Megyn Kelly and Matt Taibbi Criticize People Magazine's Interview with Dianna Russini
Megyn Kelly, joined by journalist Matt Taibbi, has publicly criticized People magazine for what she described as a 'puff piece' interview with Dianna Russini. The interview focused on Russini's return to sports media following her resignation from The Athletic due to an internal investigation into her relationship with New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. The Athletic's investigation concluded that Russini's relationship with Vrabel violated its standards. Kelly and Taibbi argue that the People magazine article presented a 'poisonous spin' by not holding Russini accountable for her actions and portraying her as a victim. Taibbi specifically noted the article's lack of introspection, while Kelly questioned why basic journalistic inquiries about the allegations were omitted from the interview. Russini's new show, 'The Russini Report,' is set to debut on BetUS, and she stated in the People interview that 'the lies became so out of control' regarding the scandal.
