The estranged wife of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill alleges in court filings that she has been the victim of multiple acts of domestic violence, TMZ reported.
The two are in the process of divorcing, and in paperwork Keeta Vaccaro filed on Monday in connection to the case, she said she was the target of eight instances of abuse since they married in late 2023. The original divorce petition was dated 8 April 2025.
In the court documents, her attorneys detailed several incidents, including a fight that ensued during a discussion about a postnuptial agreement. She said the incident resulted in Hill throwing her to the floor.
Later in that same month, January 2024, Vaccaro’s attorneys allege that in another fight, Hill “violently attacked her, throwing her to the floor, twisting her intimate body parts, ripping her hair out and grabbing anything on her person he could get a hold of,” TMZ reported, citing the documents. Some of the other incidents occurred when she was pregnant, Vaccaro said.
In a comment to TMZ, Hill’s attorney said the court filing is an attempt by Vaccaro, her mother and legal representation to get more money from Hill.
“These new allegations are further proof that Ms Vacarro and/or her counsel are set on partaking in a smear campaign in hopes that Mr Hill will settle and give she and her counsel an unreasonable and unwarranted amount of money,” attorney Julius B. Collins said. “Mr Hill will not be moved by this and awaits his day in Court to present his evidence.”
The Dolphins had not made a comment as of Tuesday morning. Hill is not facing criminal charges over the allegations.
Hill, 31, led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards in 2023. But the five-time All Pro asked for a trade after a disappointing season in 2024.
At the start of last season, he was involved in a confrontation with police during a traffic stop. In 2023, Hill was under police investigation for assault and battery after it was reported that he got into an argument with a marina worker, which apparently ended with Hill hitting the worker. Hill and the man later resolved their dispute.
