NFL releases statement on alarming new domestic assault allegations from Tyreek Hill's ex-wife

The NFL has broken its silence on the domestic assault allegations against Tyreek Hill from his former wife. Brian McCarthy, the NFL’s vice president of communications, issued a statement on the situation that came to light this week.

“It’s standard policy for the league to review a matter such as this,” McCarthy said, per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Keeta Vaccaro, the estranged wife of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, is alleging she has been assaulted by the Super Bowl champion during their marriage. According to TMZ Sports, Vaccaro made the allegations in a new court filing in her divorce case. She claimed that Hill began to get violent with her in January 2024, two months after they tied the knot in Austin, Texas.

Keeta Vaccaro said Tyreek Hill went off on her when the two were at their guest house in Southwest Ranches, Florida. She claimed that the NFL superstar shoved her to the floor, stood over her and ripped off her necklace.

Vaccaro said that there were eight instances of domestic violence, including one where she said Hill spat on her. She also claimed that he got physical with her while she was pregnant.

Tyreek Hill struggled in Dolphins’ season opener

Hill and Vaccaro dated for several years before getting married in 2023. They officially separated in April of this year after having a domestic dispute at their home in Miami.

This comes as Hill began his fourth season with the Dolphins on Sunday and his 10th season in the NFL. In the season opener, Hill caught four passes for 40 yards in the Dolphins’ 33-8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Hill is looking to have a big 2025 season after taking a step back in 2024. In 17 games last year, Hill caught 81 passes for 959 yards and six touchdowns. His reception and yards total were the lowest in his career since 2019, when he caught 58 passes for 860 yards in 12 games with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hill and the Dolphins will look to get back on track this Sunday when they take on the New England Patriots. Dating back to last season, Miami has lost three of its last five games.
