Hard to believe it has already been a year since Donald Sterling’s mistress V. Stiviano leaked a racist audio tape of the Los Angeles Clippers owner to TMZ, resulting in the eventual forced sale of Sterling’s ownership of the team.

Donald Sterling Loses Last Legal Battle to Keep Clippers

The Sterling fiasco was a massive controversy for the league, and its mixture of salacious gossip and eye-opening racism made for a enticing combo for online rubberneckers.

However, despite being the original leaker, now Stiviano is still wishing Sterling well on social media. Late on Sunday night she posted a long happy birthday to Sterling on Instagram. Check it out below.

 "It's official BFF's for ever" It happens like this. "One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason, you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else--closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within them an angel--one sent to you for some higher purpose; to teach you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time. What you must do is trust in them--even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering--the reason for their presence will become clear in due time." Though here is a word of warning--you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isn't to save you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled; the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. They will be a stranger to you once more. My mentor is my partner in crime, today is a day of celebration and trouble making for this best friend duo. The beginning of something great: another year with you. Our friendship is made of gold and it will stay solid for ever. I love you with all my heart. Happy Birthday Donald T. Sterling from the one and only your #ANGEL #VStiviano

Although Sterling and Stiviano may be back together, it doesn't mean that their relationship is free of rockiness or acrimony.

It's very possible that Stiviano is only back together with Sterling because she's broke. And why's that? Well, a judge recently ordered Stiviano to pay back Sterling's ex-wife, Shelley, over 2.6 million dollars worth of wealth in a court settlement. Stiviano's gifts were alleged to include a duplex, as well as an entire garage's worth of luxury cars, such as a Bentley, a Range Rover and a Ferrari.

There's no word on whether Donald Sterling himself is watching his former franchise in this spring's NBA playoffs. The Clips are currently locked in an opening round battle with the San Antonio Spurs that's tied at two games apiece.
