V. Stiviano just dropped a major bombshell – she says that Donald Sterling is gay and she was his “beard,” according to TMZ.

The woman at the center of the major scandal earlier this year filed a lawsuit in response to allegations made by Shelly Sterling that she accepted pricey goods like cars and property from Donald even though he did not have the authority to give them to her.

V. says that she was given the goods because she was Donald‘s beard and that Shelly knew about it. She also claims that she was “not ever a sexual partner of Donald T. Sterling” and “believes that [Sterling] is a homosexual and enjoys sexual acts and or sexual congress with males.”

The lawsuit says that Shelly was “acutely aware of [Donald's] sexual orientation and condoned same as well as acknowledged and approved [Donald's] gifts of money [to Stiviano].”

V. is also suing Shelly for defamation and wants no less than $10 million.

V. Stiviano, the woman at the center of the Donald Sterling incident, was attacked in New York City by two unidentified men on Sunday evening (June 1).

“Two white men descended on her,” attorney Mac Nehorary told Radar about his client who was leaving a hotel in the Meatpacking district. “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.”

V. is expected to make a full recovery, but, “one side of her face is extremely red and she is obviously very scared (about her well being).”

Our thoughts go out to V. during this time – we wish her a speedy recovery!

V. Stiviano sits down for her first interview since her conversation with Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, in which he said some racist remarks, was leaked to the press.

She was asked if she thinks he should apologize for his remarks and she responded, “Yes. Absolutely.”

“I think he’s highly more traumatized and hurt by the things that he said himself,” she added. “I think he can’t even believe or understand sometimes the thing he says, and I think he’s hurt by it. He’s hurting right now.”

V. said that she does not have romantic relationship with Donald and only loves him “like a father figure.”

“I think Mr. Sterling is from a different generation than I am. I think he was brought up to believe these things … segregation, whites and blacks,” she said. “But through his actions he’s shown that he’s not a racist. He’s shown to be a very generous and kind man.”
