Mike Vrabel, Dianna Russini photos from 2024 add fuel to new tweet: “Right after he got fired…”

One witness said they initially thought Russini was Vrabel’s wife because the two looked comfortable. The pair were seen drinking, chatting with other patrons and walking between tables. When Vrabel left the roulette table to play blackjack, Russini followed suit, although she reportedly sat across from him.

The two allegedly stayed inside the casino for at least half an hour before leaving.

This latest detail adds to the expanding timeline of reported interactions between the two. PageSix posted a series of photos, first of their outing at a resort in Arizona this year, and then of the two allegedly kissing at a New York City bar in 2021.

Meanwhile, Russini resigned from his position at The Athletic and has largely stayed out of the public eye since.

“As I said the other day, I promise my family, this organization and this team that I’m going to do everything I can to show them the best version of me,” he said. “In order to do that, I have committed to seeking counseling from this weekend. It is something that I have considered very carefully and something I would advise players to do if I were counseling them.”

“I’ve always wanted to lead by example and I believe that’s what I have to do in order to be the best husband, father and coach I can be,” Vrabel continued. “This is not an easy thing for me to admit, but I know it will make me a better person. I appreciate the support everyone has given me and promise to be even stronger because of it.”

Interestingly, Vrabel, whose name is also Michael, had a long career as an NFL player before becoming a head coach.

“We are confident in the leadership and communication Mike has established with our personnel staff during the pre-draft process. While he will not be at the facility on Saturday, we know the draft evaluation has been completed and Elliott Wolfe and his personnel staff are ready to execute our draft as planned this weekend.”
