Pilar Sanders Calls Out Oprah, Deion Sanders Amid Child Abuse Claims

Pilar Sanders has accused Oprah Winfrey of supporting child abuse after the media maven's company reportedly removed videos alleging that Deion Sanders was abusing his children.

Deion "Prime Time" Sanders, the 47-year-old NFL Hall-of-Famer, is continuing to go through a tough time with his ex-wife Pilar while appearing with their children and his producer girlfriend Tracey Edmonds in the OWN Network show, "Deion's Family Playbook."

After Pilar posted a link of a YouTube recording where her daughter with Deion tells her mother that the ex-NFL star assaulted their children, the link was reportedly removed by OWN networks.

Now, Pilar is speaking out against both Deion and Winfrey, the well-known media maven, whose network hosts the football star's television show.

"Now do U Believe @OWN @Oprah Supports #ChildAbuse / #DomesticViolence Why Block #Truth and Proof #DeionSanders Abuse," Pilar tweeted. "ALL THE Graphic VIDEOS ON @YouTube yet a video of #Truth w/only 528 views is pulled? It's Bigger than me n my babes.."

This is not the first time Pilar took to Twitter to accuse Deion of abuse.

Last April, a domestic altercation took place at the former couple's $5.7 million home, where each alleged that s/he was attacked by the other. However, a judge ruled that the Hall of Famer was only defending himself against Pilar's assault and awarded him custody of their children.

Deion accused Pilar of being "certified crazy" while defending himself against her recent claims.

"When a man walks away, that tells you a lot about the situation. When a man wins custody, that tells a lot about the situation," he told Bossip. " ... If you understood what transpired in court, the lies about the abuse. I mean when somebody says that you attempted to murder them, how can you kidnap your own kids and you got custody of them?"

While Deion has never shied away from speaking about his Christian faith, he admits that it may take some time to pray about the situation.

"God established me, not man nor woman. So, I ain't going nowhere," he told Bossip. "I'll pray on it ... but no time soon."
