Jury orders NFL star Tyreek Hill to pay $500,000 for battery on ex-wife

MIAMI (Court TV) — A Florida jury ordered an NFL star to pay his ex-wife half a million dollars for a single instance of battery, while also finding that the wide receiver had not engaged in continuing domestic violence. Tyreek Hill , a wide receiver for both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins, faced a lawsuit from his estranged wife, Lakeeta Vaccaro, tied to the couple's divorce. Vaccaro and Hill had an on-and-off relationship for years, with a brief engagement in 2021 that ended before they eventually married in 2023.
