NFL launch Tyreek Hill investigation with Dolphins star accused of 'spitting on pregnant wife and abusing her'

The NFL has launched an investigation into disturbing allegations made by Tyreek Hill's estranged wife, who has accused the Miami Dolphins star of abusing her on eight separate occasions.

Keeta Vaccaro filed for divorce from Hill on April 7 - one day after police responded to reports of an 'assault in progress' at their home. 

The Dolphins wide receiver, who is believed to have as many as 10 kids, was not arrested following the incident, though Vaccaro's mother Alesia said he had acted 'aggressive and impulsive' after he allegedly hurled a laptop to the floor.

Divorce court documents obtained by TMZ have accused Hill of domestic violence on several occasions, including when Vaccaro was pregnant with their baby daughter Capri. He is also accused of spitting at her on one occasion.

The documents are part of the couple's ongoing divorce case. Through his attorney, Hill has denied the allegations and called them a 'smear campaign.'

Yet TMZ is now reporting that the accusations are part of an NFL investigation, after the league initiated a probe as part of its 'standard policy.'

It remains to be seen whether the probe affects his status for Miami's clash with the New England Patriots this weekend or any other games in the future.  

The couple wed in November 2023, but Vaccaro has alleged that Hill began getting physical with her just two months later in January 2024.

Vaccaro, the brother of former New Orleans Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro, said things escalated at a guest house in Southwest Ranches, Florida during a conversation about a postnuptial agreement.

Keeta alleged that Hill 'shoved her to the floor, stood over her, and then ripped off her necklace, causing a cut and a bruise,' TMZ wrote.

The violence continued in the subsequent weeks, as Hill allegedly attacked her while the pair were in Orlando.

In that case, Vaccaro claims, the NFL star threw her to the floor, ripped her hair out and 'twist[ed] her intimate body parts.'

In February 2024, Hill allegedly abused Vaccaro again, as he is said to have 'shoved' a marijuana cigarette in Vaccaro's face as they were preparing to leave for the Pro Bowl in Orlando.

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

The couple officially separated on April 7 of this year. 

Vaccaro's attorney, Evan Marks, told Daily Mail in an email that his client 'has sworn that the allegations contained therein are true and correct.'  

'Evidence will be presented to a Jury who will then decide whether Ms. Vaccaro is entitled to be compensated for the damages that she sustained due to the conduct of Mr. Hill as alleged in the Verified Amended Petition,' he continued.

'Unlike Mr. Hill and the four (4) law firms representing him, Ms. Vaccaro and her attorneys, Evan Marks and Carolyn West of the law firm of Marks & West, P.A., prefer not to litigate the case in the media and therefore, currently have no further comment.' 

Daily Mail has also reached out to the Dolphins and Hill's legal team for comment. 

Hill's attorney told TMZ: '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. Mr. Hill will not be moved by this and awaits his day in court to present his evidence.'
