Who Is Donald Sterling’s Girlfriend? [Photos]

LA Clipper's Owner Donald Sterling is banned from the NBA after the world heard his racist rant to his Black/Mexican "girlfriend". But who is she? I got all the details plus photos inside.

Her bio lists her as an ''artist, lover, writer, chef, poet, stylist, philanthropist.'' But many people are calling her a Gold-digger.

She was born as Maria Vanessa Perez in 1982. In 2010 she legally changed her name to a less racially defining name, V. Stiviano. Interesting enough, this is the same year she met Donald Sterling at Super bowl.

In court she said this as her reason for wanting the change; "Born from a rape case and having yet been fully accepted because of my race.' - Yeah ok.

Girl obviously has an identity issue within herself. From the first time I heard the tape of her and Sterling talking, I was stunned that she felt the need to apologize for her appearance and accepted his request to disregard her blackness.

As a mixed person myself, I am appalled by this BS!

In March, Sterling's wife, Rochelle, sued V. Stiviano, claiming she had received more than $2.5 million in lavish gifts from the Clippers owner including a $1.8 million duplex, a Ferrari, two Bentleys and a Range Rover.
