Allegations Against Tyreek Hill
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill’s estranged wife, Lakeeta Vaccaro, has made serious accusations against him, alleging instances of domestic violence, including pulling her hair and throwing her to the ground. These claims surfaced in a newly unsealed document related to their divorce, which has prompted an NFL review initiated in September.
Document Unsealed
Although the filing occurred in September, the document became public only recently, following requests from six news outlets to unseal the court records. Prior reports by TMZ highlighted the document’s contents, but they were not accessible to the public at that time.
Details of the Filing
The document, which amends Vaccaro’s divorce petition from April, claims that Hill pressured her into signing a postnuptial agreement and became “increasingly aggressive, violent, and demanding” regarding the matter. Evan Marks, Vaccaro’s attorney, stated that the sealing of the document was unwarranted and that the court’s decision to unseal was in line with Florida law.
Reactions from Legal Representatives
While attorneys for both parties did not respond to immediate inquiries, a letter from Hill’s attorney, Seth Schneiderman, described the allegations as “demonstrably false” and suggested that they misrepresented past events. This letter was released simultaneously with the unsealed document.
Specific Allegations
The unsealed document outlines multiple violent incidents attributed to Hill over 2024 and 2025, including spitting in Vaccaro’s face, attempting to forcibly take her wedding ring, and physical assaults. One incident described Hill ripping a necklace from Vaccaro’s neck, resulting in a cut and bruise. Another account stated he threw her phone at her and tried to punch her in the stomach while she was pregnant.
Previous Legal Issues
This new filing corresponds with an earlier police report from April regarding a domestic disturbance, which did not lead to charges against Hill. The report indicated that Vaccaro’s mother witnessed Hill’s aggressive behavior, although both parties denied any physical escalation during the argument.
Ongoing NFL Review
The NFL initiated a review into these allegations in September, although the current status of the investigation remains unclear. Tyreek Hill is currently sidelined for the season due to a knee injury sustained in a game against the New York Jets. Hill has a history of legal troubles, including past convictions for domestic assault and other allegations that have surfaced over the years.
