Deion Sanders Assaulted By Ex-Wife, Followed By Hilarious Real Time Tweets

Quality Family Time in the Sanders' Household
Yahoo - Deion Sanders' contentious divorce took another ugly turn on Monday, when the Pro Football Hall of Famer posted a photograph of him and his two sons filling out a police report against their mother, Pilar Sanders. He captioned the photograph with the message, "filling out police reports now! Thank God for this platform to issue the Truth." Last month, Pilar Sanders filed a $200 million defamation lawsuit against her husband. She was responding to a tweet from Deion's daughter, Deiondra, which said Pilar was a "gold-digging [expletive]." Deion later explained that the statement couldn't be defamation because it's true.


This whole thing was hilarious to follow yesterday afternoon. Apparently the whole thing stems from Deions daughter slamming his ex-wife (presumably not the children's mother? I don't know I can't figure that part out) for being a gold digging hoe (her words, not mine). Apparently, the wife took offense to this, as one would, and decided to sue Deion for a perfectly reasonable sum of $200 million (insert pinky in mouth Dr. Evil style). Because that seems like a fair amount for libel, it did after all unfairly defame her character, she went from someone I'd never heard of before to... well, someone I still haven't really heard of, but I hear she's a gold digger, and I'll probably forget about her next week. 

But here's where it gets good...instead of coming out and apologizing, or saying he can't control what his daughter tweets, or just dismissing a $200 million lawsuit as a joke, or even just saying "No Comment," Deion comes out and says:

 Any statements made by any defendants were true, did not create a false impression...Deion also claims the "h*e" insult didn't actually hurt Pilar's reputation -- especially not to the tune of $200 million.

Hilarious. Not only is he not backing down, not only is he confirming it is true, that his ex-wife is a gold digging hoe, but he's also claiming that being known as a hoe doesn't even hurt her reputation. That's gold, you can't ask for a better response. Do you know how low a person's standing and reputation has to be that being publicly branded a "hoe" doesn't even move the needle as to how they're perceived?  Who the hell did Deion marry? Some local hooker in an attempt to have a real life black version of Pretty Woman? 

Also, for the record, I'm on Deion's side here...the fact that she's asking for $200 mm for an innocuous tweet that largely would have been ignored if she hadn't make a lawsuit out of it to begin with, kinda proves that she is in fact, a gold digging hoe. Pretty sure that's all the evidence a judge will need.
