estate. with realtors where nothing is off-limits. your drawers. your drugs. even your bed. >> they just had sex on it. >> when a house's virtual tour turns into a sex tape. >> we hire him to sell the house and this is what he's doing with it. >> love shack. plus, forget the neighbor from hell. how about an entire town? >> we're being tortured by this. >> but why? >> you beep your horn one time, he'll take you to court. >> makes us sound like a bunch of idiots. >> honking mad. here's david muir and elizabeth vargas. >> good evening. we begin with the abc news exclusive. a short time ago, a woman at the center of a firestorm, answering questioning for the first time about the owner of the l.a. chippers, donald sterling. >> first, who is she?

that young mystery woman, hiding behind the visor, the woman involved with a billionaire, nearly 50 years her senior. you have seen her all week, skating in front of her house, with in a odd visor covering her face. or exiting a restaurant, espousing presidential aspirations. who is she? she's a 31-year-old v. stiviano. the girl early at donald sterling's side at clippers' games. she calls herself an artist, a lover, and fiphilanthropist. that's what got her into hot water. sterling's anger at stiviano, part of that famous recording. >> and why are you taking

pictures with minorities. why? >> what's wrong with minorities? >> it bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. >> reporter: stiviano is half-block, half latina. her name was lisa perez, when she legally changed it. she felt she had not been fully accepted because of her race. stiviano tries to make peace. >> here you go. a little bit of juice, baby. >> thank you. >> honey, if it makes you happy, i will remove all of the black people from my instagram. >> reporter: donald sterling has allegedly showers miss stiviano with gifts, including a duplex, this ferrari, two bentleys and extra money to cover living expenses. but sterling is still married to the same woman he married 57 years ago. seen here next to stiviano, the

80-year-old mrs. sterling wants those gifts back. so, to get them back, shelly sterling filed a lawsuit in march, against the other woman who met her husband at a super bowl game in 2010. the lawsuit alleges stiviano engages in conduct designed to target, seduce, cajole and receive from gifts transfers of health from wealthy older men. but stiviano met her earlier this week. >> are you a racist, mrs. steriling? >> of course not. >> are the accusations true? >> forget it. it's not true. >> you just heard the wife. now, the other woman. tonight, v. stiviano is talking. why did she record donald sterling? is he a racist? and what is their relationship? >> barbara walters asking those questions tonight. and she joys us now from los angeles. barbara? >> david and elizabeth, it's been such a rollercoaster day.

we met with donald sterling and v. stiviano, who describes herself as a personal assistant. both agreed to speak to me. and it went back and forth. final, donald sterling decided not to be interviewed. but his companion, the woman you've seen with a visor, she did speak to me. here's the interview with v. stiviano. miss stiviano, you just left donald sterling. what is his state of mind right now? >> confused. i think he feels very alone. not truly supported. by those around him. tormented, emotionally traumatized. >> you were with him. so, he's not alone. >> i'm with him in a state where i want to help him. urging him. to come to his own rescue.

but even so, i think he feels that he's alone. you say that donald sterling is emotionally traumatized. from what? >> from everything. from everyone. from the media. from his peers. from his fellow employees. from his acquaintances. he's hurt. i think he's highly more traumatized than hurt, by the things that he said himself. i think he can't even believe or understand sometimes the things he says. and i think he's hurt by it. he's hurting right now. >> do you think that donald sterling should apologize. >> absolutely.

>> did you discuss this with him? >> yes. >> will he apologize? >> only god knows. >> can you tell me what your relationship with donald sterling is? >> i'm mr. sterling's right hand arm man. i'm mr. sterling's everything. i'm his confidant, his best friend. his silly rabbit. >> his what? >> his silly rabbit. >> his silly rabbit. is that what he calls you? >> no. i joke around and make him laugh. i do things that some people find very silly or i do things that sometimes people can't understand our relationship. i'm his everything. our relationship started off, me

working for mr. sterling in his nonprofit foundation. and it's evolved to so much more, on a level that's become a big scandal. >> scandalous? >> on a level it became a big scandal. >> yes. >> yeah. why? >> i think god has its purpose. i wish i could answer that question sometimes. i keep asking myself, how, when and why but is truth is that, how, when, why doesn't even matter anymore. it's here. and some things needed to be brought to the light. and i think sometimes we're forced into situations, into circumstances, in which we have

