NFL player Hill found liable for two counts of battery

A Miami jury has found Tyreek Hill liable for two counts of battery but not liable for the eight remaining claims made by Lakeeta Vaccaro, ending the high-profile civil trial involving the NFL wide receiver and his estranged wife.

Tyreek Hill found liable for two of 10 counts in battery civil trial; Hill, 32, ordered to pay estranged wife $500k in damages; former Dolphins and Chiefs player's timeline to return to NFL still unclear

Hill, who has played for the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins, was found liable for two counts of battery - one stemming from an incident in January 2024, and another from April 2025.

The jury awarded Vaccaro $500,000 (£377,000) in compensatory damages but did not award her punitive damages.

The jury found Hill, 32, not liable for eight other counts that included battery, assault and continuing domestic violence.

The trial involved allegations of abuse made by Vaccaro, 30, who on the stand described instances in which Hill allegedly pulled her hair and "treated me like I was, just, a man."
