Sanders' 19-year-old daughter fired off a serious of Tweets on Wednesday and first apologized to her father.
"First and foremost I would like to apologize for what is about to happen. My dad is going to be very upset at me for he always takes the higher route," Deiondra tweeted. "With that being said SORRY DADDY."
Deion’s daughter explained her reasoning for speaking negatively about Pilar on Twitter.
“Now my dad has been nothing but great to Pilar. Her, nor her mom have worked in over 11 years," she tweeted. "Normally I just sit back and watch all her lies and mess but it's to where she's getting personal. She is trying to slander my Daddy's name. #Stopit."
Deiondra then attempted to start trending topics challenging Pilar’s claim that she did not know about the divorce, her stepmother’s claim to make her family a priority when she allegedly did not allow the children with different mothers to interact, and alleging that Pilar had stepped outside of her marriage.
“She stays trying to slander my daddy’s name, the same name that made her famous," Deiondra said.
However, her brother Deion Jr. took a different approach to the situation.
“I apologize for what my sister Deiondra Sanders is saying. Me and my dad choose the high route,” Deion Jr. tweeted. “We will definitely keep Ms. Pilar in our prayers. Once again I tweet it, let go and let God!"
