Tyreek Hill under NFL investigation after new domestic violence allegations

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is under investigation by the NFL after new allegations of domestic violence were made against him. The latest come as part of divorce proceedings filed by Keeta Vaccaro, who was married to Hill 17 months ago.

Vaccaro alleges that she was subject to domestic violence on eight occasions during their marriage, including while she was preganant with their young daughter. Vaccaro filed for divorce after police were dispatched to the couple’s apartment in April of 2025, in which an alleged altercation between the couple resulted in Hill throwing a computer on the floor, then grabbing his young daughter, after his wife allegedly made a comment about Hill not being involved enough in their daughter’s life.

These new allegations claim that Hill pushed Vaccaro to the floor over a dispute over a postnuptial agreement, another occasions where she claims Hill pulled out her hair and threw her to the floor, and a 2024 incident in which it’s said Hill threw a marijuana cigarette in Vaccaro’s face, before throwing her out his front door along with her suitcase.

Court filings say Hill’s actions were “outrageous, beyond all bounds of decency, and is regarded as atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community.”

In response Hill’s lawyers say that Vaccaro’s claims are false, and these allegations are part of a smear campaign to extort funds from their client. The Miami Dolphins confirmed that they are launching an internal investigation into the claims, and have spoken to Ms. Vaccaro — with the NFL telling Pro Football Talk that it has begun an investigation as well, which it says is “standard” in response to allegations like this.

It wouldn’t be the first time Hill has faced disciplinary actions over domestic violence. In 2015 Hill plead guilty to domestic violence and battery by strangulation involving his pregnant girlfriend the year prior. Hill was dismissed from Oklahoma State as a result, finishing his college career at West Alabama, before being drafted in the 5th round by the Kansas City Chiefs.

Keeta Vaccaro, sister of former NFL safety Kenny, is seeking an “unreasonable amount of money” in damage, according to a statement written by Hill’s lawyers to the court.
