Overview
- In filings reported in mid‑August 2026, Vaccaro asked the court to force Hill to answer whether he offered, promised, or paid any money or other consideration to Crystal Espinal.
- The motion alleges Hill’s lawyer contacted Espinal a week before her deposition and that Hill then flew to Arkansas to see Espinal and their three children after years of limited contact.
- Espinal previously made abuse claims and leaked 2019 audio prompted an NFL and Kansas City Chiefs review at the time, though no suspension followed.
- Hill’s attorney, Seth Schneiderman, called Vaccaro’s filing a "calculated and malicious attempt to weaponize the judicial process for improper financial gain," and Hill’s camp denies the characterization of the documents.
- The dispute remains in active discovery with no court ruling yet, and the court’s handling of the compel request will determine whether new documents or sworn testimony become part of the divorce record.
