LOS ANGELES (AP) – An accountant says the woman who recorded offensive racial remarks by Donald Sterling made unbelievable claims about where she got $1 million to buy a house.
Jay Shapiro told a Los Angeles judge Thursday that V. Stiviano claimed money came from friends and family members who gave her small bills that she squirreled away in a drawer.
Shapiro says that would be an awfully big drawer and he found the story incredulous.
Shapiro is testifying on behalf of Shelly Sterling in her case seeking the return of more than $3.5 million her husband gave Stiviano.
Shelly Sterling claims the younger woman deceived her 80-year-old husband and that the money belongs to her as community property.
The trial comes nearly a year after Stiviano’s recording cost Sterling ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers.
