Dianna Russini Spotted In New York City Amid Massive Scandal
But on Saturday evening, Russini and her husband Kevin Goldschmidt, an executive at Shake Shack, were joined by around 10-15 friends at the Bourbon and Branch Bar, a popular gathering place for fans before shows at Madison Square Garden.
In the witness’s account, Goldschmidt and Russini both appeared to be in good spirits, and their group appeared to be very excitable as they shared drinks and food with people gathered before the show. No indications were made that the couple was experiencing difficulties following the scandal that still sends shockwaves through the NFL:
‘They were having a great time,’ the witness said. ‘They were having a blast with a big group of friends. Lots of food and drinks ordered to their table and they were very carefree given everything that has gone on.
‘Russini and her husband were sat opposite each other. That bar gets busy before shows but she didn’t seem to care if anyone might have recognized her.’

According to Russini, who lives in Springsteen’s state of New Jersey, she has vehemently denied having an affair with Vrabel, who is married as well. In her resignation letter to Athletic, which was owned by the New York Times, she reiterated that she would not let the bombshell pictures define the course of her career.
Vrabel, who is a married father of two, struck a different tone with the media in late April, when he finally gave an interview ahead of the NFL draft:
‘I take accountability for my actions and the actions that caused a distraction to the people that I care most about – my family, this football team, this organization and our fans.’
