You remember this dumb Mexican bitch. The one who leaked some
tapes that forced Donald Sterling to sell his team.

legal-fees-for-failed-lawsuit-shelly-sterling-clippers/
The woman scolded by Donald Sterling for bringing black people
to Clippers games was ordered by a judge Monday to pay more than
$50,000 in legal fees related to her failed defamation
countersuit against the billionaires wife, the Sterling family
trust and a former Clippers team entity.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard Fruin granted the
Sterling attorneys request to dismiss V. Stivianos claims in
November, which allowed the Sterling parties to seek attorneys
fees.
Attorney Caroline Heindel, who represents Shelly Sterling, L.A.
Sports Properties and the Sterling family trust, said the
countersuit alleged unclear allegations that her clients defamed
Stiviano via the national news media by calling her a thief and
claiming she embezzled funds and other properties from Donald
Sterling.
Stivianos countersuit was so vague in its details that an
Internet search was made to see if there was anything to support
her allegations, Heindel said.
Heindel sought attorneys fees and costs to compensate her
clients in getting Stivianos complaint tossed. Donald
Sterlings estranged wife asked for $40,460; the trust and L.A.
Sports Properties wanted about $19,800. The three parties also
wanted another $10,000 to pay for the additional costs related
to the motions to obtain attorneys fees.
Fruin granted the attorneys fees, but with a total of $11,500
in deductions.
Stivianos attorney, Mac Nehoray, called the amount sought by
the Sterling parties as outrageous and urged Fruin to award
far less money.
Theyre billing for something a clerk could have done, Nehoray
said.
Shelly Sterling filed a lawsuit against March 7 in an effort to
get property given to Stiviano that was jointly owned by the
Sterlings. The suit alleged Stiviano, who often attended
Clippers games with Donald Sterling, met him at the 2010 Super
Bowl and began a sexual relationship with him.
Trial of Shelly Sterlings case is scheduled for March 9.
Donald Sterling, who purchased the Clippers in 1981 for $12.5
million, was pressured to sell the team after the release of
recorded conversations between him and V. Stiviano. In those
conversations, Sterling criticized Stiviano for having her
picture taken with black people and told her not to bring them
to Clippers games.
The comments earned Sterling a lifetime ban from the NBA, which
initiated actions to strip the Clippers from him.
After a long legal battle last summer with her husband, Shelly
Sterling sold the Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer
for $2 billion.
