Pilar Sanders has prevailed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In 2013, Pilar and Deion Sanders dissolved what remained of their marriage. The remnants of what was presumed to be love resulted in a bitter divorce that allowed Ms. Pilar to be awarded $1,000,000. Hurt, but not broken, Pilar spoke her truth about domestic violence and financial abuse.
She needed to reveal the injustice of the 366th District court of Collin County and how her ex was given preferential treatment that lead to her leaving a 15-year marriage without anything though there was community property that was accumulated . The marriage had funds commingled, but all went to the NFL Hall of Fame player.
Because Pilar’s truth didn’t elevate her ex-husband, Deion fired back with a defamation lawsuit alleging Pilar’s statements caused him detriment and were negligent. Without producing any evidence to support his claims that Pilar’s reality was non factual and done with malicious intent, the 366th District Court in Collin County sided with Deion awarding him a $2.2 million payout.

Deion’s win would offset the one million plus dollars he owed to Pilar from their divorce in 2013 . This judgment would leave his ex-wife owing him a little over a million dollars. Included in this defamation case were injunctions that would silence Pilar preventing her from ever speaking her reality and healing.

Pilar determined to continued to fight prevailed and on August 29, 2017, she found victory. The Dallas Fifth Circuit Court Of Appeals reversed Deion’s win, proving that Pilar’s statements were not defamatory nor could malice and negligence be concluded. Now that the tables have turned Deion must pay Pilar the 1 million dollars he’s owed her since their divorce in 2013 plus interest and court costs.
