The audio recording that allegedly has Clippers owner Donald Sterling going on a racist rant is “legitimate” and is about an hour long, according to lawyers.Mac E. Nehoray of the Nehoray Legal Group, which is representing Sterling’s former girlfriend V. Stiviano in a lawsuit filed against her by Sterling's wife Rochelle Sterling, said the 15-minute version of the tape we’ve heard is only a portion of the whole thing, TMZ reports. They also say she wasn’t responsible for leaking it to the media.

Stiviano’s Instagram page now has more than 130,000 followers after the controversy.
