The woman at the center of the Donald Sterling racism scandal, the ex-Los Angeles Clippers owner’s gal pal V Stiviano, was badly beaten up by two white men in New York City on Sunday night, her lawyer has confirmed exclusively to RadarOnline.
Around 7pm, as Stiviano was leaving the Gansevoort Hotel in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, “two white men descended on her,” attorney Mac Nehorary said.
“They were about 5’7 and they knew exactly who she was. They began to hit her and called her the N word.
“Other disgusting slurs were made against her. She was able to run away and several onlookers then began attempting to apprehend the two men.”
Stiviano was taken to a doctor who examined her for possible injuries, he said.
She is expected to make a full recovery, although “one side of her face is extremely red and she is obviously very scared (about her wellbeing),” Nehorary added to Radar.
Stiviano hadn’t filed a police report yet, he added.
She “will probably do so (but) her immediate reaction was to run away from the attackers and get to safety,” Nehorary revealed.
Sterling’s alleged mistress and her lawyer are in New York to appear on CNN‘s Anderson Cooper 360 on Monday.
Sterling, 80, was banned for life from the NBA by Commissioner Adam Silver because of the controversy over the racist comments recorded by Stiviano – who, some sources insisted, was never his lover.
Last Friday, Sterling’s estranged wife, Shelly, reached an agreement to sell the Los Angeles Clippers for $2 billion, pending league approval.
This is not the first time Stiviano has faced issues since the scandal broke: As Radar detailed, she had received death threats and was forced to seek advice from a counselor to deal with the fallout of the scandal!
“V started getting death threats almost immediately after Sterling’s racist rants — which she recorded — were made public,” a source previously said.
“Most of the threats were made on social media, and this is one of the reasons why she has scaled back her activity. It has been very scary for V, and she also hired a bodyguard.”
During the outing on Sunday night, Stiviano was with a group of friends, but became separated from them as she was leaving the New York hotspot.
Stiviano will still be on Anderson Cooper’s show Monday night, Nehorary told Radar.
“No one will intimidate her,” he said.
Developing.
Exactly.
Her 15 minutes of (prostitute) fame is about to fade.

This is a big part of what's bothering me. Is the NBA still pretending to be family friendly? How about some moral indignation about hookers being so out in the open, no big deal? How about the thug lifestyles and partying with the ethnically-compatible entertainment elite? What about outrageous profits players have from selling $300 dollar sneakers cheaply made in China (etc) What about an economic environment where $2 billion is the price to buy in? Where players get millions of dollars a year, yet their supporters say it's like a plantation and the players are like slaves?
If I were raising a child now, right through HS, I'd support local and college basketball, but absolutely refuse to let that child go to NBA games or buy NBA products. It's time for people who care about decency to say "enough".
Irony can be really ironic, sometimes.
If she’s black how can they see that part of her face is red?
It's like a bad movie script written by a teenager Tawana Brawley.
What gets me about this whole situation, is that they’re now trying to convince us that Sterling is and was out of his mind for the past few years . . .
Ergo, if his recorded rants about the “Ns” were spoken by him, then they were the words of a senility affected human.
If so, then where in the hell does the NBA get off attacking this man and taking his team away? . . . huh? . . . I thought he was supposedly mentally decrepit.
And by today’s libtard definitions and standards, he should not be punished for anything . . . even murderers on death row seek clemency because they say they were mentally defective.
Is this a trendy attack by the media and NBA because 1) he’s white, 2) he’s very wealthy, 3) he’s not easy to look at, and 3) he had a gold digger on his arm that was of a protected class??????????
If he were “black”, we wouldn’t be reading about this.
AHHH, just like Sterling didn't get around to filing a police report for the illegal (in CA) taping of his conversion.
Its called drama, hard to believe drama
Looks like her story checks out:

"Diorio allegedly punched her in the face as he shouted racial slurs. She was not seriously hurt."
Now how do those facts support a headline like this? -
