Note: This story contains spoilers from “Clipped” Season 3, Episode 6. The final episode of “Clipped” sees the Clippers headed to the playoffs, as Shelley Sterling (Jacki Weaver) looked for a buyer for the team and Donald Sterling (Ed O’Neill) conducted his infamous “apology” interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. The conversation went off the rails, with him accusing Cooper of being “more of a racist than I am” and yelling about Magic Johnson having AIDS. After watching the interview and talking about selling the Clippers with her lawyer Pierce O’Donnell, public relations representative Seth Burton and friend Justine, Shelley revealed...

[This story contains spoilers from the FX limited series Clipped.]
Adapting true narratives is often a tricky proposition. And it gets even trickier when it’s as unbelievable and unprecedented as the fallout from 80-year-old Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s viral racist comments against Black people back in 2014 — just as Instagram and Twitter were in their infancy, and TMZ and Kardashian culture was extending their cultural imprint.
All of that fuels the FX series Clipped, which ended its limited series run on Tuesday.
Having as its guide the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast The Sterling Affairs from Ramona Shelburne (the ESPN writer also served as an executive producer on the series) was both helpful and challenging for Gina Welch, the creator and showrunner for the TV adaptation, whose impressive credits as both writer and producer include Feud and Ray Donovan.

Spoiler Alert: This article includes details about the series finale of “Clipped,” now streaming on Hulu.
The emperor with no clothes is still the emperor. That’s the ugly truth that FX’s “Clipped” arrives at in its series finale.
After Donald Sterling (Ed O’Neill) fails to block his wife Shelly (Jacki Weaver) from alleging her husband is mentally incapacitated and taking control of their family trust, Donald concedes to the sale of the Los Angeles Clippers to the rambunctious ex-Microsoft exec Steve Ballmer. With that, Donald also stops fighting against his lifetime ban from the NBA, imposed against him after TMZ publishes an audio recording of Sterling delivering a racist tirade to his assistant-mistress V. Stiviano (Cleopatra Coleman) chastising her for publicly associating with Black people.
For waving the white flag, the Sterlings are awarded $2 billion in the sale of the Clippers: an exponential return on the $12 million...

The scandalous Donald Sterling controversy, which is still one of the top matters in discussion whenever the Los Angeles Clippers are mentioned, has been the subject of FX’s sports drama series Clipped for the past five weeks. The series finally comes to an end this week with the release of episode 6, which features one last desperate attempt by Donald Sterling to remain the owner of the team and cleanse his image. It also quite aptly sums up the various manners in which the rich can ultimately get away with their wrong actions, and it is not very difficult to ascertain the winners and losers from the Sterling scandal.

On April 25, 2014, TMZ released recordings of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling criticizing his assistant V. Stiviano for “associating with Black people.” The following week, Stiviano, a biracial Black woman, sat across from Barbara Walters on ABC News and called herself Sterling’s “confidant,” “best friend” and, most bizarrely, his “silly rabbit.”
In a moment that has since been memed into oblivion, Walters asked for a little clarification: “His what?” Stiviano repeated herself, but when Walters asked, “His silly rabbit? Is that what he calls you?” Stiviano gave a quiet, “No.”
Cleopatra Coleman has her own understanding of the nickname.
“Obviously, he does call her that,” says the actor, who plays V. in “Clipped,” the soapy FX limited series based on the scandal surrounding L.A.’s “other” basketball team. Indeed, in the show’s first episode, Donald (Ed O’Neill) calls V. his silly rabbit in private, during a tender conversation...

FX’s sports drama series Clipped continues this week with the riveting story of how the Los Angeles Clippers faced extreme controversy in the 2013-14 season, owing to their long-time problematic owner, Donald Sterling. After being accused of racism because of the leak of some audio tapes that clearly expressed Sterling’s prejudice against people of color, the man’s official response was to claim that the voice heard in the tapes was not his own. But neither the world nor his own team believe this statement, and all sides, which already had enough complaints against Sterling, now finally decide to make use of the situation. After spending extensive minutes with each of the central characters’ past days in the previous episode, Clipped episode 5 once again returns to the present timeline, when the Clippers team thinks of boycotting their next crucial playoffs game against the Warriors.

FX on Hulu’s limited series Clipped is certainly a surprise watch of the summer.
Based on the viral Los Angeles Clippers scandal a decade ago, Clipped, the screen adaptation of the hit ESPN 30 for 30 podcast The Sterling Affairs, takes a fly-on-the-wall approach (similar to HBO’s now-canceled Lakers series Winning Time, but with a lot more fireworks) to dive into the fallout, as well as the imagined philosophical and real details, of the explosive chapter surrounding Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s recorded racially charged comments to his dubious and attractive “employee” V. Stiviano, whom he reportedly met at a Super Bowl party in 2010.
In the recording, made public by TMZ Sports on April 25, 2014, Sterling responds very negatively to Stiviano’s Instagram post of her and a friend with Magic Johnson, telling her that, “It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with Black people.