to choose to do good by. everything and everyone is a test. and i think mr. sterling is being tested right now by a higher power or being. and i'm forced to come to his rescue because he can't rescue himself. >> are you in love with donald sterling? >> i love him. >> i'm not sure that's what i asked. are you in love? >> no. i'm not in love. >> you love him what? like a friend? >> like a father figure. >> like a father. >> i love him like -- just like a father figure. >> donald sterling is in his 80s. you are in your 30s. >> i'm 31. >> you're a beautiful, young woman. i'm not sure that i understand the relationship. >> well, i'm mr. sterling's

personal assistant. like i said, i'm his right hand. i'm his wingman. what is there to understand? >> let me ask this. do you and donald sterling have a financial arrangement? you say you're his assistant. does he pay you? >> yes. >> and he pays you as an employee? >> he doesn't have -- at first, he started paying me as an employee. and then, he started paying me off the books. >> off the books? >> yes. >> people have seen you walking with a visor. why the visor? >> i'm hurting. i'm in pain. it hurts to see someone that you care about hurting. it hurts to see people speculate, assume, say -- throw darts at you, when they don't know you.

when they don't know your story. when they don't know the truth. all based an hearsay and assumptions. it hurts. it's easier to mask the pain. >> if you wear the visor, you can hide your face and hide the pain. this is a question that i ask very often. but it seems to be so appropriate now. what's the biggest misconception about you? >> that i'm a mistress or a whore or a woman of the night. and all those misconceptions are just from my instagram, i think, or speculations of not real journalists doing their job. asking the wrong people information about me that they don't know. or have real facts. >> so many of you weighing in. tweet us.

right now, we're online. when we come back, more of barbara's interview with the woman at the center of this firestorm, with, perhaps, the biggest question of all. >> the question, is the owner of the l.a. clippers, donald sterling, a racist? v. stiviano weighs in on that, when we come back.

now, we continue with more of barbara walters' exclusive interview with v. stiviano, the woman who is hiding behind that visor no more. >> and the big question remains. did he mean what he said in those recordings? does v. stiviano believe that the owner of that team is a racist? here, again, barbara walters. >> is donald sterling a racist? >> no. i don't believe it in my heart. >> had you heard him say derogatory things about minorities in general? and blacks in particular? >> absolutely. >> you heard him say derogatory things? >> yes. >> don't they sound racist to you? >> i think the things he says are not what he feels. anyone can say anything in the heat of the moment.

>> not everybody makes alleged racist remarks in the heat of the moment. sometimes in the heat of the moment you say things -- >> that you mean. >> explain how he says these things. >> he's from a different generation than i am. i think he was brought up to believe those things. >> what things? >> segregation. >> uh-huh. >> whites and blacks. minorities, from black jews to light jews to white jews. >> black juiews? it's anti-semitism he expresses. but he's jewish. >> through his actions, he's shown he's not a racist. through his actions, he's shown to be a very generous and kind man. if he was a real racist, why would he help the world the way that he has? i think he was overwhelmed by

the situation. he was overwhelmed by the phone calls. >> the situation in which you said derogatory things about blacks? >> i think he was overwhelmed by the negative people calling him. all of the naysayers. >> about you? >> about me. >> i see. friends of his were saying bad things about you. >> yes. >> why is he with you? >> they couldn't understand. now, here's a very powerful man, part of the 1% in which most people read about. >> he's very rich. >> yes. >> and no one understands why mr. sterling has this young girl around him. >> well, there is 56 difference in your age. >> no one would understand why i wouldn't allow him to have meetings with certain people. and all of the people who were involved with him in real estate or business or board meetings, there's certain things i

wouldn't allow mr. sterling to say that can hurt him. and i became part of mr. sterling's team. i became someone who protected him. someone who took care of him. someone who watchedverything he said and did. and people did not like that. people were used to mr. sterling being mr. sterling. and here comes v. and everything changes. >> you helped him become a better person. >> in every way. in every way. >> i want to go through some of the things he has said and get your comment on them. he said to you, about black people, you can sleep with them, you can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. i just ask you not to promote it, not to bring them to my games. why not? >> there's a point in time where

