Report: V. Stiviano Sent Sterling Recordings To Clippers First

V. Stiviano Donald Sterling

The leaked recording of Donald Sterling’s racist remarks that were first released by TMZ, were first sent by V. Stiviano to a Clippers employee 16 days prior, according to the LA Times.   Stiviano reportedly sent a text message saying, “No tell Mr. Sterling that I don’t need anything nor do I want anything…But thanks for asking. LET THE GAMES BEGAN. . . .”

According to the report, on April 9, a Clippers staffer texted Stiviano to say her normal courtside seats would be sold to someone else for that night’s game. The seat fiasco came on the heels of Sterling’s wife, Shelly, suing Stiviano and putting a lien on the house Sterling had bought her.

Her relationship with Sterling had dissolved at that point.

Stiviano texted that it didn’t matter — another regular had given her tickets. The employee texted back: “Mr. Sterling said to let me know if you need anything. We don’t want to have any issues at the game.”

Stiviano responded: “No tell Mr. Sterling that I don’t need anything nor do I want anything…But thanks for asking. LET THE GAMES BEGAN. . . .”

Two minutes later, Stiviano sent the employee an audio file. In it, Sterling could be heard making disparaging remarks about Magic Johnson, blacks and other minorities, and how he didn’t want Stiviano associating with them publicly.

Stiviano’s lawyer maintains that she “did not make any threats,” according to the report, and was not aware of the lien on her house.