Laurence Fishburne is a talented actor who has played a range of characters from Morpheus to Mr. Clean. The new FX series Clipped offers him yet another unexpected role as an NBA coach who employs force and gravitas in guiding players in combat with the racist owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Fishburne has never been an ardent sports fan, nor have I. But recent sports movies have provided a welcome relief from rom-coms, just as the sports pages have been offering a relief from gloomy Hollywood news. While the studios seem caught up in cutbacks, stories about the sports business are uniformly emblazoned with billion-dollar megadeals and lavish paychecks in the hundreds of millions.
Item: The NBA’s next TV deal is closing in on a precedent-setting price tag of $76 billion over 11 years (details are still being hammered out). Item: Some 775,000 fans actually showed up for the NFL draft,...

Spoiler Alert: This article discusses the fourth episode of FX’s “Clipped,” “Winning Ugly,” now streaming on Hulu.
Jacki Weaver had always wanted to play Lady Macbeth. In an interview with The Guardian, the celebrated Australian actor shared her wishes to play the role, with the caveat that, being in her 70s, she may have aged out of the part. But now, with FX’s “Clipped,” Weaver gets an opportunity close to it: She plays Shelly Sterling, the wife of a modern-day Macbeth, in the power-obsessed, narcissistic land baron Donald Sterling (Ed O’Neill).
Even so, the actor bristles at the comparison when it’s posed to her.
“I went into this thinking Shelly deserved everything she got — that she was just as bad as he was. … But she’s a bit of a victim in a way,” Weaver says in an interview. “Shelly really did love Donald somewhere deep down,...

The source material for FX’s sports drama series Clipped, which is “The Sterling Affairs” podcast by ESPN, did a fantastic job getting into the past details of Donald Sterling, focusing on his rise to power and the various controversies linked to him. Therefore, it was perhaps only a matter of time before Clipped took a similar step, going back into the past years and presenting the earlier accusations of racism against the Los Angeles Clippers owner. This week’s episode 4 does exactly so, as we are given an insight into each of the main characters’ pasts in an effort to explain some of their thoughts and decisions in the present time. Instead of just focusing on the Sterlings, though, the series also gives enough space to its two other central characters—Doc Rivers and V. Stiviano.

ESPN basketball analyst and former NBA player Austin Rivers is apparently no fan of the theory of the willing suspension of disbelief.
The son of former Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers took some time on his Off Guard podcast to rip into the new Hulu series, Clipped. The program is based on the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast The Sterling Affairs, which depicted the time when former team owner Donald Sterling was caught on tape making derogatory racial remarks.
In a clip posted on Instagram, Rivers took issue with the casting of several actors, starting with guard Stephen Curry: “That is Stephen Santiago. That’s, like, the third baseman for the Padres. Who the hell is that guy?”
He also had something to say about the casting selection for Clippers star Blake Griffin and J. Alphonse Nicholson’s impression of point guard Chris Paul: “That is my local A/C man, Frederick. Who is this? Who the hell is that?”
Sheldon Bailey as Clippers center DeAndre Jordan was mocked as well. “There’s no effort in this. That looks nothing like DJ.”
Surprisingly, the only one to avoid most of the slams was the man playing Rivers’s father, Doc Rivers.
“Laurence Fishburne is a legend, and he’s a great actor,” Rivers said, before adding, “The body of my father is just a little bit different. I’m not saying he’s 100% in shape, but he’s built a little different than Laurence Fishburne. We could’ve done a little AI or something there.”
Clipped also stars Ed O’Neill as Sterling, with Cleopatra Coleman as his assistant V. Stiviano.
Coming up: Austin Rivers is portrayed later in the series. We await his critique.

Laurence Fishburne had never even heard of Doc Rivers before signing on to play the perennial NBA coach in FX’s “Clipped.”

The new FX sports drama series Clipped brought to light the elaborate scandal in 2014 that led to the downfall of erstwhile Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and a strong effort to drive out racism from the NBA. In the first two episodes of the show, we were introduced to Donald Sterling, the aging owner of the Clippers franchise, who was always a controversial character. But what he did not expect was for his secretary-cum-mistress, V Stiviano, to leak conversation tapes in which he blatantly expressed his horribly racist beliefs and prejudices. This week’s Clipped episode 3 deals with the immediate repercussions following the leak, especially on the Clippers team, as they prepare to play a crucial fourth game in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

The world of “Star Wars” is expanding yet again. This week marks the debut of “The Acolyte,” an eight-episode drama that, like “Andor” before it, breathes new life into a world that is perhaps even more familiar than our own at times. The series, the first two episodes of which are now streaming on Disney+, is set 100 years before the rise of the Empire and tells an original story that is full of action and hints at more sinister forces at work in the universe.
Emmy Award winner Lee Jung-jae leads the cast as Sol, an experienced Jedi Master who reunites with Osha (Amandla Stenberg), his former Padawan who left the Order years before, to stop her long-lost twin from using the dark side of the Force to kill the Jedi she believes are responsible for the tragedy that ripped their family apart.

