Four days after TMZ publicized eight alleged incidents of domestic violence committed by Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, he said his focus was on football when questioned by reporters about the allegations for the first time Friday.
Hill and his wife, Keeta Vaccaro, are in the middle of a divorce, which spawned the legal documents that serve as the source of Vaccaro’s accusations. Hill and Vaccaro married in November 2023, but reportedly split in April 2025. They have a nine-month-old daughter, Capri.
“My focus right now is just playing ball and spending time with my kids and just doing what I’m best at — providing for my family,” Hill told reporters. “So all the noise, I feel like if you allow that kind of stuff to get in the way of what you’re trying to do, it can only cloud what you’re really trying to get accomplished.”
Meanwhile, Hill’s attorney, Julius B. Collins, responded to TMZ on Monday and declared Vaccaro’s allegations to be a “smear campaign” and “an attempt … to shake Mr. Hill down.”
Vaccaro’s filing claims that Hill’s first incident of domestic violence occurred in January 2024, just two months after their wedding. Hill has a history of being accused of domestic assault. While playing for Oklahoma State in 2014, Hill was charged with felony domestic assault and battery by strangulation. The school booted Hill from its football and track squads when he was charged.
The NFL did not invite Hill to its combine despite his world-class speed. The Kansas City Chiefs used a fifth-round pick on Hill in the 2016 draft and he earned All-Pro honors his rookie year. He returned two punts and one kick for touchdowns, along with six receiving scores and three rushing scores.
A five-time All-Pro now in his 10th season, Hill opened the 2025 campaign with four catches for 40 yards in the Dolphins’ 33-8 road loss to the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday.
