TMZ Releases Photo of Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini at Mississippi Casino
A witness at the scene assumed the woman was Vrabel's wife, based on their body language, not realizing until later that it was Russini.
After initially declining to publish related photos, TMZ has released an image of New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and reporter Dianna Russini at a Mississippi casino in January 2024. The encounter took place weeks after Vrabel was fired by the Tennessee Titans.
The photo shows the pair at a table. A witness told TMZ that they recognized Vrabel and assumed the woman was his wife based on their body language, not realizing until later that it was Russini.
The witness did not observe any public displays of affection, but noted the two appeared comfortable, drinking and chatting. The witness added that Russini followed Vrabel to a blackjack table and sat across from him.
The publication of the photo illustrates ongoing media interest in the story, now 16 days old, which may result in further photos being shared.
