Russini, who is married, largely stayed in the shadows as the fallout played out, opting against commenting publicly on the scandal throughout the offseason and start of the regular season.
That was a marked departure from Vrabel’s actions. The New England boss, who is also married, addressed reporters on multiple occasions, revealing in April that he was planning to go to counseling.
Russini has been biding her time on the proverbial sidelines for the past few months. On Monday, she provided sports fans with an answer to the question of whether she was planning to attempt to resurrect her journalistic career.
Here’s what you need to know.

Dianna Russini finally answers the question football fans are asking
BetUS Casino & Sportsbook announced that Russini would be joining the platform as a contributor on Monday. The betting company unveiled “The Russini Report”, a program dedicating to covering the NFL. Its first episode will drop on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
“Football has always been my favorite sport to cover, and I’ve really missed being in the middle of the action, breaking stories and connecting fans to what’s happening across the league,” Russini said in a statement. “I’m excited to get back to reporting on the NFL and bring that passion to BetUS.

“I want to give fans more than just the headlines, sharing insider perspectives, uncovering the stories behind the biggest moments, and helping audiences better understand the teams, players, and matchups that shape each week.”
Russini resigned from The Athletic in April amid the publication’s investigation into Russini’s alleged relationship with Vrabel. Russini has maintained that she did nothing wrong. The Athletic’s investigation found that her bond with the Patriots head coach amounted to a “clear violation” of the outlet’s standards.
“Regardless of whether the relationship was romantic, it was a breach and should have been disclosed,” The Athletic said in its report.
