“PrimeTime” Deion Sanders will ask a judge to suspend his ex-wife’s visitation rights with their three children after she posted audio of his daughter saying the NFL Hall of Famer “kicked” and “choked” his son, has exclusively learned.
The recording tweeted by Pilar Sanders Wednesday is old and was already considered as part of the child custody trial that resulted in Deion, 47, getting full custody of his two sons and daughter last year, according to Deion’s lawyer Rick Robertson.
The judge ruled then that Sanders did not commit any family violence against his children or former wife Pilar Sanders, Robertson told Radar.
The Sanders children — son Shilo, 14, and Shedeur, 12, and daughter Shelomi, 10 — are “doing great and are happy,” Robertson said. The children are featured in the show Deion’s Family Playbook on OWN TV, which focuses on parenting skills.
Pilar, 40, wrote in a Facebook posting Thursday that the Deion “Ripped them from me, Alienating them from me and Abusing them...Now It's My Divine Motherly Right to Keep Fighting until they are Safely with me, where they belong and have always been.”

The mother, however, has not been exercising her weekend visitation rights since August, Robertson said. She showed up at Deion’s house at midnight earlier this month demanding the children, but the father refused and called the police because it was too late, the lawyer claimed.
Robertson said he will file a pleading in a Texas family court Thursday asking that her visitation rights be suspended because of “all of the garbage she’s posting in social media.”
“I am sad she’s decided to pursue everything in a media blitz, but understand what she really does is raise the curtain on her on issues,” Robertson said.
