The fallout from the scandal was immense for her, as she was let go from her role. Many questioned her professionalism and the work she had done up to that point. However, despite it seeming like no one was in her corner, a recent interview with Russini revealed that she had her supporters, even within the league.
Dianna Russini shares the support she received from coaches, executives, and players within the NFL
Ahead of the launch of her new show on BetUS TV’s website called ‘The Russini Report’, the journalist recently had an exclusive interview with People magazine. In it, she spoke candidly about the scandal, the impact it had on her, and what she learned about herself and her career in the aftermath.
One of the interesting aspects of her story was the revelation that she has received quite a bit of support from the people who matter most, players and coaches within the league itself.

“The absolute best part of this situation has been the loyalty the NFL has shown me,” the article quoted Russini as saying. “They checked in with me almost daily while I wasn’t working to make sure that I was staying connected to football, to check on me as a person and to just see how I was doing.”
“I felt like players were texting and calling me to say, ‘Get back to work, it’s time’. I think it’s pretty poetic that here I was all these years telling the story about these players going through adversity, and then they became sort of the people that I was learning from during this.”
The article goes on to reveal, “According to Russini, one player even texts her on his way to work at 5 a.m. to ask what she’s doing to better herself and reminds her ‘that you have to stay strong through hard times.'”
Whatever the situation may have been between Russini and Vrabel, it seems that she has come out of the other side stronger. And if she has this kind of support from within the NFL, it bodes well for the rest of her career despite the major setback.
