Dianna Russini has officially resigned from The Athletic, exactly one week after Page Six published photos of her at a Sedona resort with New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. In this video: AP broke the resignation tonight, full letter sent to Athletic Executive Editor Steven Ginsberg. Russini stepped aside before her contract was even up on June 30. Her own words: I refuse to lend it further oxygen or to let it define me or my career. Awful Announcing reported staffers INSIDE The Athletic called the company initial defense reckless, premature, and intentionally sneaky. Mike Vrabel has been silent since calling the photos laughable and skipped his own pre draft press conference Monday. The asymmetry: she lost everything, he is preparing for the NFL Draft. Russini broke the Aaron Rodgers trade saga. She broke Sean Payton return to the NFL. She was the highest paid writer at The Athletic. And in seven days, it was all gone. Fair ending or pushed out before she could fight back? Drop your verdict in the comments and SUBSCRIBE because this story is not over until Mike Vrabel finally talks.
