–The road to divorce has been rocky for Deion and Pilar Sanders, and has yet to let up for either party. Just last month, Pilar was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence against her husband while attempting to visit their children.
In a three-part interview with Basketball Wives L.A. alum, Tonya Young Williams, Pilar Sanders opens up about the abuse she experienced with Primetime, the infidelity allegations, and gives her side of the April 23rd ordeal.
Check out a few highlights of the conversation below.
On the physical and verbal abuse during their show “Primetime Love”:
“During the shooting of it, I have a very light personality, with that, there were a lot of parts that were just naturally funny and it just kinda happened. So he called shooting down and he called a meeting with myself and two producers from Los Angeles and we went to our back room where the sitting area is – he said “there has to be a good cop and a bad cop and there is only one comedian here and the comedian is me.” I just started laughing and said, “Oh my God you are ridiculous” and I say, “I can’t help it if I’m funnier than you”. Then he leaped across the table and grabbed my neck and squeezed it to the point that I thought that he poked a hole in my trachea. The two producers didn’t know what to do. They couldn’t get him off of me. They couldn’t do anything so I started kicking him in his groin. That’s the only thing that got him off of me … There were other times when he grabbed me and ripped jewelry … When he was verbally abusive, I didn’t recognize it as abuse. I took his nasty behavior as his personality, I just thought he was a really mean jerk. He was just rude to people because he’s rude to a lot more people than me.”
