Sterling Cut Off Viviano Who Then Said ‘Let The Games Began’ (SP)

Donald Sterling revoked V. Stiviano’s Clipper privileges shortly before she went crazy on him.

Sterling revoked gal pal V. Stiviano’s tickets, parking passes and luxury suite access to Los Angeles Clippers games in April, possibly touching off a crazy chain of events that ended with him losing his high-flying basketball franchise, according to the LA Times.

Shelly Sterling — the owner’s estranged wife — filed a lawsuit against Stivano in March, demanding she return a laundry list of expensive gifts that Donald Sterling had given her.

Six days after that lawsuit was filed, Donald Sterling cut off Stiviano from Clippers games. When a team employee reached out to Stiviano, she texted a seemingly enigmatic response.

“No tell Mr. Sterling that I don’t need anything nor do I want anything,” she reportedly texted. “But thanks for asking. LET THE GAMES BEGAN.”
