Pilar Sanders, the estranged wife of former NFL-great Deion Sanders, denies that she broke into his room in their Dallas-area home and attacked him in front of their children.
On Monday, Pilar, a model who appeared on a 2008 Oxygen network reality series about her and her famous husband’s home life, Deion & Pilar: Prime Time Love , was arrested and jailed on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge after allegedly assaulting Deion in his bedroom.
While authorities haven’t released details about the alleged attack, Deion Sanders gave a first hand testimony via Twitter shortly after it occurred, writing that his children “just witnessed their mother and a friend jump me in my room.”
After an overnight stay at Colin County Jail in Texas, a magistrate judge issued an emergency protective order against Pilar, banning her from entering the ex-couple’s home for 60 days and barring her from threatening or harassing her husband.
On her way out of jail Tuesday, Pilar told reporters:
“I am innocent. I understand that I have a very little chance at beating a Hall of Fame, two-sport man that everyone seems to love and adore. I am a full-time mom 100 percent for my children and I have just not gotten a fair shake.”
ABC News added Tuesday that Larry Friedman, Pilar Sanders’ divorce attorney, couldn’t comment on his client’s arrest because there is a gag order in the former couple’s ongoing divorce case .
“I can tell you that there are two sides to every story and the truth will come out in court,” he said in a statement.
