Deion Sanders files defamation suit against ex-wife

Broadcaster and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders has filed a defamation suit against his ex-wife, Pilar Sanders, also known as Pilar Love El Dey.

The suit accuses Pilar Sanders of publishing false statements on social media that accuse him of multiple crimes, including child abuse, spousal abuse, assault and attempted murder. The suit also references defamatory statements it said she made on TV in a recent appearance on The O’Reilly Factor.

The suit, filed Nov. 24 in Collin County, seeks damages of $200,000 to $1 million as well as other relief to which he may be entitled.

“The property and rights involved are unique and irreplaceable, so that it will be impossible to accurately measure, in monetary terms, the damages caused by the defendant’s conduct,” the suit states, adding that the losses are likely to exceed Pilar Sanders’ financial worth.

[font color=green]I'm surprised that Deion's lawyers did not have something inserted into the divorce decree that prohibited such conduct. In my opinion there is not very much anyone could same to defame Deion since he already achieved that himself.[/font]
