Dianna Russini’s close friend, Stugotz, shares that she and Mike Vrabel might be ‘just friends’ amid the scandal
Recently, on his podcast, Big Stuey, Stugotz shared his take on the scandal involving Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel. He claimed that the duo might be just friends. Stugotz mentioned that when he first saw the cosy pictures of Dianna and Mike, he was surprised. Stugotz highlighted that although he knew about the duo’s close relationship, he was clueless about the depth of their bond. He added that, as Dianna has not said anything about it, he has no idea. Stugotz was quoted as saying:
“I was surprised when I saw the pictures, and this is coming from someone who knows she’s had a close relationship — I didn’t know it was this kind of close — but has a close relationship with Mike Vrabel and has been friendly with him for years. And that might be all that it is. I have no idea. Again, she hasn’t told me.”
