Sterling was suing this girlfriend, and this was a tactic to get revenge on her part. Its just some dirt that went viral, not part of "The Plan."
Correction. Sterling’s wife was suing the girlfriend because in California she owns 50% of her husband’s assets. So when she found out her hubby gave her cash and property she sued the golddigger for return of “the wife’s property”.
Excerpt: The wife of Clippers owner Donald Sterling filed a lawsuit Friday against a woman she alleged had a sexual affair with her husband.
The suit filed by Rochelle Sterling also alleged that the woman, identified in court documents only as V. Stiviano, was also given lavish gifts by Donald Sterling, including property and cash.
