Looks like Tyreek Hill’s offseason is somehow getting messier than a busted coverage in the fourth quarter. According to court documents, Hill’s estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, is now trying to get access to police and investigative records connected to previous allegations involving the NFL player.
And social media? Social media is treating this like the season finale of a football reality show.
Per the filings, Keeta wants permission to issue subpoenas to multiple law enforcement agencies, including police departments and prosecutors’ offices that previously looked into allegations tied to Tyreek.
Basically, this legal battle has officially entered the “bring every file cabinet into court” stage.
Now, nobody is saying this divorce drama is turning into a Netflix documentary, but honestly, give it a week.
The court request focuses on obtaining records from agencies that investigated Tyreek in the past. And the internet immediately began arguing over whether this is standard legal strategy or the relationship version of bringing a flamethrower to a disagreement.
Keeta said the subpoenas seek evidence of “other crimes, wrongs or acts committed” by Tyreek and “certified copies of his grandparents’ (who are witnesses) criminal convictions.”
Keeta previously accused Tyreek of punching her in the stomach while she was pregnant with their child, also of him spitting on her, pulling out her hair, violently twisting her breasts, locking her out of her home, physically restraining her, and threatening her life. Tyreek denied wrongdoing and claims that any actions were done in self-defense.
She said there is a nanny cam video that shows Tyreek’s violence towards her and her mother, which she claims his team tried to buy for several hundred thousand dollars.
Tyreek has spent years making headlines both on and off the field. The man can outrun defenders, but apparently escaping public drama is a completely different sport.
Keeta claims Tyreek’s grandparents serve as his “fixers,” who help him when criminal issues come up. Specifically, Keeta wants records from the Still Water Police Department over an alleged assault of a woman named Crystal Espinal, Overland Park Police Department over alleged child abuse, and records from the NFL about the child abuse investigation by the league. Tyreek did not face criminal charges over the accusations.
At this point, Tyreek’s lawyers are probably reading every new filing with the same stress level defensive coordinators feel before trying to stop him on third-and-long.
And judging by how public this entire situation has become, don’t expect the headlines to slow down anytime soon.
