V. Stiviano, the former gal pal of Donald Sterling whose tape recording of his racist rantings led to his lifetime NBA ban, was assaulted outside of a NYC hotel by two men. According to her attorney, the attack occurred around 7 pm Sunday as Stiviano was leaving a restaurant near the Gansevoort Hotel in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District.  V. Stiviano was attacked by two white men, about 5′ 7″ who were described as two white men who began to hit her, called her the N word and other disgusting slurs. Stiviano was taken to a doctor who examined her for possible injuries. She was in NYC to appear on CNN‘s Anderson Cooper 360 on Monday.

V. Stiviano, whose tape recording of Donald Sterling ranting against African-Americans led to his NBA lifetime ban, was assaulted by two men outside a New York hotel Sunday night, her lawyer told CNN.

The assault took place as Stiviano was leaving a restaurant by the Gansevoort Hotel with her sister and friends.

The men followed her, yelling racial slurs, said Stiviano’s attorney Mac Nehoray.

They punched her several times, leaving the right side of her face red and swollen, he said.

Stiviano didn’t immediately file a police report, because “she had to get out of there,” Nehoray said.

“I believe she will file a police report Monday,” he said.
