Jury Sides with Wife in Tyreek Hill Civil Trial

In a Miami civil trial concluding Tuesday, a jury determined Tyreek Hill liable for two counts of battery against his estranged wife. She was awarded $500,000 in compensatory damages. The jury also found Hill not liable for eight additional charges, including battery, continuing domestic violence, and assault. No punitive damages were awarded by the jury, and an eleventh count had been previously dismissed by the judge.

The tumultuous relationship was detailed during the trial, with allegations of hair pulling, shoving, and threats. Hill denied most claims, though he admitted to saying he could "get people to hurt her." He also alleged his wife attempted to seduce him after she filed for divorce, leading him to push her against a wall.

Hill, who is seeking to rejoin the NFL after being released by the Miami Dolphins, could face league discipline. The NFL's personal conduct policy may consider prior misconduct, including a 2015 plea to assault and battery by strangulation. The league stated it is monitoring the situation under its personal conduct policy.

Two incidents on January 10, 2024, and April 7, 2025, led to the battery findings, with physical evidence and nanny cam footage presented. An allegation of abuse at ESPN's headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, was not found by the jury.
