    Stiviano on tape saying black people are ‘crazy’ and ‘stupid’

    Pot, meet kettle.

    The weird companion of embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling called blacks “crazy” in a video she made for a reality-show pilot about — wait for it — gold diggers.


    “I don’t understand black people. The minute you give them a little bit of money, they don’t know what to do with it,” V. Stiviano tells the camera in the short clip.


    They “just act crazy. They want to put extra rims. They’re like, ‘Yo, I wanna put extra rims on top of my rims. And my rims are gonna turn around. I’m gonna call them, what? Spinners,’ ” she rambles.


    “They do stupid s–t like that when there’s people starving all over the world.”


    In another part of the video first reported by TMZ, Stiviano — who is half Mexican and half black — holds an Elmo doll, looks at it and says, “We don’t like black people.”


    Stiviano shot to infamy last month when a recording of Sterling telling her not to associate with blacks became public.


    Sterling has now filed a $1 billion lawsuit after the being banned by the NBA and forced to sell the Clippers.

    V. Stiviano assaulted in New York City, lawyer says

    By Joe Sutton, CNN
    updated 8:01 AM EDT, Mon June 2, 2014


    V. Stiviano was assaulted by two men as she left a restaurant, her lawyer says.

    STORY HIGHLIGHTS

    • The assault left her face swollen, her lawyers says
    • She didn't immediately file a police report


    (CNN) -- V. Stiviano, whose tape recording of Donald Sterling ranting against African-Americans led to his NBA lifetime ban, was assaulted by two men outside a New York hotel Sunday night, her lawyer told CNN.

    The assault took place as Stiviano was leaving a restaurant by the Gansevoort Hotel with her sister and friends.


    The men followed her, yelling racial slurs, said Stiviano's attorney Mac Nehoray.

    Tax trouble for Sterling's friend?


    Stiviano's friends say she wanted fame

    They punched her several times, leaving the right side of her face red and swollen, he said.

    Stiviano didn't immediately file a police report, because "she had to get out of there," Nehoray said.


    "I believe she will file a police report Monday," he said.

    The incident comes after video surfaced on TMZ that showed Stiviano making disparaging remarks about African-Americans. "I don't understand black people. You give them a little bit of money, they don't know what to do with it," she says in the video that purportedly dates back to 2011 as part of a reality show pilot, TMZ said. CNN reached out to Nehoray for comment on the video but has not received a response.

    Sterling's inflammatory remarks to Stiviano spawned outrage among NBA fans, players and executives.


    In the recording, Sterling chastises Stiviano for posting pictures online of herself with African-Americans, including NBA legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson. He tells her not to bring Johnson to Clippers games.


    NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling from the league, fined him $2.5 million and pushed through a charge to terminate all of his ownership rights in the franchise.


    On Friday, Sterling made it clear that he wasn't going away, suing the NBA for more than $1 billion for its decision.

    Official: Suspect in alleged Stiviano assault surrenders

    By Joe Sutton and Shimon Prokupecz, CNN
    updated 10:52 AM EDT, Tue June 3, 2014

    After a recording of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling making racist remarks was released in April 2014, he was fined and banned from NBA games for life. But he's not the only well-known figure who has served as a lighting rod for discussion on race and identity.

    HIGH LIGHTS

    • Long Island man turns himself in to police, source says
    • Police had spoken to the man the night of the alleged attack
    • V. Stiviano says two men yelled at, hit her


    (CNN) -- One of the men believed by police to be involved in an attack on V. Stiviano, whose tape recording of Donald Sterling ranting against African-Americans led to his NBA lifetime ban, surrendered Tuesday to police, a New York Police Department official familiar with the investigation told CNN.

    Police had interviewed the 40-year-old Long Island man at the time of the incident Sunday, the police official said.


    The development comes a day after Stiviano filed a formal police complaint in the alleged assault outside a New York hotel.


    Stiviano says two men followed her yelling racial slurs, then punched her several times. The blows left the right side of her face red and swollen, Stiviano's attorney, Mac Nehoray said.

    Stiviano's friends say she wanted fame

    "We understand that there are now two videos of the assault that have been located," her lawyer's office said in a statement. "In addition, several witnesses have been come forward with relevant and critical information regarding the facts surrounding the incident and the identity of the assailants."

    The assault took place as Stiviano was leaving a restaurant by the Gansevoort Hotel with her sister and friends.


    It also came after video surfaced on TMZ that showed Stiviano making disparaging remarks about African-Americans. "I don't understand black people. You give them a little bit of money, they don't know what to do with it," she says in the video that purportedly dates back to 2011 as part of a reality show pilot, TMZ said. CNN reached out to Nehoray for comment on the video but has not received a response.


    Earlier, Stiviano recorded inflammatory remarks by Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team, which spawned outrage among NBA fans, players and executives.


    In the recording, Sterling chastises Stiviano for posting pictures online of herself with African-Americans, including NBA legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson. He tells her not to bring Johnson to Clippers games.

    Donald Sterling loses preliminary ruling; Clippers sale on?

    Josh Peter, USA TODAY Sports6:20 p.m. EDT July 28, 2014

    LOS ANGELES — Shelly Sterling – and the Los Angeles Clippers – scored a clean sweep over Donald Sterling on Monday when a California judge issued a preliminary ruling that paves the way for the $2 billion sale of the team.

    Judge Michael Levanas handed down an "oral tentative statement decision" that affirmed Shelly Sterling had the authority to reach an agreement in May to sell the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who has set an Aug. 15 deadline to complete the deal. The judge said he would review objections before issuing a written ruling.


    "We are pleased that the court has affirmed Shelly Sterling's right to sell the Los Angeles Clippers to Steve Ballmer," said Mike Bass, the NBA executive vice president, communications. " We look forward to the transaction closing as soon as possible."


    Even if Donald Sterling continues to fight, included in the judge's ruling is a key provision in California trust law that allows Shelly Sterling to proceed with the sale of the team "as if no appeal were pending," according to provision 1310(b).


    "Rochelle's testimony was far and away more credible than Donald," Levanas said. "Donald's answers were often evasive and, in one instance, were inconsistent with his previous testimony."


    After plenty of animated testimony in the weeks-long case, Levanas said the evidence showed that Shelly followed provisions of the Sterling Family Trust in having Donald examined by two doctors – who both found he was mentally incapacitated – and subsequently removed as co-trustee; that she has the authority to complete the sale of the team even though Donald revoked the trust June 9; and that the matter was urgent.


    The probate court decision also could resolve potential controversy, with members of the Clippers talking about a potential boycott and coach Doc Rivers considering stepping down if Donald Sterling remains owner when the 2014-15 season starts in October.


    Donald Sterling has two other suits pending in the matter — one contending his wife and Ballmer violated corporate law and the other seeking more than $1 billion in damages from the NBA.


    NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the league would move to strip the Sterlings' ownership if the sale was not final by Sept. 15. Silver banned Donald Sterling from the league for life and fined him $2.5 million in April after an audio recording of racist comments by Sterling were leaked to TMZ.com.


    Lawyers for the two sides sparred while presenting closing arguments. Hammering the theme that Donald was defrauded when Shelly had him removed as a trustee, attorney Max Blecher said, "The petitioner's hands are not unclear, they're filthy ... Damn the trust agreement. She was his wife, she was his co-trustee and she had an obligation...to be completely candid with him.''


    Pierce O'Donnell, one of Shelly's attorneys, fired back: "Donald Sterling was properly removed and this scheme that Mr. Blecher talks about, that he concocts, when looked at objectively, the facts show Shelly Sterling scrupulously followed the (trust) that Donald Sterling agreed to.''
