Like I said, Sterling got severely outplayed (SEE: What Donald Sterling Did Wrong). From Mail Online:
Clippers team owner Donald Sterling has contacted his ex-girlfriend to ask 'How can we make this go away?' amid claims she has more than 100 hours of recordings, it has been reported.
V. Stiviano has insisted a racist recording in which the NBA boss allegedly tells her not to bring black people to his games is authentic but she claims she wasn't the one who leaked it to the media.
Sterling contacted Stiviano on Sunday and was told to contact her lawyer, TMZ Sports has now reported...
In the meantime, a lawsuit filed by Sterling's estranged wife of 50 years Rochelle claims to show how the Clipper’s owner treated his girlfriend before the apparent row – by lavishing her with a series of gifts including a Ferrari, two Bentleys, a Range Rover and a $1.4million apartment...
Mrs Sterling's lawsuit, which claims that her husband gave Stiviano money and presents without her consent, seeks full restitution along with unspecified compensatory damages...
According to Rochelle Sterling, before she filed her complaint in court, Donald Sterling himself had asked Stiviano to return the money and property, but the woman allegedly refused.
Stiviano's attorney, Mac Nehoray, presented a counter-argument, claiming that a gift cannot be revoked by the giver – legalese for ‘no taksies backsies.’
In a court filing, the lawyer also insisted that there is not ‘a peppercorn of a fact’ that his client committed any fraud or exercised undue influence.
Nehoray added that nowhere in Mrs Sterling’s lawsuit does it say that ‘the feminine wiles of Ms. Stiviano overpowered the iron will of’ Donald Sterling, ‘who is well known as one of the most shrewd businessmen in the world.'

My personal opinion: she's a pro. She went into the relationship prepared. She may have been hired by magic & co for the specific purpose of breaking down sterling since they had to realize that the lakers were simply not for sale. I think sterling finally realized that he was being set up and that's why his wife is suing, the easiest option for a legal clawback. Magic and co had to go public with what they had and run with it. Damage the brand, then buy it at bargain basement prices. How many players can he buy with the savings?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a pro. Karrine Steffans, aka Supa Head, considers her one of her best friends. Saw a pic of her and Bishop Don Juan. He got "got."
DeleteI don't get it. Another piece of tail takes a sucker and it's plastered all over the place like some great revelation. I learned a long time ago that playing with women like this is like playing with fire: you're going to get burned eventually. These types of women just aren't worth it, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteHow does his mistress benefit from leaking this audio? A reality TV show? I can't figure it out.
ReplyDeleteI think his pissed-off wife leaked it. She attended the game that day and made a statement to reporters distancing herself from her husband's racist views. She said she wants America to know she is not a racist. She said nothing about his mistress.
If his punishment is severe he might hand ownership to his wife. She could be making a power grab for her playboy husband's basketball team.
