Dianna Russini deleted her X account as drama escalated surrounding photos of herself with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.
The former Athletic reporter’s content was no longer visible on the platform as of Thursday evening, Page Six can confirm.
The sports journalist previously posted her resignation letter to the platform after Page Six published photos of her spending time with Vrabel in March at a luxury resort in Arizona.
Russini and Vrabel were also seen in photos from March 2020, which were published by Page Six on Thursday, chatting at a New York City bar and even apparently kissing each other.
“They were kissing and they were all over each other,” an eyewitness told Page Six. “He had a ring on.”
The sports journalist initially claimed the more recent resort photos were taken out of context and that she and Vrabel, with whom she was snapped holding hands, were joined by several other pals at the luxury Sedona getaway.
Multiple sources told Page Six, however, that wasn’t the case.
“Like most journalists in the NFL, reporters interact with sources away from stadiums and other venues,” she told us.
Vrabel, meanwhile, told Page Six earlier this month that the Arizona photos “show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable. This doesn’t deserve any further response.”
Following the publication of the 2020 snapshots on Thursday, Vrabel, who recently divulged he’s seeking counseling, spoke to reporters at a press conference held during the NFL draft.
