titanruss Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 (edited) 4 hours ago, Jamalisms said: Were they alone together or in a group / distinct groups? The initial reports are that the roof top photos are from 2 person suites, the resort is a couples resort, and only those 2 person suites have roof access. they could absolutely be misrepresented, they could absolutely have met with friends - especially for the pool and sunbathing photos. But the resort type, and the roof shots are a little damning. find the original article/reports. the people watching were adamant to say no one was there but them. these also seem to be almost PI shots like you'd get to help with a divorce. Like someone was there with the intention of photographing them. Appears to have a large lens on the camera too.

Jamalisms Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 11 minutes ago, OILERMAN said: Exactly like the Coldplay couple! The Coldplay couple were embracing at a concert, one behind the other, not face to face in greeting. The Coldplay couple also had the guiltiest of reactions and it was pretty obvious. And Dianna Russini is neither the HR director nor the CEO with power to make a statement on behalf of the company. It's a slick comparison to make but not overly accurate. The Athletic would look exceedingly stupid if more were to come out on this. That would take a personal scandal and turn it into something of a corporate one.

titanruss Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 I think the morals of the business world and journalistic integrity are so far stretched now that she cold be eating his ass in public and nothing will happen to either of them. She makes too much money for the athletic who is in desperate need of cash and big name reporters. She gets them scoops. They dont care how. This has been a rumor for a while with her. As far as Vrabel.. coaches banging reporters started happening as soon as women sports reporters appeared. Not all women need this to get ahead /keep up... but it's happened aplenty and will continue to happen forever. Number9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is somebody professional taking photos of celebrities and selling to the equivalent of TMZ. It happens all the time. More always comes out on this stuff when it's real. Jen will file for divorce or there will be rumors of turmoil. Ben Affleck went somewhere with Brady or whatever as cover (don't recall exact enough details) and that got out. If the "we were in different groups" is just cover, we'll hear more and I'll be happy to shit all over The Athletic and Mike Vrabel when it happens ... Russini as well but I don't care about her, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scine09 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 13 minutes ago, Jamalisms said: That would be an exceedingly stupid lie to tell if it's so easily disproven by spouses and employers. The Athletic has already come out in support of them (Dianna), saying the interactions were public and in front of many people and the photos are misleading and lack context. It would be pretty stupid on their part to so quickly and easily accept her explanation without having any corroboration. As I said, I've long harbored my own suspicions of that relationship but I'm inclined to wait for something more than closely cropped photos of them greeting each other outside and sitting within a few feet of each other in a (public?) pool before I accept Page Six implying quite so much from "we talked to a few people and they claim not to have seen anyone else". You can't be that naive, can you? DecepticonShawn2, IowaOiler, and OILERMAN 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that feels good to say but the point remains that corporations don't tend to blindly support like this, especially reporters, and if they've backed themselves into a lie as obvious as people here suggest then spouses will find out and we'll hear more. When we do, I'll shit on them. DecepticonShawn2, and oldschool 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it’s a resort for couples and romantic getaways. It’s the post but they claim they’d didn’t see either of those two around other people and they were mainly seen alone.

Popular Post scine09 Posted April 8 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 8 (edited) They just happened to run into each other at a random hotel two hours away from where they were. Not only a random hotel, but an upscale hotel meant for adults only. And no one actually saw them with anyone but the other person. There’s this bridge in Brooklyn. I would like to to sell it to you.

oldschool Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 3 hours ago, Mythos27 said: Dang. This story will set women in sports reporting back a good bit. I liked Russini but I agree with @OILERMAN that this should cost her her career. You simply can't be seen as an objective, reliable source with that track record. I definitely feel for the spouses to be betrayed in such a public way. Absolutely reprehensible behavior from two grown adults that should know better. Says a lot about Vrabel's character too. So who's spouse hired the private investigator? Those pics weren't taken from a smart phone.

My money is on Russini's husband hiring the PI. Dont forget she shit all over him on a podcast a few years ago. Even if Vrabel isnt banging her, she has crossed a line by clearly vacationing with someone she covers professionally. She has set women in sports media back decades no matter what. I promise you the athletic is looking at every conceivable way to cut ties with her without looking like they are being sexist.
