Disgraced and now former NBA owner Donald Sterling is facing yet another civil suit after a former employee and purported lover stepped forward on Monday to claim she was terminated after she finally summoned the courage to reject the NBA's longest tenured owner's "stream of racist and sexist taunts."
According to TMZ Sports, Maiko Maya King claims in her lawsuit she and the 81-year-old Sterling were in a relationship that started in 2005 and spanned at least six years. Over that time, King maintains Sterling made revolting comments ranging from "how could you be married to a black man" to "why would you bring black people into the world?"

Repped by famed L.A. attorney Gloria Allred, King also insists Sterling told her "I want to take you out of the black world and put you into the white world," or to "move back to the ghetto with a black man."
Sterling has come under national scrutiny over the last several weeks after a tape was made public of him admonishing another girlfriend "not to bring black people to my games."

Since the tape surfaced, NBA commissioner Adam Silver has imposed a lifetime ban on Sterling and slapped him with a $2.5 million fine.
King also claims that Sterling complained to her he was "bored" with his sexual relationship with V Stiviano, the woman he was talking to on the tape, and offered her bonuses if "she could help him out sexually," including telling him stories about past intimate experiences.
King adds Sterling once chastised her "black people do not take care of their children. All they do is sit at home and smoke dope, before adding "Mexicans just do drive-by shootings."
