V. Stiviano, the woman whom Donald Sterling was talking to when he made racist remarks, is "very saddened" by his lifetime NBA ban, and she didn't release the recording of their conversation, her lawyer said Tuesday.

Stiviano "never wanted any harm to Donald," Siamak Nehoray of Calabasas told the Los Angeles Times.

Somebody released it "for money," but it wasn't Stiviano, the attorney said.

"My client is devastated that this got out," he said.

1. i hope it turns out that she didn't release it

that aspect was very depressing to me, it would be nice to find out it was someone else.

2. i hope it turns out that she didn't release it

Not buying it. So someone snuck in and made that recording?

[zonkers]

6. Here's what happened (my guess). She played the recording back for her

friends to show them what kind of crap she had to endure in that relationship (I believe they were broken up at the time). Light bulb goes off in friend's head. Sell it for cash/expose a powerful racist. Win Win. 10 grand a billion tweets later.... here we are.

3. wow so there is a shakedown, they mentioned the attorney taking the fifth which was interesting...nt

4. She is seriously demented......

1. She is of mixed race (Caucasian and African American)
2. His comments are despicable
3. Ownership of an NBA team and participation in NBA activities is subject to the bylaws of the organization

He needs to be driven out of town on a rail.

[Iggo]

8. Tell me more about this mixed-race dementia.

[Mike Daniels]

9. I think the point the poster tried to make is the "girlfriend" seems to be defending the ass-clown

despite being of a racial make-up that offends Sterling when it's possessed by someone he's not screwing.

5. She's very sad because someone released it "for money", but it wasn't her.

I think her attorney phrased it exactly right.

Or to say she didn't sell the tape to the leaker? Or to say the LAWYER didn't arrange for the leak?

10. I don't know how the tape came out

but I wouldn't be surprised if she had more to do with it than the statement from her lawyer says. It's a shame that the final straw that broke the camel's back and got him thrown out came from a tape and not directly out of his mouth. Either way it's a good thing he's not going to be involved with the NBA anymore.

11. Even journalist have to be careful about recording telephone conversations

Thirty-eight states and the District of Columbia permit individuals to record conversations to which they are a party without informing the other parties that they are doing so. These laws are referred to as "one-party consent states, and as long as you are a party to the conversation, it is legal for you to record it.

Twelve states require, under most circumstances, the consent of all parties to a conversation. Yep, one of the twelve is California.

In California, is consent required of all parties to record? Yes

In Cali, are there criminal penalties for recording without consent? Yes

In Cali, does the statute allow for civil suits for recording without consent? Yes

In Cali, are there additional penalties for disclosing or publishing information recorded without consent? Yes

That's why, even journalists, have to be careful about obtaining and publishing recorded telephone conversation.

12. If she didn't do it, why doesn't SHE say so?

And who's to say that she didn't arrange to leak it, through a publicist, or uh, an attorney? She's also being sued by Sterling's wife, so it would be killing two birds with one stone.

Besides, if she didn't make or leak the tape, she must have an idea of who did -- she must know who else was in the house at the time.

On edit: Here's her new "look" -- and is that one of those credit card sliders on top of her phone?

14. "Stiviano's lawyer said his client was a hardworking young woman

who supported herself working as a waitress and who volunteered to help crime victims, before signing on to work as an archivist for Sterling. He did not elaborate on what the archivist job entailed. Stiviano also helped Sterling manage his charities, a job her attorney said she greatly enjoyed and now misses."

Well, of course she misses it -- look at how well she was paid!

bragging...'Skeletons in Closet' and 'It's all coming out!'"

Model Vanessa Stiviano, 31, at center of Donald Sterling race hate scandal after recording his rants

Brought up in San Antonio, Texas...by a mother once convicted of using three of her kids to help her steal $113 from a supermarket

Moved to California...and attended the same East LA high school as Sterling and his estranged wife

Stayed in LA to seek fame and fortune and believes to have had plastic surgery to improve her 'below average looks'

Linked to Jerry Buss, late Lakers owner...a notorious ladies man...amid claims he also gave her a job

Changed her name in 2010..."Born from a rape case and having yet been fully accepted because of my race."

In a 2011 charity luncheon ad, Stiviano was listed as a director of the Donald T. Sterling Charitable Foundation, with Sterling as chairman, according to the LA Times

A whore is a whore is whore. Don't cry for her, Argentina...

16. UPDATE: V loses home, $800K to Sterling's Wife

Last edited Wed Jun 3, 2015, 09:37 AM - Edit history (3)

USA Today (4/15/15): Shelly Sterling...(t)he billionaire wife of former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling...got her revenge...in Los Angeles Superior Court...V. Stiviano (must) surrender a $1.8 million duplex and return $800,000 lavished on her in cash handouts and several luxury cars, including a Ferrari...Sterling initially sought about $3.6 million from Stiviano...

Sterling claimed that Stiviano seduced her 80-year-old husband and manipulated him to give up community property the couple amassed through a real estate rental empire built over six decades of marriage...Judge Richard Fruin Jr. rejected arguments by Stiviano's lawyer that the gifts were made when Donald and Shelly Sterling were separated and that Shelly Sterling couldn't seek them from a third party...

With the NBA threatening to seize (The Clippers), Shelly Sterling got hold of a family trust by showing her husband had signs of Alzheimer's disease...Donald Sterling, who was incredulous that his wife had described them at one point as being estranged, referred to the 32-year-old Stiviano as an "ex-friend..."

So she comes out of it $800K ahead minus legal fees -- not bad for two and a half years' work. And the ruling came down on Income Tax Day -- beware of the Ides Of April, Stivvy! Meanwhile, back to Instagram to pimp her way to her next sugar daddy...

ON EDIT: And speaking of her Instagram account, she mentions that "I dismissed the charges against the man who assaulted me" in New York City last June:

VIOLENCE is not the answer but neither is JAIL...Don't allow the way you feel influence the way you think...People are entitled to make mistakes and I'm entitled to forgive them. LOVE is my only motivation.

Which doesn't quite square with this news story:

Dominick Diorio got a conditional dismissal deal in Manhattan Criminal Court after prosecutors said there was little to corroborate claims made by V. Stiviano, the former mistress of the disgraced former Los Angeles Clippers owner...His case will be dismissed and sealed after six months of good behavior...
