Dianna Russini has an open offer to work at Barstool Sports whenever she decides to resume her career.

Two months ago, Russini found herself at the center of controversy when she was busted having an affair with New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.

Russini went on to lose her $ 800k-a-year job and has since gone into hiding due to the intense media frenzy the affair caused.

Despite being shunned in public, Portnoy told US Weekly that he would immediately hire Russini if she wanted to work at Barstool.

“No-brainer, if she wanted to work here, we’d do it,” Portnoy said.

“An affair is not like a murder. It’s bad, but I’m not in the family. She’ll land somewhere, and you know, if people who have affairs are never allowed to work again in this country, you’re gonna lose a significant amount of the workforce,” Portnoy said. “It is obviously really sad, but at the same time, that’s not like a capital offense that should end somebody’s professional career.”

As for Russini, it’s currently unclear what the future holds for her.

After resigning, she has led a quiet life, and has been spotted a few times with her husband.

The Athletic is still investigating Russini’s workplace conduct, and there’s no word on what they will release their report.
