A source close to Donald Sterling's alleged-former girlfriend tells me that V. Stiviano's lawyers are ecstatic about the statement issued by the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday.
In the statement, Clippers President Andy Roeser charges that Stiviano, in a lawsuit, is alleged to have embezzled more than $1.8 million from the Sterling family. There is, in fact, no charge of embezzlement in the only suit against Stiviano, brought by Mrs. Sterling. The lawsuit seeks the return of gifts, chiefly expensive automobiles and a condominium, given to Stiviano by Sterling, but there is no embezzlement charge.
My source tells me, "The Clippers are going to pay big time for that statement."
Stiviano's lawyers also believe that Sterling is not worth in the generally reported range of $1.9 billion, but rather between $12 billion and $17 billion.
I am scratching my head on this one, but it also appears that Stiviano is going to claim that she was not Sterling's girlfriend, but merely an archivist for Sterling. EPJ has confirmed that Stiviano has over 100 hours of tapes and that the tapes include conversation that Stiviano's lawyers believe will be able to be used to "refresh Sterling's memory" that she was hired as an archivist, and with regard to other matters.
Does being an "archivist" legalize blackmail under California law?
ReplyDeleteHow can the estimate of his net worth be off by that much?
ReplyDeleteGold-Digging attorneys working in conjunction with the State.
DeleteSee IRS .
Why would an employer give his archivist employee Ferraris and Bentlyes?
ReplyDeleteIf my employee represented my firm to the media, she would certainly not be driving around a ChevyVolt.
DeleteIf she were his girlfriend, wouldn't he have noticed when undoing her bra that she was wearing a wire?
ReplyDeleteThis is some CIA type stuff. Send a hot girl in. Make him feel at ease. Record everything he says. He's bound to say something that you can use against him...and boom. Lawsuits.
This is beginning to look like a mere disgruntled employee against a billionaire employer.
ReplyDeleteA BIGOTED employer.(not necessarily a racist one).
.
I don't think Sterling "hit" it.
As an obviously successful businessman that HAD to join the pro-sport team owner fat rich bastard club, he's enjoying the innuendos that he did.
He'll support 50 lawyer/looters for a decade for the price of scoffing in their general direction.....and laugh.
(it would be cool if Sterling sold out and told the PC NBA to FO, Hired twenty 7 foot Chinese players and challenged the NBA).
.
Time will tell.
That gold digging whore should be prosecuted for blackmail. But no one will care since the victim is wealthy and said something *gasp* RACIST!
ReplyDeleteyou would think that all recordings made an employe would be confidential under a non-disclosure agreement signed at time of hiring. this smells so much like a PR- hit on sterling. force a sale to magic and his backers.
ReplyDeleteevery one should be entitled to their own opinion if spoken in private.
