All about FX’s new show Clipped
FYI, FX’s new series Clipped is about the former Los Angeles Clippers owner, Donald Sterling’s scandal. Sterling’s downfall started after he made racist remarks in 2014.
Apparently, 10 years ago, a recording was leaked where Sterling made racist remarks to his then-mistress, V. Stiviano. It caused a huge frenzy as in the audio tape, he dismissed V. Stiviano for associating with black people. And, that included NBA legend Magic Johnson.
His comments also had an impact on the Clippers while they chased the NBA championship under coach Doc Rivers. As a result of the controversy, Donald faced a lifetime ban and was also forced by the NBA to sell the Clippers.
Plus, V. Stiviano also got into legal trouble with Donald Sterling’s wife, Shelly. Mrs. Sterling sued her over gifts that Donald had given her during their relationship. Later, a court order asked the mistress to repay the wife millions of dollars.
FX’s Clipped consists of six episodes and is based on the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast The Sterling Affairs. FX’s new show Clipped’s first two episodes premiered on Hulu on Tuesday, June 4.
