Vanessa Stiviano, the alleged girlfriend of disgraced Clippers owner Donald Sterling, has a mass of different things going on these days. She’s become one of the most searched figures on the Internet since her phone conversation with Sterling was released online, and led to swift and severe punishment from the NBA.
Multiple celebs looking to purchase the Clippers
Sterling was heard online scolding Stiviano for taking pictures with black people and posting them on Instagram—those people included NBA legend Magic Johnson and Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp. The tape caused Sterling to be banned for life from an association with the NBA, and for commissioner Adam Silver to push for a forced sale of the team.
Stiviano is now shying from the spotlight, even going as far as to be seen in public with a bizarre visor fit for a Chromeo concert. Her Instagram remains active though, full of hashtags regarding a trip to Stagecoach 2014, a country music festival.
While she’s out taking in the tunes, Sterling is likely preparing for war with the NBA over his ownership of the Clips. While Silver expressed the utmost confidence in his ability to drum up support from the other owners in forcing Sterling to sell, one important voice seemed reluctant—Mavericks boss Mark Cuban.

"Again, there's no excuse for his positions,” Cuban said of Sterling’s remarks. “There's no excuse for what he said. There's no excuse for anybody to support racism. There's no place for it in our league, but there's a very, very, very slippery slope.
"But regardless of your background, regardless of the history they have, if we're taking something somebody said in their home and we're trying to turn it into something that leads to you being forced to divest property in any way, shape or form, that's not the United States of America. I don't want to be part of that."
