Here’s the Lawsuit Against V. Stiviano That May Have Set Off the Donald Sterling Mess
NY Mag ^ | April 29, 2014 | Joe Coscarelli

Posted on 04/30/2014 8:03:13 AM PDT by Hotlanta Mike

While we don't know exactly happened between L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his presumably now-ex-girlfriend V. Stiviano that led to the release of his racist rantings, it can be safely assumed that it was ugly. It could have also had something to do with a lawsuit filed by Sterling's wife, Rochelle, on March 7, in California. Sterling's partner for more than half a century, Rochelle claims that Stiviano "engages in conduct designed to target, befriend, seduce, and then entice, cajole, borrow from, cheat, and/or receive as gifts transfers of wealth from wealthy older men whom she targets for such purpose." Donald, she alleges, was a particularly big fish.

As reported, Sterling allegedly met Stiviano in Miami during the 2010 Super Bowl and has since given her a $1.8 million apartment, two Bentleys, a Ferrari, a Range Rover, and piles of cash, "without the knowledge, consent or authorization of his wife," the suit claims.

Frankly, I don’t give a crap what he said, to whom or when he said it in what context. It’ll cost him some notoriety (the good kind) and it may cost him a few dollars. But in the end, he’ll still have enough money left over to do whatever the hell he wants, when he want’s it. He’ll even have enough bucks left over to get him another 30 something model, etc. or to reconcile with his wife.

This is a big nothing to me.

There seem to be conflicting reports on whether there was consent to the recording.

Some are saying that Sterling was elderly and frequently forgetful so he asked her to record their conversations.

That could simply be reactionary mis/dis information by the media, as paid lib trolls monitored conservative sites and noted the issue around illegal recordings.

Stiviano is possibly the most expensive hooker in history

And Sterling is getting what he deserves

Yes its a big nothing...but note how it is being used in the media.

First, its a distraction from important things...as an example, FOIA information came out this week that should be the lead story on every network, but I haven’t even seen it.

Next, it gives the grievance industry a new bogeyman. Yesterday the head of the NBA player union made a statement that this should let everybody know “if it can happen to Sterling, it can happen to anyone”. In other words - nobody is allowed to talk about race.

Last night on Nightline, they used the term “racist rant” twice. It wasn’t a rant. The gold-digger cajoled and pried until she got the words she wanted. Sure he’s a racist...but it was hardly a rant. So why would ABC stretch the truth? It furthers an agenda.

Then Nightline went a step further. They played the audio. But it wasn’t the raw audio I had heard before...in which he sounds meek, almost defeated, is trying to chose his words carefully. Instead, they doctored it up...took out his pauses, made his voice sound booming. I think they even sped it up a tad. Just getting mileage out of it to press an agenda.

This whole episode has been a case study in how the media can “slut shame” whomever they want. The second somebody falls out of line, they can be destroyed.

That part is both scary and interesting to me.

Of course you are right. In this instance it is being used to deflect the news arising out of FOIA demands and results that indicate the Benghazi coverup and misinformation campaign extends right on up to Obama himself.

There is nothing even remotely ‘Watergate-esque’ about this. It extends infinitely beyond - that to utter Muslim complicity and treachery against our country.

Stifiano was conducting her own investigation. That’s the line Congress vermin use when they’re stung.

You can tell by the line of questioning that he was being set-up. Viagra-old man’s Kryptonite!

No. The girls in Hustler are reasonably good-looking.
