The Donald Sterling fiasco is dying a slow, horrible, public death. After being banned from the league, relinquishing power of attorney to his wife Shelly, who sold the LA Clippers under threat of forcible sale by the NBA, he then decided to sue the league for what he felt was an illegal process. Now he has dropped the lawsuit and says he's ready to move on. But as the book says, "We may be through with the past but the past ain't through with us." Maiko Maya King says she worked for Donald Sterling and shared a romantic relationship with him until 2011. She now claims that in 2013 he sought to replicate that relationship, but in a more crass fashion. She says he essentially offered her money for sex.
Maiko Maya king is suing Donald Sterling citing frequent verbal abuse in the form of racist and sexist commentary. She was involved with Sterling for six years and claims he encouraged her to leave her husband (via ESPN):
"From 2005 to 2011, she was involved with Sterling, who 'supported her financially and she worked for him and his foundation,' the suit states. Sterling also allegedly asked King about her former husband, an African-American, saying, 'How could you be married to a black man?' and Why would you bring black people into the world?'"
At least he only has to worry about one lawsuit now. After a long battle of words in the press Sterling has finally decided to give up (via Sports Illustrated):
"The charges of Sterling's planned lawsuit's charges would have included an invasion of Sterling's constitutional rights, violation of anti-trust laws and breach of fiduciary duty associated with the NBA's lifetime ban and termination charges. Blecher also clarified that the prospective suit had nothing to do with the sale of the Clippers."
