Stiviano Talks With Dr. Phil; Sterling's Girlfriend Maintains She Didn't Leak Audio

Accompanied by her team of attorneys, V. Stiviano, the 31-year old involved with 80-year old L.A. Clippers owner, Donald Sterling, sat down with Dr. Phil to finally tell her side of the story. While she recently sat for a network news interview, this will be the first time that Stiviano actually reveals answers to the questions the media is left with, as she takes off her visor to face.

Dr. Phil asks Stiviano about the specific nature of her relationship with Donald Sterling; why she recorded their conversation(s), how the tapes got out and why she shared them in the first place. While Stiviano admits to recording the now infamous racist rant, she maintains that she isn't the one who leaked the recordings to the media.

But who is?

Stiviano also speaks to her criminal history; the many names she's gone by over the years and the reasons why; her specific job description and title, and is nearly brought to tears when Dr. Phil asks her if she is in love with Donald Sterling.

When asked her reasons for sitting down with Dr. Phil for this interview, Stiviano says, "I think you're the best. I'm here to clear the air, to tell the truth."

Hear Stiviano's side of the story when she sits down with Dr. Phil for an interview that airs tonight at 5 p.m. on CBS 62.
