The lawyer representing Vanessa Stiviano has issued a statement saying the audiotape of his client arguing with Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is "legitimate."

As Breaking Celebrity News has been reporting, the tape contains Sterling, 80, chastising his 38-year-old girlfriend for her association with black men. He didn't want her bringing them to Clippers game and he didn't want her to post pics of them on her Instagram account.
