NFL to review Tyreek Hill’s deposition as league probes wife’s abuse claims
The NFL will be reviewing parts of Tyreek Hill’s deposition in his divorce case as the league probes the star wide receiver for alleged domestic violence during his marriage, including accusations that he tried to punch his wife’s stomach while she was pregnant.
In court on Wednesday afternoon, attorneys for Hill and his wife, Keeta Vaccaro, told Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Spencer Multack that they had reached an agreement on providing Hill’s deposition transcript to league officials. The attorneys said the deposition will be handed to the NFL with some portions redacted.
In August, Multack issued an order to shield evidence in the case from being made public. The deposition may not be released publicly, and its use would be “limited strictly” to the NFL investigation, according to court documents.
A month later, Vaccaro, 29, filed an amended divorce petition, alleging eight incidents, including that Hill shoved her to the floor, ripped her hair out and tried to punch her stomach while she was pregnant. The couple was married for a year-and-half at the time of the divorce filing in April 2025. They had their daughter in November 2024.
The trial for the divorce — and domestic-violence claims — is expected to start in June, Multack noted in an order filed in January.

Vaccaro went to court in December asking for Hill’s deposition to be released to the NFL before her scheduled interview with league officials. The NFL is investigating Hill, 31, for possibly violating the league’s personal conduct policy, according to court records.
The December filing marks the first time details about the NFL investigation have been publicly discussed. The NFL generally does not disclose which players are being investigated. From the document, it appears Vaccaro is cooperating with the probe.

The couple’s contentious divorce proceedings have painted an unflattering picture of Hill, who has faced previous allegations of violence toward women dating back to his days at Oklahoma State University.
In recent weeks, the judge admonished Vaccaro for purchasing a $196,000 Bentley as she asked the NFL star for almost $40,000 a month in temporary support and more than $325,000 in child support, according to Us Weekly.

Hill is recovering from a major knee injury, and a suspension would also likely affect his market value if the Dolphins release him.
Hill, who sustained a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 against the Jets, made $27.7 million this season. He’s due to make $29.9 million next season, but none of that money is guaranteed and the Dolphins aren’t expected to retain him on that contract.
