Robert Kraft Reportedly 'Tried To Kill Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini Story

Robert Kraft Reportedly 'Tried To Kill Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini Story originally appeared on NESN . Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The New York Post published a bombshell report on Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini earlier this month, but not before Robert Kraft tried to stop them.

The outlet released exclusive photos of Vrabel and Russini, both of whom are married, together at a luxurious resort in Sedona, Ariz. Both parties claimed they were at the resort with friend groups , but neither has publicly shared any evidence, and Russini's inability to do so led to her recent resignation from The Athletic. That brings us to Sunday, when In Touch reported that Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots , stepped in before the Post ran with the story.

“Robert Kraft intervened and had his honchos pressure The Post before they published and tried to kill the story, a source exclusively tells In Touch," Kayla Aldecoa of In Touch wrote. “The Post gave Vrabel a longer time to respond than what is considered industry norms, and Kraft took advantage of that extended timeframe to put pressure on the reporter and the newspaper. A notorious crisis strategist made the call but was unsuccessful in neutering the story.

” In Touch obviously isn't the most prestigious news outlet, so this report should be taken with a grain of salt. But the story has gained traction online, including being shared by Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk . While the details of Vrabel and Russini's hangout in Arizona remain a mystery, what's clear is that this story has legs and will continue to generate speculation -- regardless of Kraft's best efforts to kill it.
