One week after Donald Sterling received a lifetime ban from the NBA, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned that league commissioner Adam Silver has launched an investigation into his wife and L.A. Clippers co-owner, Shelly Sterling. In fact, sources reveal, the attorney spearheading the inquiry has already asked Donald’s alleged mistress, V. Stiviano, to schedule a sit-down meeting in which she will play the controversial audiotapes she has of her former boss’ wife.

As Breaking Celebrity News has reported, Stiviano has audio and videotapes of Shelly which will "definitely raise eyebrows" according to a source.

Now, David Ander, the attorney appointed by Silver to investigate Donald’s racist rants, has "reached out to V.” about Shelly, the source claimed.

“David wants to meet with her to interview her specifically, and only regarding Shelly Sterling,” a source revealed. “V. previously discussed Donald's racist rants with David. Now, David wants to listen to and watch audio and videotapes that V. has of Shelly. It's a very interesting turn, and V. plans on cooperating as much as possible, but she is being sued by Shelly.”

The Shelly tapes — in which the estranged wife of banned owner Donald Sterling’s heard speaking in an “extremely candid, unfiltered and very different” tone than how she’s been heard before — will be made public because her lawyers have demanded it as part of the discovery process in her lawsuit against Stiviano, sources tell Breaking Celebrity News.

“While Shelly doesn’t make any racist comments, it gives the public an inside look into who she really is behind closed doors,” the source said. “She also swears like a sailor. Her tapes will definitely raise eyebrows. She was absolutely aware of Donald’s racist views, and did nothing to distance herself in the past from it.”
