Last night (May 2), V. Stiviano--the alleged "mistress" of banned L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling--broke her silence on the the leaked phone calls that revealed the racist viewpoints of the latter.
Sitting down with Barbara Walters for an episode of the long-running show 20/20, the woman revealed that the 15-minute audio clip is just one of many instances involving Sterling's controversial views.
"There's been a number of occasions where Mr. Sterling and I had conversations just like this one. This was one of very many. Part of what the world heard was only 15 minutes. There's a number of other hours that the world doesn't know."
Strangely, she also defends her former "friend," saying that he is also a "kind and generous" man whose views are only a result of the generation he grew up with.
"I think Mr. Sterling is from a different generation than I am. I think he was brought up to believe these things… segregation, whites and blacks. But through his actions he's shown that he's not a racist. He's shown to be a very generous and kind man. I think he's highly more traumatized and hurt by the things that he said himself. I think he can't even believe or understand sometimes the thing he says, and I think he's hurt by it. He's hurting right now."
