NFL bad boy Tyreek Hill has been branded a ‘hypocrite’ for slating his estranged wife then asking a judge to hit her with a gag order, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Dolphins star Hill, 31, has accused Keeta Vaccaro, 29, of swiping cash and hacking into his financial accounts in public divorce filings.
But while the speedy athlete likes to dish out the disses, he dis keen to prevent his influencer ex spill the secrets of their disastrous five month-marriage.
Hill’s attorneys submitted a motion late last month asking Miami Judge Spencer Multack to bar their counterparts from making ‘denigrating, disparaging and uncivil statements’ in future filings.
The move prompted a scathing pushback from Vaccaro’s legal team who blasted the eight-time Pro Bowler for demanding special protection ‘because he is famous’ and doesn’t want to ‘look bad’.
‘The Goose-Gander Rule is instructive, and its application reveals the hypocrisy of husband’s position,’ reads their feisty reply.
Controversial NFL star Tyreek Hill, 31, and his estranged ex-wife Keeta Vaccaro, 29, have been locked in a contentious court battle over their divorce that continues to escalate to the point where Hill’s legal team requested a gag order against her
When the request for the gag order was issued by Hill’s legal team, Vaccaro hit back stating the NFL player was demanding special attention ‘because he is famous’ and doesn’t want to ‘look bad’
Vaccaro was also accused by Hill of swiping cash and hacking into his financial accounts, while she accused him of hurling a laptop to the floor and being ‘aggressive’ a day before she filed for divorce on April 7
‘He wants to silence the wife’s lawyers while his own pleadings disparage and denigrate the wife.’
Fitness entrepreneur Vaccaro filed for divorce on April 7 a day after cops responded to reports of an ‘ᴀssault in progress’ at the couple’s luxury Miami condo.
Hill hurled a laptop onto the floor and was ‘aggressive and impulsive’ according to Vaccaro’s mother Alesia – but police determined that ‘no crime was committed’.
An astonishing 78 court documents have been submitted since then as the estranged couple bicker over spousal support and access to their seven-month-old daughter Capri.
Vaccaro’s lawyers took aim at Hill in an April 17 filing that claimed he had ‘no sincere desire to spend time with the baby, to ᴀssume parental responsibilities … or to be personally involved with the baby’.
The gridiron phenom’s real objective, claimed attorneys Evan Marks and Carolyn West, was ‘coercion and control’.
The couple’s marriage only lasted five months. At one point, Hill filed to divorce Vaccaro two months in, only to withdraw the peтιтion days later claiming it was filed without his knowledge
The couple share a daughter named Capri, but Vaccaro claims little effort has been made to see her and that the footballer uses timesharing of his ‘ten (or more) children’ as a ‘stick’ against his various baby mamas so they won’t seek child support
Hill, who plays for the Miami Dolphins, wasn’t impressed as his lawyers clapped back at Vaccaro’s bashing of his parenting skills, calling it a ‘false violent narrative’
They blasted Hill again in a June 11 offering for his alleged ‘lack of involvement … in the lives of his other ten (or more) children, including the three (or more) born in 2023’.
The paperwork added: ‘Respondent’s past behavior shows he uses timesharing demands as a “stick” to beat up the mothers of his children so that they will not seek appropriate financial relief.’
Hill’s attorneys Michael Gottlieb and Christi Bright were not impressed by the ‘unnecessary’ bashing of his parenting skills – and didn’t much like the stick comment either.
‘The wife’s counsel’s inclusion in said court filing of an analogy that the husband seeks time sharing as a “stick” to “beat up the mothers of his children” is part of the wife’s ongoing false violent narrative of the husband,’ their June 23 motion protested.
‘The husband is a public sports figure and the wife’s counsel’s efforts to disparage the husband via false/denigrating claims may cause harm to the husband’s reputation.’
Marks and West sought the final word, however, in a June 25 response, insisting Hill’s efforts to muzzle Vaccaro were a ‘clear attempt to silence and intimidate’ their client.
Footage from the day of the domestic dispute showed Tyreek Hill holding his baby daughter Capri as he peered over his balcony before the cops arrived
Hill was suspended from the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019 over allegations he had broken his son Zev’s arm but was reinstated after the district attorney said there was insufficient evidence to charge him

They pointed out that just days earlier Hill had accused Vaccaro of stealing cash and ‘fraudulently obtaining access’ to his financial accounts to make unauthorized transfers to herself, her business and her 62-year-old mom.
‘Three days before he filed his motion to enjoin, he filed a pleading in which he alleged, through counsel, that the wife “has a history of stealing” and related statements, leading to the publication of one article with the headline: ‘NFL Star Tyreek Hill Accuses Ex Keeta of Stealing From Him,’ wrote Marks and West.
‘Instead of asking this court to enjoin the husband’s lawyers from making such statements, the wife is marshalling the evidence that she will present to prove they are false.’
Judge Multack has not yet issued a ruling.
Relationship drama is nothing new to Hill who filed for divorce just two months after marrying Vaccaro in November 2023 after a long on-again, off-again engagement.
He immediately declared it was an error and said he had fired members of his legal team for submitting the paperwork without his authorization.
Hill is also fighting a lawsuit against plus-sized influencer Sophie Hall, who claimed he broke her leg and made her stay in his home after a football scrimmage in his backyard

The star athlete has been dogged by controversies dating back to 2014 when he was kicked off the team at Oklahoma State and received three years’ probation for choking ex-fiancée Crystal Espinal while she was pregnant with their first son, Zev Carter.
In 2019 he was suspended by Kansas City, his former team, over alleged child abuse allegations but was reinstated after he pleaded his innocence and a district attorney determined there was insufficient evidence to prove he had broken Zev’s arm.
More recently Hill – nicknamed Cheetah because of his blistering speed – has been ensnared in paternity battles with multiple women.
He’s also fighting a lawsuit filed by plus-sized influencer Sophie Hall who says he broke her leg during a practice football scrimmage in his backyard.
Last year he was hauled from his McLaren supercar and bundled to the ground in a September 8 traffic stop that was caught on shocking police bodycam footage outside Hard Rock Stadium.
Hill was cleared of careless driving and failing to wear a seatbelt when the officers involved failed to show up to court.
