severe lack of emotional regulation, frequently demanding immediate attention, making irrational threats (like stabbing friends or calling the police), and using manipulative tactics such as gaslighting, emotional blackmail, and threats of abandonment. She consistently fails to recognize her own emotional instability, often blaming Dom for her distress while refusing to accept responsibility for her own behavior.
Dom, on the other hand, shows increasing emotional awareness and attempts to establish healthy boundaries, offering care and support while being repeatedly overwhelmed by Mackenzie’s outbursts. The dynamic is marked by a cycle of conflict, with Mackenzie threatening to break up, accuse Dom of infidelity or abuse, and demand constant validation, while Dom expresses growing distress over financial strain, mental health, and emotional neglect. A key turning point occurs when Dom begins openly questioning Mackenzie’s narcissism, citing behaviors like lack of empathy, self-aggrandizing statements, and manipulative control—traits commonly associated with narcissistic abuse.
Despite Dom’s efforts to foster a healthier relationship, Mackenzie remains entrenched in a pattern of emotional volatility and self-centeredness, ultimately undermining any possibility of mutual growth. The texts reveal a relationship where emotional manipulation, control, and mutual exhaustion prevail, raising serious concerns about the long-term impact on both individuals, especially given the timeline that precedes Dom’s tragic death.
