Police arrested Dominick Diorio in New York, for
issuing racial slurs and beating up, V. Stiviano, the mistress of
former Los Angeles Clippers owner, Donald Sterling. Diorio and an
unnamed male attacked Stiviano after she dined at restaurant in a
New York hotel, days before a CNN television interview.
Dominick Diorio
Stiviano, who is black and Hispanic (Mexican), blew
the whistle on Sterling's racist conduct in demanding she not bring
black people to his team's basketball games. She released secretly
made audiotape recordings of Sterling's hateful, racist demands. It
created a big scandal that led to the NBA kicking him out of the
league and forcing the sale of the team.
V. Stiviano
Diorio issuing racial slurs during the assault will
upgrade the charges to a hate crime. If convinced of said crimes in
a court of law, Diorio faces more time
behind bars, as racially fueled attacks carry greater legal
penalties. Stiviano sought a doctor for her injuries and is expected to
make a
full recovery.
