Dianna Russini’s Massive Salary Ahead of Resignation Revealed Amid Mike Vrabel Scandal
The Times said Russini earned close to $800,000 a year and said photos and a traffic-stop episode raised ethics questions about her reporting.
- The New York Times published an exposé Wednesday detailing the scandal involving former NFL insider Dianna Russini and New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, revealing the New York Post contacted Russini two days before releasing initial photos on Easter Sunday.
- Photos of Russini and Vrabel at the Ambiente resort in Sedona, Arizona surfaced in April, showing the two embracing and in a hot tub; both denied wrongdoing, with Vrabel calling the images 'completely innocent interaction' and Russini citing a larger group present.
- Russini resigned from The Athletic one week after the photos emerged, stating she would not submit to a 'public inquiry that has already caused far more damage than I am willing to accept'; The Athletic investigated her reporting, citing her $800,000 salary and prior conduct.
- Vrabel acknowledged 'difficult conversations' with his family and committed to seeking counseling starting that weekend, stepping away from Day 3 of the NFL Draft as the Patriots stated they fully supported his decision to prioritize his well-being.
- The Athletic's investigation into Russini's reporting remains ongoing with focus limited to her journalism rather than personal conduct. NFL insider Mike Florio speculated on June 22 that a high-profile interview during Week 1 of the Patriots-Seahawks game could disrupt the season.
