A nanny cam video was brought into Lakeeta Vaccaro Hill’s civil trial against estranged husband Tyreek Hill.
Vaccaro is suing Hill for punitive and compensatory damages and the first day of the trial included a disturbing video that the Miami judge did not let reporters broadcast (video or audio). But a producer for Law&Crime/Court TV provided a description on Tuesday to the station’s managing editor, Cathy Russon.
The trial involves an incident dating back to 2024 that involves Hill, Vaccaro and Vaccaro’s mother.
Russon’s post details that the nanny cam had a steady shot of the daughter, Capri, who was born in November 2024.
Vaccaro allegedly could be heard screaming, “Stop! Stop! Help! Help!” while Hill yelled, “You don’t scare me, bro! You ain’t nothing but a broke bitch!”
“I don’t need you in my life! What’s wrong with you!?” Hill continued.
Vaccaro replied: “Stop it!”
Their daughter then began to fuss and Hill went to the crib and grabbed the baby.
Later, Vaccaro was shrieking “Stop!” as her mother could be heard asking Hill to “leave her alone.”
Additionally, during the trial, Vaccaro provided disturbing details of Hill allegedly punching her in the stomach while she was pregnant with their child in July 2024.
“The first time he struck at my stomach and punched it, and I saved myself,” Vaccaro said at the podium with tears coming down her face. “He was like, ‘I don’t want the baby.’”
She claimed she attempted to block the swing with her hand and stated it was likely the “worst of these abuse times.”
“He grabbed my hair, ripped it out, throwing all my things. And obviously I was vulnerable; I was pregnant, and he treated me like I was like a man,” Vaccaro said.
Hill has denied the various allegations, and his lawyers tried to portray Vaccaro as motivated by money when she first established her relationship with the wide receiver.
Tuesday’s proceedings wrapped around 5 p.m. ET and the cross-examination is set to continue on Wednesday morning.
The trial isn’t Hill’s first legal issue during his football career.
In 2014, he was arrested in Oklahoma on claims of assault on his 20-year-old pregnant girlfriend, Crystal Espinal, who he shares three children with. He was dismissed from Oklahoma State’s football program and pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery by strangulation. He received three years’ probation.
Later in March 2019, Hill was investigated for alleged battery after his three-year-old son broke his arm. No criminal charges were filed.
Hill and Vaccaro got married in November 2023. She filed for divorce in April 2025, which came a day after cops responded to a call from their Florida home while an alleged assault was in progress. He was not charged.
The 32-year-old is a free agent and is aiming to bounce back after suffering a season-ending knee injury during Week 4 in 2025.
He was speculated to be in talks with the Chiefs about a possible reunion after injuries suffered during Sunday’s win over the Raiders.
