A Miami jury sided with Lakeeta Vaccaro on two of ten claims against the NFL receiver, but rejected the other eight and denied punitive damages.
A Miami jury has reached its verdict in the civil trial between NFL wide receiver Tyreek Hill and his estranged wife, Lakeeta Vaccaro, and the result was split. On Tuesday, jurors found Hill liable on two counts of battery and not liable on the eight other claims she brought.
The two findings relate to separate incidents, one in January 2024 and another in April 2025. Vaccaro had alleged abuse by Hill, and the jury's decision upheld her case on those two counts only.
The panel awarded Vaccaro $500,000 in compensatory damages. Jurors did not grant punitive damages, which are meant to punish a defendant beyond covering the harm done.
Hill, a former Kansas City Chiefs star who has also played for the Miami Dolphins, has been one of the most electrifying receivers in the league. The verdict closes a high-profile civil case that put his personal life in the spotlight, with the jury rejecting most of the claims but finding him liable on two.
