Donald Sterling's girlfriend is reportedly writing a tell-all book, Radar Online reports. Former video vixen, Karrine Steffans, told the site that V. Stiviano has wanted to write the book for a while now.
"I know that V writes a lot down, she records everything, she's an archivist, there are always things in her head," Steffans told the site. "That's who she is. She has her very own way of seeing things. V will write a book one day."
Steffans said that the alleged tell-all would not be about the recent racism scandal involving Sterling and she was not going to help Stiviano land a publisher. Steffans' book, Confessions of a Video Vixen, landed on the New York Times' best sellers list.
The memoir was about Steffans life a hip-hop dancer and shed light on the dark side of the music industry. The book told how Steffans experienced physical abuse, rape and homelessness at a young age.
According to Radar, Stiviano has been hinting on Instagram that she is looking for a book deal and a publisher.
"I THINK IM READY?" she wrote, Radar reports. "#thenewyorkbestsellers #newyorktimes #thenewyorker #losangelestimes #crown #publishers #randomhouse. I'm patiently waiting."
Stiviano, a 31-year-old model, was recently thrust into the spotlight after audiotapes leaked of Sterling bashing African Americans. There have been rumors that the model leaked the tapes herself. According to TMZ, Stiviano and Sterling got into an argument on Apr. 9 after she posted a photo with Magic Johnson on her Instagram page.
In the audiotapes (listen below), Sterling told his girlfriend that he did not want her to publicly associate with black people. He also told her not to bring them to his basketball games. Sterling is the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Stiviano has since taken the picture down.
"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?" Sterling said at one point in the audio.
"You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that... and not to bring them to my games," he said.
"I'm just saying, in your lousy f***king Instagrams, you don't have to have yourself with, walking with black people," he added.
After the tapes were leaked, the NBA banned Sterling for life and he was also fined $2.5 million. There are also reports that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is urging Sterling to sell the Clippers.
