T.J. Houshmandzadeh offers wild speculation on Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini scandal
Credit: Speakeasy Something was going on between Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini, but T. J. Houshmandzadeh believes it was bigger than an affair.
It’s been exactly one month since Page Six published photos of Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini embracing each other at an adults-only hotel in Arizona. And while their initial reaction to the photos was an attempt at denying any implication of a romantic relationship, the story has since gained more layers than Stephen A. Smith’s infamous American cheese lasagna .
Vrabel is now undergoing occasional counseling and has admitted to having “ difficult ” conversations with his family, while Russini has since resigned from The Athletic amid an internal investigation into the relationship. More pictures of Vrabel and Russini spending time together and having secret meetings have been released, dating as far back as six years. And every time we think this story might be dying down, a new headline is published, leading Houshmandzadeh to believe that more layers will be revealed.
