Donald Sterling's rumored girlfriend V. Stiviano was reportedly brutally attacked outside a New York City hotel, her lawyer told Radar Online. According to the site, she was beaten up by two white men on Sunday, June 1 around 7 p.m. as she was leaving the Gansevort Hotel in the Meatpacking District.
Her lawyer, Mac Nehorary, claims the men used the N-word when they attacked Stiviano.
"They were about 5'7 and they knew exactly who she was. They began to hit her and called her the N word," the lawyer said. "Other disgusting slurs were made against her. She was able to run away and several onlookers then began attempting to apprehend the two men."
The 31-year-old was reportedly taken to a doctor and examined for injuries. Reportedly "one side of her face is extremely red" but the doctor said Stiviano will make a full recovery. Nehorary told Radar that Stiviano has not filed a police report yet and she "will probably do so [but] her immediate reaction was to run away from the attackers and get to safety."
Stiviano and Nehorary were in New York City for an appearance on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."
The model recently made headlines for mocking African Americans in a leaked video by TMZ. Reportedly the video was shot back in 2011 as part of a reality show about gold diggers. At the time, Stiviano was selected to appear on the show, TMZ reports.
"I don't understand black people. You give them a little bit of money, they don't know what to do with it," she said in the beginning of the video.
"[Black people] just act crazy... they're like, 'Yo, I wanna put extra rims on top of my rims. And my rims are gonna turn around. I'm gonna call them spinners. That's what I'm gonna do. That's how much money I have. That's exactly what I'm gonna do. And they do stupid shit like that, when there's people starving around the world. And that's what people wanna do with their money."
It was rumored that Stiviano was the one who leaked audiotapes of former Los Angeles Clippers owner, Donald Sterling, making racist comments about black people.
