Ever since photos of Dianna Russini alongside Mike Vrabel surfaced online, the former NFL reporter has found herself at the center of widespread attention.
The controversy ultimately resulted in her exit from The Athletic, where she had been employed at the time.
A recent report by The New York Times revealed a wide range of new information, including Russini's six-figure salary at The Athletic.
According to the report, she had a remarkably high salary as a sports reporter before her departure, earning close to $800,000 per year.
The figure was disclosed to The New York Times by a former manager familiar with her contract discussions.
She reportedly had also been negotiating a contract extension with the company, as her existing deal was scheduled to expire at the end of June.
The report further revealed that such compensation placed Russini among the highest-paid journalists within The New York Times Company.
