LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Clipped' streaming on Hulu, briefly delves into V Stiviano's journey to motherhood, obtaining the guardianship for two young boys amid the 2014 scandal surrounding her and former LA Clippers owner, Donald Sterling.
The sports drama miniseries based on true events made its premiere with two episodes on June 4, 2024. It features Ed O'Neill as Donald Sterling, Jacki Weaver as Shelly Sterling, and Cleopatra Coleman as V Stiviano.
V Stiviano adopted two children in 2014
'Clipped' Episode 1 showcased V Stiviano's desperate need for a mansion as she was applying for the adoption of two boys. She eventually convinced Sterling to pay $1.8 million for the mansion.
In May 2014, an exclusive report by Radar disclosed that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services approved her guardianship request for two African American boys, aged 12 and 13 respectively.
The report mentioned that she met the young boys during her work in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
After fostering them for several years, she applied for the guardianship which was approved after a DCFS employee visited Stiviano's $1.8 million home and found it fit for the boys.
Sterling too had met the boys in the past. The Radar report quoted its source, "Donald has spent a lot of time with V and the boys in the past. He got along with the boys, and was very sweet to them."
Where is V Stiviano in 2024?
V Stiviano lost her mansion almost a year after the adoption was approved. In April 2015, the Los Angeles Superior Court forced Stiviano to surrender her duplex along with her luxury cars and other expensive gifts that she received from Donald Sterling.
The order came after Shelly Sterling filed a lawsuit against her claiming that Stiviano seduced her husband into buying her expensive gifts using the community property, reported Fox News.
V Stiviano disappeared from the limelight shortly after. In the last few years, she has made very few public appearances.
Details of her whereabouts, current profession, romantic life and children remain unknown to the public.
