EXCLUSIVE Tyreek Hill divorce hits a new low as estranged wife accuses NFL phenom of 'hypocrisy' for trying to gag her
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, 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. 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' '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 'assault 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 assume 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 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 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. 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. 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.

Liberals believe the government will impose a gag order on Quebec energy bill
Quebec Liberal Party interim Leader Marc Tanguay questions the government at the legislature in Quebec City, Tuesday, April 29, 2025. (Jacques Boissinot/The Canadian Press) Everything suggests that the government will force the adoption of Bill 69 on energy by gag order, says the Quebec Liberal Party (PLQ). The parliamentary session ends on Friday. 'With François Legault, gagging equals sloppiness, and we denounce it,' said interim Liberal leader Marc Tanguay at a news conference Monday morning in Montreal. Liberal MNA Monsef Derraji accused the government of dragging its feet on Bill 69. 'As of today, we have lost 250 hours of detailed study. (...) This shows you how unprepared this government was to have a meaningful discussion about Quebec's energy future, and unfortunately, we are witnessing the politicization of energy rates by François Legault,' he said alongside his leader. Tanguay also criticized the bill. 'François Legault has decided to pass on the bill of 15 per cent and more over the last three years to our SMEs and businesses. In that sense, it's a bad bill,' he said. The Parti Québécois (PQ) also believes that the government will use gag orders and reiterates its request that the bill be withdrawn 'so that the minister can go back and do her homework.' 'The CAQ government has achieved a remarkable feat: it has managed to unite everyone against it. Neither civil society organizations, SMEs nor industries agree with the pile of amendments it tabled at the last minute. The CAQ government, which itself does not seem to understand the impact of these amendments, is creating even more confusion in a bill that was already a hodgepodge,' said PQ MNA Pascal Paradis in a written statement sent to The Canadian Press. Two weeks ago, Minister of Economy, Innovation and Energy Christine Fréchette tabled 52 amendments to modify the legislative text. 'We are calling on the opposition to study the bill' Last week, Fréchette refused to commit to not passing her bill under closure. Her office told The Canadian Press that the bill had been studied for more than 100 hours, that there had been four briefings for the opposition parties, and that the amendments had been provided in advance. 'We are not using closure. We are calling on the opposition to study the bill,' the minister's communications director, Maxime Roy, said in a text message on Monday. A laborious process Introduced in June 2024, Bill 69 aims to give Hydro-Québec free rein to increase its electricity production. It was introduced by former super-minister Pierre Fitzgibbon before he resigned in September 2024. Fréchette took over, but the legislative process for the bill has been arduous. In December 2024, Fréchette cited Donald Trump and his threats of tariffs to justify the delays in moving the bill forward. Last February, it was the turn of the official Liberal opposition to delay consideration of the bill, also citing the American president. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on June 2, 2025.

Judge says gag order 'likely' violated in Bryan Kohberger's Idaho murder case
An Idaho judge said on Wednesday it's "likely" someone associated with law enforcement or the prosecution violated a gag order after "sensitive information" was aired during a TV episode about the Bryan Kohberger case in May. On May 9, a TV episode about Bryan Kohberger case aired which featured new cell phone records, search records, surveillance video and more. Kohberger is accused of killing Xana Kernodle, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, and Ethan Chapin, 20. New information shared during the "Dateline" episode included surveillance video from a nearby house showing a car similar to Bryan Kohberger's that was in the area of the King Road house several times just before the four students were killed. The episode also claimed that FBI cellphone tower data showed that Kohberger's cellphone pinged nearly a dozen times to a tower that provides coverage to an area within 100 feet of 1122 King Road, where the four University of Idaho students were killed. In a Thursday afternoon order, Judge Steven Hippler said the court's gag order was "likely" violated by someone, who at one point, was associated with law enforcement or the prosecution team. Hippler ordered anyone who worked with law enforcement and prosecutors on this case to retain all communications and data relating to the murder investigation. The judge also ordered prosecutors to submit a list, on camera, of all individuals within law enforcement and the prosecuting agencies that have access to the information shared during the episode, giving them a seven-day deadline. Fox News Digital reached out to NBC for comment. This is a developing story.

Diddy Prosecutors Need Gag Order to Block Potential Appeal, Deputy D.A. Explains
Diddy Prosecutors Need Gag Order to Block Potential Appeal, Deputy D.A. Explains Mark Geragos may not like that Diddy's lawyers are subject to a gag order -- and so is he ... but, a prominent prosecutor from L.A. says prosecutors need it to avoid a possible appeal. Kirsten Brown-Neil -- a deputy district attorney for L.A. County -- spoke with us on "TMZ Live" about Judge Arun Subramanian warning Geragos to watch what he says on our "2 Angry Men" podcast. Getty When asked about Geragos citing a Supreme Court ruling saying defendants and their attorneys have the right to speak publicly about the case, Kirsten said she thinks Geragos is taking a very narrow view of the ruling. Kirsten says our very own Harvey Levin needs to watch what he says on the podcast too ... or, he and Geragos might end up being used as a grounds for appeal in this case! Diddy Through The Years - Click image to open gallery As for whether it should be up to the defense to decide if they're talking too much to the public and potentially poisoning their case, Kirsten says it's actually unfair to the prosecutors ... 'cause someone like Geragos could end up sabotaging his own client on accident. The way Brown-Neil explains it, if Geragos is some sort of unofficial member of Diddy's legal team -- something he's kept mum on so far -- then by speaking out and biasing the jury in some way, he himself could be used in an ineffectiveness of counsel appeal. The Diddy Trial: Jury Selection Continues And Geragos In Hot Water Over '2 Angry Men' Podcast | TMZ Live So, if prosecutors are able to secure a conviction, they don't want MG talking ... because Diddy's side could try to use something like that to appeal the decision. Brown-Neil says prosecutors can't just secure a conviction -- they have to protect it once they get one too. Diddy Judge Arun Subramanian Looks Like He's Heading to School Kirsten also talks about how prosecutors are representing the public ... so, the public has the right to hear them discuss the case when they can. Of course, prosecutors sent a letter to the judge about Geragos referring to them as a "6-Pack of White Women" on a recent episode of "2 Angry Men" -- and he told Geragos, "I'm going to be watching and I'm going to be listening. All right? You have one more listener for your podcast." Day three of jury selection finished up Wednesday ... and, the 45-member jury pool has now been selected. While there's no court tomorrow, that number will be whittled down to 12 jurors and 6 alternates on Friday. The trial's moving along -- with Opening Arguments to begin next week ... just don't expect to hear the defense discuss it!
