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.
However did they recognize her??
Her greatest fear...
She doesn't want to be recognized except when she does.
Her logic seems to be, the time to put up the paparazzi shield is when you are being trailed by the paparazzi. The rest of the time, you want to be recognized by (but hopefully not assaulted by) the target audience.
No video? In a world full of cell phones?
Probably why she got the ballcap made.
How could they have possibly known who she was?....
she was videotaped mocking blacks and then made up the attack claim for cover
Was an ambulance called for her? Or did she just have a cab take her to the hospital in order to document that she got hit?
If she really was beaten by two guys, I would have expected her to have received more serious injuries than reported.
I tell you, even as a lowly millionaire I could do a lot better than that. What’s the name of his seeing-eye dog?
Where’s Revvy Sharpyton when you need him? Calling Tawanna Brawley!!!!
Yeah, I hear ya.
Wouldn’t put it past her PR to counter the news of HER racist statements.
This, like most of these claims is probably a hoax.
winner !
There's the first clue this was staged for media attention. It's like a bad movie script written by a teenager.
I don't believe a word out of her mouth.
Were they Hobbits?
“Sorry don’t believe it NEXT story please!”
No one would know who she is in that outfit!
What an attention whore.
Great likeness!
Good eye!
