V. Stiviano, the woman heard on recordings speaking to Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling when he made the racist comments that earned him a lifetime ban from the NBA, is now the subject of a criminal probe, according to reports.

The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office is investigating accusations that Stiviano sought money from Sterling to stop her from releasing more recordings, sources told KABC in Los Angeles. Someone linked to Sterling went to the DA's office to make the blackmail accusation, the source said.

In addition, KABC is reporting that Sterling's estranged wife, Rochelle, could become a witness in the investigation.
