Amazon NFL Broadcast Sparks Outrage for Bringing Up Domestic Violence Accusations Against Miami Dolphins Star

Amazon’s NFL broadcast team was under fire for bringing up the fact that Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill was accused of domestic violence.

The Dolphins took on the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football this week. Although many expected it to be a lopsided win for the Bills, the Dolphins played their best game of the season and looked poised to hand the Bills their first loss of the season. Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Bills led 28-21.

It was at that point when, seemingly out of nowhere, sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung brought up Hill’s off-the-field issues.

“The NFL is investigating accusations of domestic violence against Tyreek Hill,” Hartung said. “In filings made earlier this month related to his divorce, Hill’s ex-wife alleges he was violent with her on eight separate occasions dating back to January 2024. He’s denied this and has not been charged criminally.”

“In 2015, Hill pleaded guilty to domestic violence charges stemming from his time at Oklahoma State, guys,” she added.

As Hartung gave the report, the broadcast showed Hill standing on the sideline.

That report came with a great deal of backlash, with many viewers feeling it was unnecessary to bring up a situation in which he hadn’t been formally charged yet. Some even wanted to see Hill sue Amazon over it.

That sentiment was not unanimous, though. While some blasted the broadcast, others praised Amazon for putting a spotlight on what they considered to be an important story.