i had the leniency and the liberty to bring whomever i want. as his right hand, i get the perks of doing whatever i want, for the most part, when it comes to the nba team. and a lot of people were jealous of that. a lot of executive and board of directors for the clippers organization did not like that. so, having that freedom, mr. sterling allowed me to bring whomever i wanted. and on occasions when mr. sterling wasn't there, and i was attending the games, people would call him and tell him that i brought a certain amount of people. and that they look like a certain way. >> black people. >> not just black people. >> well, he said, you can sleep with them, you can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. he was not just talking about black people? he was talking about anybody you brought? >> i think he was generalizing. i think the focus of the subject

at that time was just black people. but i think he refers to everyone. not just black people, when he made that statement. >> well, it's a little -- >> confusing. >> yes. because he says i ask you not to promote it, not to bring them to my games. them, talking about -- >> them talking about the people that didn't give me a good look. people that were perceived, based on the calls and the assumptions, these other individuals were making to mr. sterling. they would say negative things like v. brought gangsters or v. was hanging out with thugs. or v. was hanging around with bad women or with fat women. it wasn't only men. it was also women. part of the audio which the world heard was only 15 minutes. there's a number of other hours

that the world doesn't know. >> in your recorded conversations with sterling, you said, i wish i could change the color of my skin. >> i was being cynical and sarcastic. i wanted him to see what he was doing to me, what he was doing to himself. a lot of the time, i would overemphasize and be cynical because he just didn't get it. he couldn't understand my view or the views of those around us. and i would have to paint that picture to him, in color, with words. >> so, you are, as i said, you are half-black and half-mexican. and you are very close to donald sterling? >> yes. >> you do not consider him a racist. >> no. >> do you think he should apologize? >> absolutely. >> do you think he will

apologize? >> only god knows. >> there are so many facets to this fascinating story. race, power and wealth, the least of which is the nature of the relationship between this beautiful woman and the billionaire, donald sterling. >> all right. barbara walters with that exclusive interview tonight. barbara, thank you. we want to know what you think at home. elizabeth and i reading these tweets. tweet us. we're online right now. use the #2020. we are going to switch gears. we've all had a real estate nightmare. what are some real estate brokers doing in your home? you have to see this. coming up, putting the real in real estate. realtor where's nothing is offlimits. your drawers. your drugs. even your bed. >> they just had sex on it. >> when a house's virtual tour turns into a sex tape. >> we hired him to sell the

house. and that is what he's doing in it. >> love shack. when "20/20" continues. when "20/20" continues. my name is tiffany and this is my aha moment. i was distributing shoes and met a little girl. we did not have her size and she pointed down at my feet. i thought to myself, "what am i gonna do if these fit her? what am i going to wear?" that's the question she asks herself every day. i gave her my shoes. i remember watching her hold them. i think every day is a chance to give some part of yourself away.

guy. but in real life, realtors are a different story. they've been caught all over the country. in washington. >> palm beach county. >> scottsdale. >> reporter: stealing jewelry in arizona. pilfering prescription meds in arizona. and a maryland realtor caught red-handed on surveillance tape, rifling through a woman's drawers. >> to have someone come in and steal your things, it's a violation of trust, in my opinion. >> reporter: realtor brendan desimone is an author. what co-can you trust? >> just because they do real estate doesn't mean they're trustworthy. >> reporter: rich weiner caught his realtor behaving badly in

one of the most incredible cases ever. >> this is our marital bed. >> reporter: what was your reaction when you saw this? >> are you blanking kidding me? this is insane. we hired him to sell the house. and this is what he is doing in it. >> reporter: he is bob lindsay. >> i'm here with bob lindsay. how are you doing, bob? >> very well, thanks. >> reporter: a top new jersey coldwell banker real estate agent, rich trusted him to sell his home. >> we love this house. a cool english tudor. a lot of great memories. >> reporter: how did you decide upon bob lindsay. >> he was a great guy. 35 years of experience. he taught ethics. wow. we hit the jackpot. >> reporter: rich and sandy were happy to roll the dice when they say lindsay suggested they go big in their asking price. >> between 550 and 500.

