Overview

• Six news organizations filed a motion Friday to intervene in Miami-Dade court and seek public access to an amended petition that reportedly alleges eight instances of domestic violence.
• The document was filed by Lakeeta Vaccaro Hill’s attorney without a sealing request, and TMZ remains the only outlet to have obtained and reported its contents.
• Circuit Judge Spencer J. Multack accepted the amended divorce petition last week, after which the clerk sealed it at the request of Tyreek Hill’s lawyers citing Chapter 39 confidentiality.
• The media motion argues Florida law strongly favors open court records and says avoiding press or NFL attention is not a valid reason to close files.
• The NFL confirms an ongoing investigation, TMZ reports lead investigator Lisa Friel met with Vaccaro’s attorney, and Vaccaro’s lawyer says Hill’s legal team threatened him over potential financial harm.
