Tyreek Hill and Keeta Vaccaro's divorce proceedings have taken a new turn as the footballer’s ex-wife accused him of being violent with her on different occasions. According to documents obtained by TMZ, Vaccaro alleges that her former husband had abused her during their short seventeen months of marriage.

She revealed that Tyreek Hill started to get violent with her just two months after they tied the knot in Austin, Texas. Vaccaro shared eight different instances where Hill allegedly abused her physically. According to TMZ, in late January 2024, Keeta claimed that Tyreek 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.”

Vaccaro claimed that the footballer also assaulted her when she was pregnant, spat on her, and, at one point, threw her out of a hotel they were both staying at. As per TMZ, Hill, in addition to reportedly shoving a "marijuana cigarette" on Vaccaro's face,

“[...]told her to get her suitcase and get out of the house. [Hill] then threw [her] suitcase out the door and threw [her] out the door, locking it behind her.”

Tyreek Hill denies Keeta Vaccaro’s allegations

Shortly after Keeta made those violent accusations, Tyreek denied them, with his attorney describing them as false and “nothing more than an attempt by Ms. Vaccaro, her mother, and/or her counsel to shake Mr. Hill down.”

Tyreek Hill's lawyer, Julius B. Collins, in an exclusive statement to TMZ, claimed that Keeta’s greed made her cook up these allegations. He described her actions as “malicious, disgraceful, and scandalous.”

The document elaborates,

“The accusations that Mr. Hill has been physically violent, threatening to or abusive in any manner towards Ms. Vaccaro are also false. It wasn’t until their greed was rejected by the Honorable Court that the pair had to pivot to this malicious, disgraceful, and scandalous action. This is an interesting position that Ms. Vaccaro and her counsel has taken considering that Ms. Vaccaro continues to try to be alone with Mr. Hill, continues to make sexual advances towards Mr. Hill, and has requested to be alone with Mr. Hill during Mr. Hill’s parenting time with their minor child. Certainly, if Ms. Vaccaro and her counsel believed their own fabrications against Mr. Hill, Ms. Vaccaro and her counsel would not insist upon Ms. Vaccaro spending alone time with Mr. Hill.”

Julius added that the violent allegations are nothing more than a smear campaign against his client, who has refused to compensate Vaccaro with more money.

“These new allegations are further proof that Ms. Vaccaro and/or her counsel are set on partaking in a smear campaign in hopes that Mr. Hill will settle and give her and her counsel an unreasonable and unwarranted amount of money. Mr. Hill will not be moved by this and awaits his day in Court to present his evidence.”

Tyreek Hill’s attorney concluded the statement with a promise to follow the Court's orders and defend against damages.

“The decision to fabricate allegations against Mr. Hill in an effort to extort Mr. Hill will not be taken lightly and will be defended against at the appropriate time. Mr. Hill will continue to respect the Honorable Court and follow the Court’s rulings.”

Tyreek Hill, who plays for the Miami Dolphins, recently faced defeat against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
