LAPD Probes Possible Hit-and-Run After V. Stiviano Says She Blacked Out Leaving Marina del Rey Hotel

Her 2014 role in exposing Donald Sterling explains the heightened attention on the unresolved incident.

Overview

  • Stiviano visited friends for about 30 minutes at the Ritz-Carlton Marina del Rey bar before blacking out as she crossed the street to her car.
  • Her manager says she did not consume any drinks at the hotel yet woke up on a roadway median feeling drunk with chipped teeth and asphalt burns.
  • She drove herself to Cedars-Sinai, where staff checked her vitals and told her she was okay.
  • After she reported the episode to the hotel, staff said no attack or collision was captured on surveillance cameras.
  • She filed a police report, and the LAPD is investigating the case as a potential hit-and-run, with her manager suggesting she may have been targeted or attacked; a watch she feared was stolen was later found in her car.
