Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill ‘bullied, threatened,’ flicked unlit cigar at wife, Davie domestic dispute report says
In late January, Davie police came to the home of Tyreek Hill over a domestic dispute call involving his wife Keeta Vaccaro, who claimed the Miami Dolphins wide receiver "smashed" her face with an unlit cigar.
On the same day a judge dismissed a divorce petition filed by Tyreek Hill, Davie police came to the home of the Miami Dolphins wide receiver over a domestic dispute call involving his wife Keeta Vaccaro, according to the Miami Herald.
Vaccaro told police that Hill, 30, “smashed” an unlit cigar in her face, per a Jan. 30 Davie police incident report cited in the story.
That report, obtained by the Herald, stands among a string of incidents that have defined a difficult 2024 thus far for Hill. Within the past three months, the star player allegedly broke an influencer-model’s leg, had a fire engulf a portion of his Southwest Ranches home and filed a divorce petition against Vaccaro. Then, one week after the latter incident in January, police arrived at Hill’s home, and now fresh details about this domestic dispute call have emerged.
Vaccaro had been on the phone with her cousin, who dialed 911 after hearing Hill screaming at his wife, per the Herald report. When officers arrived they defused the argument, which stemmed from their post-nuptial agreement and Hill’s divorce filing earlier that month, which had been dismissed that day.
Vaccaro told police she refused to sign the post-nuptial agreement and Hill “smashed” the cigar in her face, adding that she felt “bullied, threatened and verbally abused.”
Hill told police he merely “flicked” the cigar, denying that it actually struck her, according to the Herald.
Officers saw no signs of any struggle in the home, nor any noticeable marks on Vaccaro’s face and body. “Due to conflicting stories and no evidence that a crime had occurred, no arrest was made,” the police report says.
During a March 6 appearance on The Pivot Podcast, Hill vowed to “clean up” his life following incidents that have dogged his offseason.
“I lost my true self from what my grandparents raised me to be when I entered the league,” Hill told podcasters. “I completely forgot my relationship with God. And it really showed.”
Hill married Vaccaro on Nov. 8 in Texas during the Dolphins’ bye week. After the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported their divorce filing in late January, Hill denied it on X, writing, “boy no the heck we didn’t so don’t put that in the air !!! We are happily married and gone stay that way.”
