National NFL reporter Dianna Russini is now under internal investigation by The Athletic, according to multiple reports.
The news comes after the New York Post's Page Six released photos on April 7 of Russini with New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel at an Arizona resort. Russini's coverage and conduct have been called into question since the photos surfaced.
They showed the pair in bathing suits at a pool and also hugging on a rooftop at the adult-only Ambiente in Sedona, Arizona, two weekends ago. Both Vrabel, 50, and Russini, 43, are married to other people.
The Athletic, which is owned and operated by The New York Times, opted to reopen the internal investigation after the Post's report "raised additional concerns that are now being further reviewed," according to ESPN.
Russini will be sidelined during the investigation, as first reported by Front Office Sports' Ryan Glasspiegel on April 10. Russini's last byline for The Athletic was published on April 7.
