NEW YORK, Jan 20th, 2012 (NYDN) –Deion Sanders filed for divorce from his wife Pilar last month, now Pilar has filed papers that paint an unflattering picture of Deion as a husband.
After 12 years of marriage and three children, Deion Sanders filed for divorce from his wife in December 2012. After filing Deion assured the press that the couple was on good terms and that the divorce was mutual.
Deion stressed that the most important issue at hand was the well being of their children. The couple even continued to live with one another after the papers were filed.
The papers were filed yesterday in Texas. They request that their prenuptial agreement be thrown out and that Pilar gain sole custody of the couple’s three children.
Pilar stated in the papers that their prenuptial agreement was invalid because she was coerced into signing it. The prenuptial would give Pilar a substantial amount of money during the divorce, however Pilar does not feel the terms of the agreement should be honored considering Deion’s alleged behavior during the marriage.
Pilar accused Deion of numerous things, including being unfaithful during their marriage and emotionally and physically abusing and abandoning both her and their children.
Pilar went on to say that Deion needs to be evaluated for his narcissistic personality and his tendency to bully others. She also added that he should attend parenting classes to learn how to be a competent father.
Pilar made additional demands in the papers including a large amount of the couple’s estate and for Deion to vacate their mansion in Texas.
When Deion initially filed for divorce last month, he stated that he and Pilar were on good terms with one another. Since then however, Deion’s own daughter has accused Pilar of cheating on Deion and of being a gold digger.
After the papers were filed Deion shot back saying that Pilar used him for his money, echoing his daughter’s previous comments.
Deion lawyer stated that Pilar’s accusations were nothing more than an attempt to “assassinate (Deion’s) character” in order to get out of their prenuptial agreement.
His lawyer also stated that Deion “is a committed, ever-present father”.
Despite Deion’s insistence that Pilar’s claims are false and that the divorce ended on friendly terms, moving vans were seen outside their home earlier this week, indicating that the couple’s living situation has turned sour.
Deion’s lawyer said that Deion would like to take the issue to court to be resolved as soon as possible.
