Chiefs' Hill denies assaulting fiancee in new audio

July 2024 · 2 minute read

More of the explosive audio that embroiled Tyreek Hill in a child abuse investigation was aired on Tuesday, and in it, the Kansas City Chiefs star denies assaulting his then-girlfriend (now-fiancee) and child.

The original clip, first aired by KCTV 5 in April, revealed an argument between Hill and his fiancee Crystal Espinal over injuries sustained by the couple’s 3-year-old son.

The case against Hill was later declared “inactive.”

On Tuesday, Kansas City sports station 610 KCSP aired the entire conversation, secretly recorded by Espinal, in which the former couple argues about a 2014 incident Hill pleaded guilty to — domestic abuse by strangulation — which resulted in Hill being kicked off the Oklahoma State football team.

“You f–king ruined my life and you lied on me in 2014,” Hill says to Espinal in the clip. “I’m still not over that. I didn’t touch you in 2014.

“If you want to rewind that night, we can rewind that night, too. You was in my house. And did I pick you up and slam you? Hell no. I picked you up and put you out my door and after that you left.”

Espinal repeatedly asked Hill “where did the bruises come from?” while he said, “Did I hit you, though?”

Espinal also told Hill that “you had your hand around my neck,” but Hill responds, “No, I did not.”

The argument then shifted toward the couple’s son, where Espinal alleged that Hill broke the infant’s arm in March.

After the initial audio aired, police were called to the couple’s home in Overland Park, Kansas over an anonymous call from someone worried about Espinal.

The NFL and the Chiefs have heard the full recording, according to multiple reports.

Hill remains indefinitely banned from the Chiefs’ facilities, with the NFL having met with the wideout and a ruling expected prior to training camp.
