Tyreek Hill is getting some good news and some bad news this week in his assault case.
A jury in Miami, Fla. surprisingly delivered a mixed verdict Tuesday in the civil case against former All-Pro wide receiver Hill. A jury found Hill liable on two counts of battery against his ex-wife Lakeeta Vaccaro and ordered him to pay $500,000 in restitution, ESPN’s Xuan Thai reports.
However, the jury also found Hill not liable for the eight remaining claims made by Vaccaro, ultimately denying Vaccaro the punitive damages he was seeking. Hill was said to be “relieved-looking” as the verdict was read and proceeded to hug one of his lawyers.
The six-person jury reportedly delivered its verdict after nearly four hours of deliberation. You can read the full Thai report on the situation here.
Vaccaro, 30, filed her assault and battery lawsuit against Hill, 32, on Sept. 2025. In the lawsuit, Vaccaro, who filed for divorce from Hill in April 2025, alleges that Hill became physically violent towards her on multiple occasions after their marriage in late 2023 (read the full details here).
Hill, who also settled a lawsuit against him from another woman earlier this year, remains an unsigned free agent after suffering a severe knee injury with the Miami Dolphins last season. Rumors have been swirling recently about a potentially imminent new NFL deal for Hill, but it remains to be seen if Hill will face discipline from the league under the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy.
