I recently had the opportunity of interviewing Pilar
Sanders. Prior to becoming Mrs. Sanders, Pilar was a former high fashion model. The former Football Wives star talks about fashion, health,
fitness, and reality TV. Pilar
also talks a bit about her current ongoing public divorce with retired NFL
star Deion Sanders exclusively to iRealHousewives.
iRH: Hi Pilar, welcome to iRealHousewives. You have made a name for yourself as a high fashion model doing both print and runway modeling. How you were originally discovered?
PS: I was discovered while walking on the beach with my
sister.
iRH: How would you describe your fashion style?
PS: Total Pstyle! (my style) I love fabrics that feel
amazing, Hug you in all of the right places and those you can cozy up to. I'm
not a person who falls for fads because they fade to fast. Instead I will
always be into whatever feels good, looks great and compliments me.
iRH: What are some of your favorite fashion designers?
PS: Roberto Cavalli, Versace, Chanel
iRH: Before doing Football Wives you and Deion had you’re own
reality show on Oxygen. How did that come about?
PS: Deion was shopping for his very own show, so one of the
producers came to the house to film a day in Deion's life and saw me in the
kitchen (where I spent 95% of my time) asked him if they could interview me,
Deion loitered around me during the interview and showed out (as he normally
does) and they caught my reactions on tape and basically that bantering
chemistry sold the family show instead of a show solely about him. hhmmmmm!
iRH: Doing a reality show already, did you had any
hesitation doing Football Wives?
PS: Not at all, however I am very skeptical when it comes to
the integrity of the production company I would work/co-produce with and of
course the intentions, total depth and integrity of the entire cast as well.
iRH: How would describe your experience on VH1's “Football
Wives”?
PS: Like eating bad garlic, unfortunately the intangible
fetor just haunts you and lurks around ever corner, similar to a never ending
'Night of The Living Dead'.
iRH: I know you’re currently going through a very tough
public divorce. Anything you would like to address or comment on this to your
fans?
PS: Every one who has lifted myself and children up in
prayer and have helped us,.. words alone could never express my sincere
gratitude! I thank God for their support everyday and pray that He
supernaturally and abundantly blesses all of my family, friends, fans and
supporters who've been their for us.
iRH: Any advice you would like give to other women who are
currently going through the same situation?
PS: Women should first off know that they are not alone.
More women than you could imagine go through this type of unwarranted
circumstance which instinctually results in immediate shame and silence. Women
often stay and stay silent from fear of their and their children's safety and
for their lives! Don't stay silent or isolated stand and fight for what is
right, but fight smart (not with violence)
Relentless threats and every type of abuse from emotional, financial, physical, mental to social men and their family/friends usually use to intimidate and control their environment and the people within it. This is what you need to break away from in order to live, become stabilized and to have a chance to fulfill your purpose.
iRH: What has been the hardest part of going through a very
public divorce?
PS: The toughest part has been watching my children and my
family suffer thru public humiliation, slander, isolation, blatant lies and not
be able to do anything about it. For me to stand and fight such a public figure
and legend and to fight for my rights, freedom and the truth has been socially
accepted at all. Being forced to a position where I have no other choice but to
expose and relive very horrible frightening experiences in my marriage to
simply prove my sanity or to justify why I lived such a private, closed and
greatly misunderstood life is both
iRH: What's the biggest misconception that people have about
you?
PS: That I'm mean or stuck up and very serious. In all
actuality I'm a big kid and I love having fun and I'm always joking around.
iRH: I know health and fitness is your main motivation and
passion besides being a mother. Any quick tips you can give to my readers?
PS: To get in touch and listen to and take care of your
body! It tells you everything you need to know!
iRH: Are there any charities that you support?
PS: I am beginning to work with a few Domestic Violence
groups and legislation to fight for the rights of women and their children
iRH: Can you tell us what next for you? Any upcoming
projects that you can tell us?
PS: Finally living my dreams! I have been and still am in
the process of nurturing the seeds God planted in me a while ago. I have so
much that has been kept away, but it all will be unleashed very soon.
iRH: Anything you would like to say to your fans?
PS: Kisses, hugs, I love you and thank you and I am hard at
work preparing to give them what they've been asking for.....(laughs) :)
