Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill is accused of shoving his wife on the floor, ripping her hair out and trying to punch her stomach while pregnant, according to court documents from the couple’s divorce proceedings that were released and reviewed by the Miami Herald on Tuesday.
The court records, which included an amended divorce petition filed on behalf of Hill’s wife Lakeeta Vaccaro, were unsealed Tuesday by Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Spencer Multack after several media companies, including the Herald, requested the records be released. The 23-page petition was filed on Sept. 4 and detailed eight alleged domestic violence incidents between the couple.
“Throughout the marriage [Hill] repeatedly committed acts of physical violence against [Vaccaro] including but not limited to spitting in [Vaccaro’s] face, attempting forcibly to remove [Vaccaro’s] wedding ring from her finger, grabbing [Vaccaro], pushing [Vaccaro], shoving [Vaccaro], pinching [Vaccaro], throwing [Vaccaro] to the ground, twisting and tugging on [Vaccaro’s] intimate body parts, ripping [Vaccaro’s] hair, grabbing [Vaccaro’s] jewelry and clothing, and physically cornering and restraining [Vaccaro] against her will including while she was pregnant with the parties’ minor child and on the day before [Vaccaro] gave birth to the parties’ child,” the petition says.
