Stiviano, claiming the release of that infamous audiotape violated his right to privacy and caused damage on a "scale of unparalleled and unprecedented magnitude," per the AP. Sterling argues the audio was "illicitly" recorded and edited to "reflect conversations ... that either never occurred, were grossly distorted, and/or stated out of context," reports the Los Angeles Times. Stiviano's lawyer says it's "ridiculous if he says he was damaged by it when he made $2 billion." Last week, Sterling filed for divorce from Shelly Sterling, noting his wife has failed to hand over his share of the proceeds from the sale of the Los Angeles Clippers.
