Pilar Sanders Makes Shocking New Allegations Against Deion Sanders

The divorce battle between Pilar Sanders and her husband of 12 years Deion Sanders is heating up…again. Earlier this month the estranged couple were on speaking terms and even living under the same roof while working out the specifics of their divorce but new papers filed in Texas by Pilar suggest things have changed for the worse.

In documents filed today Pilar explicitly calls Deion a “bully” who has repeatedly cheated through the course of their marriage

According to TMZ Pilar stated that “[Deion] committed numerous acts of adultery … on numerous occasions throughout the marriage. [Deion] voluntarily had sexual intercourse with others who were not his spouse.”

If infidelity wasn’t enough, Pilar adds that Deion “has been guilty of unkind, uncaring, insensitive, cruel and unusual treatment of [Pilar] … as well as physical, mental and emotional abuse of [Pilar] and the parties’ children.”

“[Deion] is a bully” … who “suffers from a narcissistic personality disorder, needs a full psychological evaluation.”

Pilar also requested sole and legal custody of their three children together and the prenuptial agreement be voided. Pilar believes Deion needs counseling to become a better father and she was forced to sign the pre-nup under duress.

So much for a reconciliation…

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
