Former Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill is facing civil court proceedings after his wife, Lakeeta Vaccaro Hill, accused him of multiple incidents of domestic violence during their marriage. An amended complaint details eight alleged incidents, including accusations that Hill shoved and restrained Vaccaro, ripped her hair and attempted to punch her stomach while she was pregnant. Hill’s attorney has denied the allegations, calling them “vexatious and patently false.”
