New York Times Employees Are Not Happy About Internal Probe Into Dianna Russini-Mike Vrabel Scandal

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

The investigation into the scandal involving Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini is not yet complete. That has become a huge problem.

In the wake of Russini’s departure from The Athletic, an investigation had already begun when pictures surfaced of her and Vrabel. In April, the publication had an internal discussion with staff.

Despite previously defending Russini, The Athletic executive editor Steven Ginsberg switched things up. As for how the investigation would play out, Ginsberg told staff that New York Times standards editor Mike Semel is conducting the investigation.

He reportedly said it would be a lengthy one. Ginsberg certainly wasn’t lying.

There is Unrest at the New York Times Over The Investigation into Dianna Russini

According to a new report, unrest is growing at the New York Times, with an investigation into Dianna Russini’s relationship with New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel still ‘weeks away’ from publication.

Athletic staffers are frustrated that the probe is dragging, as per Page Six. Ginsberg was quoted as telling staff last week: ‘It’s going to take a few more weeks.

‘There’s just a lot to go through, and we obviously want to take our time and be careful doing that.

‘We will update everybody when we get to the end of that. We’ve also said that if we find anything that needs to be corrected, we will correct it along the way.’

The Patriots are trying their best to get past this situation, but with the investigation still being weeks away, it means more headlines weeks from now. Russini had been with The Athletic since 2023, but there is evidence to suggest she was close to Vrabel as far back as 2020, if not further.

As for Dianna Russini, she quit her job and doesn’t have to deal with questions from anybody except her husband.
