Dianna Russini is returning to sports media.
Russini, the former Athletic and ESPN NFL reporter, will launch a new weekly football show and write a column with her league insights for the Costa Rica-based gambling company BetUS.
Russini's BetUS show will debut Wednesday, marking her first media venture since April, when she resigned from The Athletic after the New York Post published photographs showing her and New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel hugging and holding hands at an adults-only Arizona resort.
The Athletic published a report over the summer that found Russini violated company policy by not disclosing her relationship with Vrabel, but that it had little effect on her coverage.
Russini told People Magazine on Monday that navigating the media firestorm after the photos were first published was difficult but that the NFL community of players and executives was a source of support.
"The absolute best part of this situation has been the loyalty the NFL has shown me," Russini said.
She said players checked on her often and encouraged her to return to covering the league, adding, "They became sort of the people that I was learning from during this."
Her new show, "The Russini Report," will include gambling analysis and weekly game previews, including commentary from NFL experts. Super Bowl champion coach Bill Parcells and sports radio personality Damon Amendolara will be Russini's first guests.
BetUS streams content on its website and on the social media platform X.
Russini will also appear on the podcast of sports media personality Jon Weiner, better known as Stugotz, to deliver NFL analysis.
Before The Athletic, Russini worked as an NFL reporter for ESPN.
