Donald Sterling Speaks Out & Shows No Signs Of Remorse: ‘I Wish I Had Just Paid Her Off’
Donald Sterling is finally speaking out!
During a recent discussion with a Los Angeles monthly, the Clippers owner opened up about the ugly scandal surrounding his life and basketball team. Instead of showing remorse for the racist rant published by TMZ last week, Sterling owned up to his words and said he wished he would have made a different move. When it comes to his ex-mistress V. Stiviano, he told DuJour Magazine, “I wish I had just paid her off.”
That was the only quote released thus far from what the publication calls an exclusive interview. DuJour added that the billionaire bigot is not done talking yet. He’s also lined up interviews with Barbara Walters, Anderson Cooper and the NBA.
Apparently this guy doesn’t think he said, or did, anything wrong!

*V. Stiviano, the woman at the center of the Donald Sterling racism controversy is speaking out in an exclusive interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters. The Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s confidante Walters that she thinks he should apologize for his racist remarks.
“Yes. Absolutely,” Stiviano, 31, said when Walters asked her during an exclusive television interview in Los Angeles.
“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.”
When asked if she thought Sterling will make a public apology, Stiviano replied, “God only knows.”
In the interview with Walters, Stiviano is seen full-face, so to speak, sans her the visor thingy she been wearing when in public because it supposedly made it “easier to mask the pain.”
What people are still dying to know is how audio recordings of Sterling’s racist rant were released. Stiviano, who was on the receiving end of Sterling’s rant on the leaked tapes and describes herself as black and Mexican, told Walters she did record their conversations, and shared them with friends. Stiviano said a friend leaked the audio.
But, she said, this rant — in which Sterling told Stiviano not to “promote” her relationship with black people or “bring them to my games,” — “was not the first time” they had these conversations.
“There’s been a number of occasions where Mr. Sterling and I had conversations just like this one. This was one of very many,” she said. “Part of what the world heard was only 15 minutes. There’s a number of other hours that the world doesn’t know.”
Stiviano denied having a romantic relationship with Sterling, saying she is his personal assistant and sees Sterling as “a father figure” — calling herself his “silly rabbit.” She claims that people around Sterling would say negative things about her to him, saying they “poison his mind and heart about things about me,” which would drive him to say certain things.
Despite the controversy around his comments, she said he is not a racist.
“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,” Stiviano 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.”
So now she says he’s not a racist and that she is his right arm man not a mistress. LOL! She’s getting PAID ain’t she! Very smart girl but he still a racist pig!
Twitter Beef Alert: Mike Epps Says Kevin Hart Is Overrated & Kev Goes IN!
Mike Epps called Kevin Hart overrated in a radio interview this morning and let’s just say Kev didn’t take to that too lightly.
During a chit-chat with K104 in Dallas, Mike said the Think Like A Man Too star is the most overrated comedian in the game right now. “In this business right here, sometimes marketing can be bigger than talent,” he said. “This business is not about being funny. This business is about being forced on people. You can be forced on people and be really, really funny. If the business was based on being funny none of these suckers would be in it.”
When Kevin found out about Mike’s diss, he went in on Twitter. “Just heard @TheRealMikeEpps called me “Overrated” on the radio this AM! I missed it bcuz I was on set “WORKING”do u remember what that is?” he shared with his 10.5 million followers. “Don’t talk 2 me until u start selling out ARENA’S @TheRealMikeEpps if ur shows aren’t sellin & u need sum help maybe I will send out a TWEET.”
In response, Mike wrote a series of incoherent tweets. “@KevinHart4real tell everybody that you sacrificed your man hood for fame nigga and you beg me to be open up fo for me before you got on,” he rambled. “If it wasn’t for the social media @KevinHart4real would not be present he was forced on you fans trough the web your gone to realize.”
Boy I’d hate for Kevin to go in on me! Mike done mucked up ain’t he? They aint eeven on the same level of funny…I feel bad for poor Mike. But he started it…
‘SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’ ACTRESS
BLASTED BY EBONY HONCHO
‘You’re An Embarrassment’
A “Saturday Night Live” actress is under attack by the senior editor of Ebony.com — who claims a bit she performed on the show where she joked about being a “Number 1 slave draft pick” is an “embarrassment.”
The woman in the crosshairs is Leslie Jones — who performed the bit during the Weekend Update of SNL … and essentially said in slave days, she would have been the most popular woman on the plantation for forced slave breeding.
“See, I’m single right now, but back in the slave days, I would have never been single. I’m six feet tall and I’m strong, Colin. Strong! I mean, look at me, I’m a mandingo … I’m just saying that back in the slave days, my love life would have been way better. Massah would have hooked me up with the best brotha on the plantation … I would be the No. 1 slave draft pick.”
But after the sketch, the backlash began — with Ebony.com senior editor Jamilah Lemieux tweeting, “This Leslie Jones person is an embarrassment @msmarypryor. I’m so appalled right now.”
Jones fired back on Sunday — writing, “If anybody should be offended is white folks cause it’s what they did.”
“Y’all so busy trying to be self righteous you miss what the joke really is. Very sad I have to defend myself to black people. Now I’m betting if Chris Rock or Dave [Chappelle] did that joke or jay z or Kanye put in a rap they would be called brilliant. Cause they all do this type of material. Just cause it came from a strong black woman who ain’t afraid to be real y’all mad.”
“So here is my announcement black folks, you won’t stop me and Im gonna go even harder and deeper now. Cause it’s a shame that we kill each other instead of support each other. This exactly why black people are where we are now cause we too f***** sensitive and instead of make lemonade out of lemons we just suck the sour juice from the lemons. Wake up.”
You know there are always gonna be some black folks that have something to say about what some other black folks got to say or do. Well I don’t know what’s wrong with the joke but I do know that Ebony is givin it WAY more publicity to the show then it ever would have gotten had they not said anything.
