Patriots owner Robert Kraft reportedly got involved in the Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini scandal and it's not a good look
Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The New England Patriots are facing ongoing controversy from the Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini scandal just days before the 2026 NFL Draft, with new reports revealing owner Robert Kraft attempted to suppress the release of incriminating photos.
- According to InTouch, Kraft used his influence and hired a crisis strategist to pressure The Post, the original outlet that broke the story, to kill the report, but these efforts were unsuccessful.
- Dianna Russini reportedly consulted a top crisis communications expert prior to the story’s publication, and she and Vrabel coordinated their responses, indicating a strategic approach to managing the fallout.
- Neither Vrabel nor Russini could provide compelling evidence to support their claims of being at the resort with friends, which has intensified suspicions and damaged their credibility.
- The Post indicated it would retract the story if convincing proof was provided, but the lack of such evidence has kept the allegations in the public eye, further complicating the Patriots’ situation.
