Jury finds Tyreek Hill liable for two battery counts

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 05:32 · Archive

A Miami jury has found NFL wide receiver Tyreek Hill liable for two counts of battery in a civil trial brought by his estranged wife Lakeeta Vaccaro. The jury awarded Vaccaro $500,000 in compensatory damages but declined to award punitive damages. Hill was found not liable for eight other claims made against him, including additional battery and assault counts and allegations of continuing domestic violence.

Hill, who has played for the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins, faced the allegations relating to incidents in January 2024 and April 2025. Following the verdict, Hill embraced one of his attorneys and shook hands with others before leaving the courtroom.

It remains unclear what effect the verdict will have on Hill's NFL career. He is currently recovering from a dislocated knee and torn ligaments sustained in September 2025 while playing for the Dolphins. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has indicated that Hill could be ready to return to play by November.
