NFL Launches Investigation Into Tyreek Hill After Explosive Domestic Violence Allegations
Here we go again. The NFL has officially launched an investigation into Miami Dolphins superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill following some pretty disturbing domestic violence allegations from his estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro. Apparently, one controversy wasn’t enough for the speedy wideout who’s already dealing with a miserable start to the season.
What Are the Specific Allegations Against Tyreek?
 Court documents obtained by TMZ paint a picture of eight separate incidents of domestic violence that allegedly occurred during Hill and Vaccaro’s 17-month marriage. We’re talking about some serious stuff here, folks. According to the filing, the first incident supposedly happened in January 2024.
This comes just two months after they tied the knot in Austin, Texas. Vaccaro claims Hill shoved her to the floor at their Southwest Ranches, Florida home, stood over her, and ripped off her necklace during an argument about a postnuptial agreement. Real classy stuff. But it gets worse.
Two weeks later, while staying at an Orlando hotel, Vaccaro alleges Hill “violently attacked her” during what she described as a fit of rage. The documents also include claims that Hill spat on her during one of these alleged outbursts and even got physical with her while she was pregnant.
Hill’s Legal Team Fires Back
Hill’s attorney, Julius B. Collins, isn’t having any of this. He’s calling the whole thing a “smear campaign” designed to shake down his client for money. In a statement that reads like it was written by someone who’s dealt with these situations before, Collins said:
“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.” It’s worth noting that Hill hasn’t been criminally charged in this matter. Yet.
The Timing Couldn’t Be Worse for Miami
As if the Dolphins needed another headache right now. They’re coming off a brutal season-opening loss where their offense looked about as coordinated as a middle school dance. Hill managed just four catches for 40 yards against the Colts – numbers that would make a backup tight end blush. Coach Mike McDaniel tried to keep things diplomatic when asked about the situation Wednesday, telling reporters: “
We’ve been in communication with the NFL and will let the process play out.” That’s coach-speak for “I really don’t want to talk about this right now.”
What This Means for Tyreek’s Availability
The million-dollar question is whether this investigation will impact Hill’s availability for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. The NFL hasn’t indicated whether it’ll place him on the commissioner’s exempt list. At the same time, they conduct their investigation, but given the serious nature of these allegations, don’t be surprised if that shoe drops soon. After all, with Tyreek’s history, it’s not an if, but a when at this point.
What Happens Next For Tyreek?
The NFL’s investigation will likely take several weeks, if not months, to complete. They’ll interview both parties, review evidence, and consult with law enforcement. During this time, Tyreek will probably continue playing unless the league decides to place him on the exempt list.
For now, Hill remains on the field and is preparing for Sunday’s game against New England. But don’t expect this story to go away anytime soon. The NFL takes domestic violence allegations seriously these days, and with Hill’s history, they’ll likely err on the side of caution.
