Former Athletic reporter Dianna Russini, 43, is facing renewed scrutiny after an old video resurfaced showing her bashing her husband in front of rumored flame, NFL coach Mike Vrabel. The clip, which has been circulating online following leaked vacation photos of Russini and Vrabel cozied up, shows the pair participating in a virtual Family Feud-style game with Barstool Sports personalities. Asked to name “something you close your eyes to do,” Russini stunned the group by answering: “When you have sex with your husband or wife.” The remark drew awkward reactions and laughter—including from Vrabel, 50, who appeared to pause and shake his head on camera. Dave Portnoy reacted to the resurfaced clip on X, writing: “What the f--- is this clip!!! I disavow! There is no way this can be real. Can we just play some football!” The footage has also drawn renewed attention to a separate 2021 appearance on ESPN’s Get Up, where Russini joked that she was “married to someone average” while discussing her husband of five years, Kevin Goldschmidt, before laughing that she was “on national TV killing him.” Vrabel has taken time out from the New England Patriots to focus on his marriage to Jen Vrabel, whom he has been married to since 1999, while Russini was fired from her job at The Athletic after the pair’s rumored affair was exposed.