>> reporter: how much did you pay for it? >> 250. >> reporter: that would be a great profit. >> reporter: lindsay plays up the house's character and charm. the weiners assumed their agent is working hard to reel in a buyer. you had all confidence that was happening? >> absolutely. we trusted him with everything. >> reporter: the weiners had such faith in lindsay, they went out on a limb, buying and moving into a new home, while the tudor was renovated to fetch top dollar. and for piece of mind, they made sure the home on the market was secured. you decided to equip the house with cameras? >> yes. >> reporter: why? >> we are security-conscious. we keep on our wired alarm system. we were told by bob, you can't keep that system on because realtors will be setting off alarms throughout the neighborhood left and right.

>> reporter: with the alarm turned off, sandy weiner was looking at the live feed of the camera at their vacant house one night and got the shock of her life. >> reporter: she comes racing up the stairs. and she says, oh, my god. the house is being broken into. she calls 911. and the wayne police responded almost immediately. >> reporter: the weiners were glued to their screen, as officers arrived in the darkened house. >> you're going to see one of the policemen, coming into the room. he's got a flashlight. and bob lindsay is getting dressed. >> reporter: the couple was confused, until, that is, they hit the rewind button. and rich says he discovered weeks worth of x-rated videos, starring their reality, bob lindsay and this woman. watch them covering their tracks, making the bed, following a daytime romp. the camera caught them 13 times

having sexual encounters. after this makeout session, they suddenly become aware of the camera. >> they're looking at the kitchen camera. >> reporter: they don't seem to be worried or concerned they were caught. >> not at all. that's the amazing part about all of this. >> reporter: who was the mystery woman in bob lindsay's embrace. she is jeannemarie. >> these two people clearly screwed up. >> yes. >> reporter: is it worth humiliating them, hurting their families and basically airi ing dirty laundry in public? >> the families were aware of the affair. >> reporter: what outrages weiner, is the breach of trust. he is suing bob lindsay, jeanmarie and coldwell banker. >> the keys and that house were abused in the process. we're suing for breach of contract, negligence. >> reporter: coldwell banker

denied our request for an interview. offering a statement saying, we ceased our affiliation with the agents. the conduct at the home is not in any way rerepresent business as a company. the saga hit the news. >> want to ask you a couple of questions about the home you were hired to sell. >> no comment. >> reporter: they both declined on-camera interviews. but lindsay's lawyer sent us this statement. although my client entered their home on occasion for purposes unauthorized, the claims. >> reporter: exaggerated and will be exposed by evidence. they are countersuing. claiming they tried to extort $1 million or they'd give the materials to the media. >> there was no extortion attempt. there was nothing like that. >> reporter: and remember the juicy asking price of just over

$500 thushgs. the home on maple avenue went for $419,000, $100,000 less than lindsay said he could get. >> he overpriced the house to keep the traffic away, so he could use the house. he was going to make money selling the house. but just not today. he can use it as a cheap motel today, sell it tomorrow. >> reporter: do you think that person should be practicing? >> certainly not. that person should lose their license immediately. they shouldn't be allowed to enter anyone's home ever. >> reporter: what if i told you that bob lindsay is selling homes with another firm? >> that's the shocking part of this entire story, that he's still selling real estate. next, why are all these cars honking their horns nonstop? a policeman. a fireman. even the mortician. because of this man and his battle to buy this house. >> it's called menacing by stalking. >> announcer: driving him out? or driving him nuts. when home sweet home returns. driving him nuts?

court. but rick tried to buy it anyway. even though it had been in the clemente family for generations. >> i said, you're not getting my land. i said, that's not right. it's my family since 1922. how could you do that? >> the clement family called up and told me to take my bid off the table. if i didn't take my bid off the table, we'd be bitter enemies for life. >> reporter: rick never got the house. but he's still paying for what he did. as the town fire chief, clemente had lots of friends. and suddenly, rick and cindy said it seemed like every one of them was driving by, honking the horn. and it wasn't to say hello. [ honking ] >> the clement family conspired together to organize a horn blowing campaign against us. [ horns honking ] >> that's what this is all

about. >> reporter: ask for for who the horn blows. it blows for rick and cindy. >> in the beginning, it was 100 times a day. >> reporter: 100 times a day? >> 100. >> reporter: they began planning their payback. their house with expensive surveillance cameras. >> the last camera is down here on the tree. >> reporter: okay. somebody just honked their horn. was that a friendly honk? >> probably not. >> reporter: rick says his ear is finely tuned. do certain makes and models have a certain sound? >> yes. you can tell an import horn from a domestic horn. >> reporter: who are these horn blowers? not just people who work in the town, but work for the town. firefighters, and police. here's one of hub board township's finest, not serving. not protecting. just honking. it's enough to wake the dead.

