Tyreek Hill denies most abuse claims but admits to shoving wife into wall in explosive testimony
Free agent NFL wide receiver Tyreek Hill took the witness stand in his divorce and battery civil case in Miami on Thursday and it was as explosive as his speed and play-making ability on the field.
During approximately two hours of testimony Hill ...
Claimed his 18-month marriage to Lakeeta Vaccaro Hill was punctuated by arguments about her refusal to sign a post-nuptial agreement, her stealing between $60,000-$100,000 a month from a family account, her insistence his family leave their sprawling Broward County estate, and occasionally him flirting with other women.
TYREEK HILL'S NFL RETURN SEEMED IMMINENT AND THEN HIS DIVORCE TRIAL BEGAN WITH DOMESTIC ABUSE ALLEGATIONS Hill, 32, denied he ever punched Vaccaro's stomach while she was pregnant, twisted her breasts, pulled out her hair, shoved a lit blunt into her face, or left her on the side of a road – which Vaccaro claimed on the witness stand earlier this week.
But Hill did admit to throwing Vaccaro up against a wall of their Sunny Isle, Florida condo, creating a hole in the structure.
He did admit to threatening her by saying he knew people who could hurt her.
And he did apologize for cursing out both Vaccaro and her mother – a rant that is on tape.
That's not all.
Hill accused Vaccaro for indirectly being responsible for causing the fire that burned down their home in Broward County.
And he also accused her for causing him to play worse once they got married because of the constant fighting.
"I felt like If you look at my career before and my career after I got married it was, like, trending down," he testified.
"And it was, like, bad.
I was like, man, am I really putting this product on the field? Do I really look that bad? It was hard." Hill's testimony wrapped up at 5:41 p.m. but he is scheduled back on the witness stand on Friday because Thursday's session was all direct testimony.
Vaccaro's attorney will have a chance for redirect on Friday.
