The resurfaced Halloween photos added another layer to the controversy. The Daily Mail reported that Shirilla dressed as a corpse for Halloween, roughly three months after the fatal crash. On July 31, 2022, Mackenzie, who was 17 at the time, crashed a car at 100 mph into the side of a building in Strongsville, Ohio.

The parents of her victims were shocked by the attire she chose. The outlet noted that the images were evidence of what some viewed as a lack of remorse following the deaths of Russo and Flanagan. Flanagan's mother told the outlet, "She thought she was going to get away with it. 'They’re in a hotel room, having fun... there was just no remorse.

Some users accused the filmmakers of failing to notice the messaging before airing the interview. Netizens on X labelled the action “appalling” and “nasty work.” One of the comments read, "They constantly made excuses for her bad behavior, never punished her, always believed her even when she got suspended from school for bullying, & her mom said one of the victims was a "new friend" when the judge called her out on not caring about the victims." “Her parents are tone deaf and stupid,” another comment read.
