LOS ANGELES \u2014 Billionaire Donald Sterling sued celebrity website TMZ and an ex-girlfriend over the recording of his off-color remarks that cost him ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers.<\/p>\n

Sterling’s lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court accused TMZ and V. Stiviano of violating his privacy and causing damage on a “scale of unparalleled and unprecedented magnitude.”<\/p>\n

The suit is the latest salvo in a legal soap opera that began in April 2014 after the recording caused a firestorm of criticism when the real estate baron was heard whining to Stiviano that she shouldn’t associate with black people.<\/p>\n

The remarks led the NBA to ban him from the league and ultimately led Sterling’s estranged wife to sell the team owned by a family trust to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for a record $2 billion.<\/p>\n

Shelly Sterling won court approval for the sale by showing her husband of six decades had dementia and couldn’t handle his business affairs.<\/p>\n

Donald Sterling is suing his wife, the league and two doctors who examined him, claiming in federal court that they conspired to remove him from the team.<\/p>\n

Despite litigation that put the couple at odds, they made nice during Shelly Sterling’s recent court case that forced Stiviano to relinquish a $1.8 million home and $800,000 in cash, gifts, a Ferrari and other luxury cars Donald Sterling lavished on the younger woman. A judge ruled the items belonged to Shelly Sterling as community property.<\/p>\n

The recordings of Donald Sterling surfaced just weeks after Shelly Sterling sued Stiviano, claiming she was her husband’s mistress.<\/p>\n

Stiviano has said Sterling consented to recordings she made on phones while they carried on a sexless relationship.<\/p>\n

Donald Sterling, however, said in the lawsuit that the “illicit” recordings were secretly made and provided to TMZ by Stiviano “and\/or her agents.”<\/p>\n

Attorney Mac Nehoray, who represented Stiviano in the previous lawsuit, said Sterling doesn’t have a claim to privacy because his insensitive remarks were made in front of Stiviano’s sister.<\/p>\n

“It’s ridiculous if he says he was damaged by it when he made $2 billion,” Nehoray said. “I think he’s just a litigious person.<\/p>\n

Unless he has something going on in the public eye, he can’t exist.”<\/p>\n

The latest suit was lodged two days after Donald Sterling filed for divorce from his wife just weeks shy of their 60th anniversary.<\/p>\n
