Two women who were incarcerated with her — including someone who was in a romantic relationship with McKenzie — are sharing their firsthand accounts.From her lack of remorse, to her prison lifestyle funded by her mother and sugar daddies, to a bombshell claim about what really happened the night of July 31, 2022 — this video covers what the Netflix documentary "The Crash" left out.

Former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax shot and killed his wife, Serena Fairfax, before turning the gun on himself in an Annandale, Virginia home while their two teenage children were inside. In this video, therapist Matthew Phifer breaks down the psychology behind this murder-suicide, why the moment divorce papers were served became the deadly trigger, and what this tragedy reveals about domestic violence in wealthy, high-profile households. This case is a sobering reminder that intimate partner violence doesn't discriminate by income, status, or public image and that the most dangerous time for a domestic violence victim is when she decides to leave. If you or someone you know is currently in an abusive relationship or navigating a dangerous separation, this video covers warning signs of narcissistic abuse, escalation patterns in domestic violence, and how to safely exit a toxic or violent relationship.
