AUDIO: Hear Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Ask His Girlfriend Not Be Seen with Black People
"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?"
by Penny Arévalo
In the midst of a very successful season, Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is attracting attention for a completely different reason: an audio tape in which he chastises his girlfriend for posting an Instagram photo of herself with an African-American ... Magic Johnson.
Ironically, the girlfriend, V. Stiviano, is Hispanic and African-American. Sterling tells her it's OK to hang out with family or other people of color, privately.
He also tells her not to bring Magic Johnson to a Clippers game.
TMZ first published the audio (heard above). It reports it was recorded during an April 9 discussion between the two.
Sterling is a Beverly Hills resident and runs an office out of Beverly Hills as well.
