Jacki Weaver, Ed O'Neill, and Cleopatra Coleman sitting courtside at a Clippers game in FX’s Clipped
The Big Picture The 2024 NBA Finals are just around the corner, but FX is ready to take us back to a pivotal moment in the professional league's history with Clipped. Based on the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast The Sterling Affairs, the upcoming limited series tells the story of the infamous tape in which Donald Sterling, then-owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, made a number of racist remarks during a conversation with his mistress, V. Stiviano.
Release Date June 4, 2024 Cast Kelly AuCoin , Michael Heidemann , Jock McKissic , Laurence Fishburne , Ed O'Neill , Jacki Weaver , Petri Hawkins Byrd Main Genre Drama Seasons 1 Creator Gina Welch Writers Gina Welch Streaming Service Hulu Directors Kevin Bray Expand Donald Sterling Had a Long History of Racism and Inappropriate Behavior The tape, in which Donald Sterling tells his mistress not to bring Black people to his games, turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg.
In his taped conversation with Stiviano, which she claimed was recorded with this permission, Sterling instructed her to not post pictures of herself with minorities on social media and also took aim at Magic Johnson, a five-time NBA Champion with the Los Angeles Lakers and beloved figure in the NBA who Stiviano openly admired.
Donald Sterling's Mistress Orchestrated His Downfall Though Sterling was married to his wife Shelly for nearly 60 years, he had a long, open history of infidelity, and it would be one of his mistresses who ultimately orchestrated his fall from grace. V. Stiviano, who then referred to herself as Sterling's assistant, had ambitions of her own, and even bragged about owning the Clippers herself one day.
The Donald Sterling Tape Shook the NBA The Sterling tape was released at a pivotal moment for both Clippers head coach Doc Rivers and the NBA's newly appointed commissioner, Adam Silver. This was Rivers' first season with the Clippers, and he'd successfully led the team to a franchise-record 57-win season, earning them the 3rd seed in the Western Conference.
