All of the media frenzy surrounding V. Stiviano, the mistress of Donald Sterling who rose to fame after exposing the Clippers owner’s racist rant, may now be affecting her personal safety. Two white men allegedly attacked the woman in Manhattan Sunday night, according to her attorney.
Mac Nehoray, Stiviano’s lawyer, says she was reportedly punched by the men, who also yelled at her using the N-word and other racial epithets, after she left a restaurant near the Gansevoort Hotel in the Meatpacking District at 7 p.m. “The two men who attacked her punched her on the right side of her face several times,” said Nehoray.
According to a bouncer at the hotel, Stiviano was caught in the middle of a brawl in which “fists were thrown.” It’s unclear what role Stiviano had in the fight.
RadarOnline, which first delivered the info, said Stiviano saw a doctor but did not file a police report.
Although Stiviano, who is Mexican and Black American, brought Sterling’s racism to a larger audience outside the NBA and was the victim of an alleged bias attack, she’s not as racially tolerant as some would assume. Back in 2011, she auditioned for a reality TV series in development about mistresses and went on a rant about Black people being wasteful with money. Check it out below.
