Make New York Post a Preferred Source Dianna Russini is reportedly trying to take her media return to the next level.
She is expected to seek a spot at Radio Row during Super Bowl week in Los Angeles, Front Office Sports reported on Friday.
Russini, who resigned from her role as an NFL insider with The Athletic in April after Page Six published intimate photos of her and Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel holding hands at an Arizona resort in March, recently returned to the public eye with a show titled “The Russini Report” with offshore sportsbook BetUS.
But her Radio Row credential request could be complicated due to BetUS not being a legally regulated sportsbook in the United States and the NFL usually not recognizing such outlets.
Instead, Russini plans to apply for the credential with her affiliation with iHeartMedia, according to Front Office Sports, as she plans to host a podcast with Jon “Stugotz” Weiner on the platform.
Page Six published multiple photos of Russini and Vrabel holding hands and allegedly kissing at different periods of time, prompting Russini to step down amid an investigation from The Athletic and Vrabel to take a brief leave of absence to undergo counseling.
Russini, 43, had largely stayed quiet until her media return last week, when she debuted her new show and joked about the memes her scandal produced.
She did not spend much time discussing her relationship with Vrabel, however.
She spoke about the scandal in a story with People, however.
“The best way to describe what the last six months were like for me is heartbreaking,” Russini said. “At the beginning of this, it was a nightmare.
“The lies became so out of control. This was a runaway train, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Once we realized nothing was going to stop this, it became unhealthy for us to read it because it wasn’t helping us heal. It was piling on and adding to what we were already dealing with.”
Russini never explained what she says were lies, however.
