........."V. Stiviano, the woman heard in the recordings, was recently
sued by the Sterling family for embezzlement.
She is a "defendant in a lawsuit brought by the Sterling family alleging that she embezzled more than $1.8 million, who told Mr. Sterling that she would 'get even,'" Clippers president Andy Roeser said in a Saturday statement on behalf of Sterling that served as the first official response to the recordings.
A suit reportedly filed by Rochelle Sterling, wife of the team owner, in L.A. Superior Court on March 7 sheds light on the $1.8 million figure mentioned. It is the price of a duplex purchased by Donald Sterling for V. Stiviano, the Los Angeles Times reports from the filing. Sterling also gifted Stiviano with a Ferrari, two Bentleys and a Range Rover, the filing says.
The filing also states that Sterling's relationship with Stiviano began in 2010 and describes Rochelle Sterling as "a married woman seeking to protect and recover community property in her individual capacity," according to the L.A. Times."
(Supposedly, Donald Sterling had already asked for everything back)
[and from another LATimes article: "Stiviano’s name.. is on the grant deed for the duplex,....
If Rochelle Sterling ends up divorcing her husband, she can certainly claim that he owes her half of the money he spent on Stiviano if it she can demonstrate it came out of communal funds, according to a family law attorney with whom I consulted."]

Stiviano on the right. seems like her expression & demeanor convey "getting even", rather than a fun social pose
