I think he is kinda pissed. Suing the NBA. Now doctors.

quote:

Shelly Sterling asked for an emergency motion from a court to protect herself, because her estranged husband, Donald Sterling, has been leaving threatening voicemails on the phones of the two doctors who found him mentally incompetent. Their medical determination allowed Shelly Sterling to take full control of the Sterling Family Trust which owns the Los Angeles Clippers, and therefore sell the team to Steve Ballmer. Donald Sterling also threatened the life of Shelly Sterling's attorney, Pierce O'Donnell, during a phone call.



She lost in court...


quote:

The voicemails Sterling left threatened the doctors' medical licenses, practices, jobs and, arguably, lives.



quote:

. In a voicemail to Dr. Meril Sue Platzer, Sterling called her "a horrible woman" and "nothing but a fraud and a liar and a cheat." He also alluded to suing her for a "large sum" to make sure she loses her medical license.



quote:

In his voicemail to Dr. James Edward Spar, he used a number of profanities and said, "I'm gonna get you fired from UCLA because you're nothing but a tramp. How dare you let someone use you that way? You know, you rely on doctors. You think that they'll be above it all. But obviously you're not. You'll sell yourself for nothing. How dare you? How dare you give my records to a lawyer for the purposes of using it against me?"



Does he have a point and a case?

Sterling is a certified nut, but this will be interesting... Would be absolutely fricking hilarious if the Doc violated the Doc/Patient privilege and gets fired.

Scorched earth

Def, but will still be funny as hell if the Doc didn't follow protocol and gets shite canned for it.

I think Sterling is an absolutely loony racist, but its like a train wreck, you can't look away. I want this shite to continue so that I can be entertained.

Not without patient consent or court order. If it happens, it is a clear cut hippa violation. The facility, the doctor, and the star who participate would be open to litigation and other negative events.

Meh, I think he's being portrayed that way. The original recordings were bad enough, but possibly illegal. Is there a hearing on the legality? Can you imagine the tapes being thrown out and the NBA etc trying to defend themselves without the words from the tapes?
I see people who thought they could ride the wave of negativity against an old man, and he's saying frick you all!
He didn't become a billionaire by getting pushed around. He's got nothing to lose. Everyone else has a high stake to lose. IF his wife can be linked to illegal activities, like bribing doctors or some other scheme to get control, I bet she can be removes from the trust and the sale stopped dead in it's tracks.

That's the goal. Unless he dies, he's planning on running this into the ground.
