Jessica McCloughan, the wife of Washington Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan, apologized Wednesday for sending disparaging remarks on Twitter to ESPN reporter Dianna Russini.
The tweets, which were taken down when blacksportsonline.com initially posted them, were sent from her private account to Russini. They lewdly questioned a specific story Russini had broken, one which wasn’t immediately apparent but, judging by Russini’s Twitter timeline, was likely about the Redskins quarterbacking controversy between Kirk Cousins and Robert Griffin III.
Early Wednesday, the Redskins gave a standard “I said something stupid on Twitter” defense that the account was a fake.
