Photographs which V. Stiviano claims are proof she was assaulted in New York City over the weekend have been released on the same day a New York man was charged with attacking the tape-recording lady-friend of disgraced LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
The graphic images obtained by MailOnline from her attorney, Mac Nehoray, show the extensive bruising and swelling across the right side of Stiviano's usually visor-covered face that she suffered during the reported attack.
In one photograph, taken after Sunday's alleged assault outside the Gansevoort Hotel, a stunned looking Stiviano has what appears to be a huge reddish mark going from her eye down to her chin.
In the other, which was presumably taken the day after, Stiviano's face seems to be painfully swollen, especially around her cheek.
Even though she is wearing make-up in the photograph, the effects of the alleged attack appear to be visible.
These images were released on the same day that 40-year-old Dominick Diorio was arrested at his home on Long Island, and charged with assault as a hate crime, aggravated harassment and harassment for punching Stiviano in the face outside the hotel on Sunday.
He and another man allegedly hurled racist comments at Stiviano during the attack, including the N-word, after she left a restaurant with friends in the trendy neighborhood. The second man has not been arrested.
They apparently recognized Stiviano from her role in the recent NBA race scandal, which caused Sterling to sell the Clippers after she recorded him making racist comments about black people.
New York Police Department Detective Brian Sessa told reporters that the investigation is still ongoing.
