Recording Could come Back To Bite Donald Sterling Girlfriend
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Recordings that cost Donald Sterling ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers could cost the woman he was dating the fortune in gifts he lavished on her.
Snippets of the conversations recorded by V. Stiviano were played Wednesday as a lawyer for Sterling’s wife explained why the former girlfriend should return more than $3.6 million the billionaire gave her in gifts that included a duplex, Ferrari, jewelry and designer clothes.
Stiviano manipulated and deceived the 80-year-old to give away community property that belongs to Shelly Sterling, his wife of nearly 60 years, attorney Pierce O’Donnell said in Los Angeles Superior Court.
“She defrauded him and I feel that she is not entitled to any of these gifts or whatever they call them,” Shelly Sterling later testified. “She’s been very, very nasty to me, and she’s been mean to my husband.”
