Free-agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill was ruled liable for two counts of battery in a Miami civil lawsuit filed by his ex-wife, Lakeeta Vaccaro, on Tuesday. The jury awarded Vaccaro $500,000 in compensatory damages following a week-long trial where she presented testimonies, an audio recording, and a 911 call. Vaccaro alleged that Hill had physically abused her starting in 2024, following a dispute over their prenuptial agreement.
Hill hugged his attorney, Christi Bright, and appeared relieved after the verdict. He denied the allegations but expressed deep shame for threatening his wife's safety during one incident. Hill was acquitted of the other eight charges. The Dolphins released him in February after he suffered an ACL injury that limited him to four games last season.
Hill has hinted at his readiness to return to the field, but no team has shown interest in the eight-time Pro Bowler.