this hearse, caught ten times. and would you look at this. the horn on the bus goes -- and education for hubbard's next generation of horn blowers. rick and cindy have renamed the dining room, the evidence room. there's more in the basement. >> there's hundreds of photographs and discs and stuff here. >> reporter: you're light a detective. when did people start blowing the horns? were you recruiting people? telling them to get this guy out of town? >> no. that's what he tells everybody. >> reporter: john says he can explain everything. his son's girlfriend and some of his friends would occasionally blow the horn. but that was their way of saying good-bye. >> when they would leave the house, the girls would toot the horn just to let them know they're leaving. >> reporter: a little toot. yeah. rick says, like this car leaving

the clemente driveway at 4:00 in the morning. does the city of hubbard have a horn blowing epidemic? >> epidemic? no. we have a problem in one area. >> reporter: we patrolled around with the police chief. >> at some point, people began blowing horns. it became clear on another point, on occasion it was used to harass a person. >> reporter: they began taking horn blowers to court. he got orders of protection against more than a dozen people. and he didn't stop there. he started suing. somebody beeps. rick seuss. beep. sue. at the courthouse, it's piling

up. rick is suing no fewer than 40 alleged horn blowers, including the clementes. >> this isn't my job. i don't want to do this. i'm sad that i have to. >> reporter: site seems like the town of hubbard is against them. and everybody is in on it now. >> if you beep your horn one time, he'll take you to court. just a regular beep. >> reporter: does the city of hubbard want them to leave? >> i believe so. >> reporter: do you any you made matters worse? >> we don't know how else to stop it. >> reporter: we knew it was a long shot. but we asked both sides if they would consider mediation? >> we would love it for it to stop. but how do you get everybody in hubbard to come to a meeting and say stop. >> reporter: there's a thought. get everybody in hubbard to come to a meeting. >> i don't know. >> reporter: oh, yeah, rick. that's just what we're going to do. it's the "20/20" barbecue peace

summit. but will the warring parties or anyone else bother to show up? find out when we come back. on'tt ! the more people we have, the more we save. he already owes me money for like 4 pizzas. we all get separate bills. besides, if you don't like gordon why did you invite him this weekend? i didn't invite him. he just, like, shows up! it's pronounced gor-don.

>> announcer: "20/20" continues. once again, paula faris. >> reporter: which is the real hubbard, ohio? the peaceful city that claims to be the home of the nicest people? or the horn-blowing bedlam, caught on rick and cindy's surveillance cameras? >> stalking. >> reporter: has it become a living hell for you? >> absolutely. >> reporter: they say horn blowing bullies are ruining their lives. how do you get out of this situation? >> we really don't know. >> reporter: this former judge says she knows how it might be solved. >> well, we're on our way to see rick and cindy. >> reporter: on a gray and rainy friday, she came to hubbard to try to mediate the noisy feud.

the minivan diplomacy begins at their house. the judge says mediation has a better chance without cameras. >> all right, guys. you can leave. out of here. three hours later, judge billie emerges with a slice of coconut cake. but no deal. >> he's thinking about it. that's a good first step. >> reporter: next stop, the clementes. the people rick and cindy say organize the horn blowing in the first place. another marathon session. but at the end of the day. >> my assessment is, they're just not ready for mediation at this point. >> reporter: it looks pretty hopeless. but the next day, clear skies and a new plan. "20/20" throwing a peace and reconciliation barbecue. we even hired a quartet.

and an a cappella group. >> we arrived on the scene. we got an hour before everyone starts arriving. we have invited the entire town, with full-page newspaper ads. it was a big story. >> a national news magazine is back, trying to resolve the horn honking harassment case in hubbard. >> cheese burgers ready. who had the cheeseburgers? >> there you go. >> reporter: thank you. you think we're going to come to a happy medium today? >> we sure hope so. >> this is between two people. and the whole city is involved. >> yeah. it makes us all look like idiots. >> reporter: we want to welcome you to the hubbard, ohio, peace and reconciliation barbecue. the big question, the clementes and the kerrlichs, if they don't show up, the peace and
