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, per TMZ.
The original divorce petition was dated April 8, 2025.
In the court documents, her attorneys detailed several incidents, including a fight that ensued during a discussion about a postnuptial agreement that she said resulted in her being thrown to the floor.
Later in that same month, in January 2004, Vaccaro’s attorneys wrote 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, 31, led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards in 2023. But last season was largely a disappointment for Hill, who said his competitive nature got the best of him when the Dolphins shuffled quarterbacks and failed to put a scare — or much of a fight at all — into defenses the way Miami did when Tua Tagovailoa was healthy.
Also fighting through a wrist injury he said was a factor part of the year, Hill ended the season furious and shared a few words he indicated he might like to have back. As a playoff observer, Hill demanded a trade and wondered on multiple occasions and with peak energy whether another team would be better for him.
In July, Hill said he spent the offseason contemplating what he needed to do to improve his contribution to the team.
“I’ve always been a competitor, dog,” Hill said. “In those moments like that, I need to be better as a leader. There’s a ton of little kids that look up to me as a player, as a role model.”
In the season opener on Sunday, a 33-8 win against the Indianapolis Colts, Hill caught four passes for 40 yards.
A five-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowl selection, Hill has 802 receptions for 11,138 yards and 82 TDs in 142 career games with the Kansas City Chiefs (2016-21) and Dolphins.