A limited series about one of the most notorious scandals in NBA history sounds interesting, right?

FX’s new sports drama series Clipped brings to screen the shameful story of the Los Angeles Clippers former owner, Donald Sterling, with its two premiere episodes released this week. Based on the fantastic podcast program by ESPN 30 for 30, titled “The Sterling Affairs,” the new miniseries presents a fictional retelling of the very real events that ousted one of the most racist men to have been associated with the USA’s National Basketball Association. While seeing actors play out the roles of players and coaches so popularly seen in the sport even today might be a bit jarring, Clipped will hopefully bring more attention to the sporting scandal that rocked the basketball world back in 2014.
Spoiler Alert
Why are the LA Clippers considered a cursed team?
Clipped opens at the beginning of the 2013–14 NBA season with the arrival of a new head coach for the Los Angeles Clippers team—the incredibly popular Doc Rivers.

‘Clipped’ Review: FX’s American Basketball Story Is a Salacious, Shrewd Account of NBA Racial Strife
Initially, “Clipped” seems content to recap the embarrassing and abhorrent factoids that make up Donald Sterling’s tenure as the owner of the L.A. Clippers. When legendary coach Doc Rivers (played by Laurence Fishburne) initially arrives in Los Angeles — eager to start laying the foundation for the organization’s first NBA title — the team forgets to pick him up from Lax. Ok, no problem, he’s happy to order his own Uber. But then Sterling tries to block Doc’s big free agent acquisition because J.J. Reddick, it turns out, is white. Similarly troubling and peculiar events pile up as the story bounces from the shrewd coach to Donald’s wife and co-owner of the Clippers, Shelly Sterling (Jacki Weaver), to a perplexing female employee who goes simply by V. (Cleopatra Coleman).
But like V. herself — and, really, like each of “Clipped’s” main characters outside of the purposefully oafish,...

To be frank, watching episodes of the new limited series “Clipped” came with a bit of Ptsd for this particular writer. As a longtime Los Angeles Clippers fan, the new FX program is sort of like revisiting one of the worst and most liberating moments in your team’s history. A moment that was so historic that the commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver, banned an owner from his team and essentially forced him to sell the team.

While many might still say HBO is the best American network for prestige television, FX has forcefully inserted itself into the conversation in the last few years. From the rabid animal that is The Bear to the densely historical Shōgun, the channel commands respect just by placing its name in front of a series. Knowing how incredible FX’s track record in the 2020s is, it came as a pleasant surprise when it was announced the network would be adapting a recollection of Los Angeles Clippers basketball owner Donald Sterling’s racist downfall at the end of the 2014 NBA season.
Using extensive research and journalistic fortitude from ESPN reporter Ramona Shelburne, Clipped takes the already wild story of Sterling’s banishment from professional basketball and sensationalizes certain aspects of the saga for a wider audience.

As the kids would say today, the audacity! White male privilege, corporate power and the pitfalls of boxing out the wrong people al crowd the court in FX’s Clipped, a fast-paced and often gripping look at a flagrant foul from recent sports history. The six-part limited series sets out to retell—and slightly fictionalize—the real-life scandal surrounding former owner of the L.A. Clippers, Donald Sterling. Back in 2014, Sterling was caught on tape unleashing a grotesquely racist rant at his “assistant” and lover V. Stiviano (Cleopatra Coleman) about her association with Black people after she posted a photo with Magic Johnson on social media. Kelsey McNeal / FX The scandal led to the NBA’s lifetime ban against Sterling and the events leading up to that tape being made public, the deterioration of Sterling’s marriage to wife Shelly (Jacki Weaver) and his off-court clashes ...

Summer is no time for sadness, with new shows debuting throughout the season. With the official 2024 Emmys deadline now in the rearview, June is when the TV calendar resets, with new and returning shows now eligible for next year’s awards ceremony… but we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
June’s new TV lineup includes a handful of book adaptations, including Hulu’s “Queenie” starring Dionne Brown, Apple’s “Presumed Innocent” with Renate Reinsve and Jake Gyllenhaal as well as Eva Longoria-starrer “Land of Women,” and Prime Video’s “My Lady Jane,” based on the YA series The Lady Janies (and loosely on some Tudor history… very loosely). Shows like “Clipped” and “Becoming Karl Lagerfeld” stem from books about real people and events, while on the reality front there’s also Peacock’s “Queer Planet” and a docuseries about the Dallas Cowboys’ Cheerleader squad on Netflix.

Summertime tends to be a quieter yet exciting period for the average TV viewer, as the broadcast season hiatus leaves room for big streaming and cable offerings to take center stage.
There might be a bit of a decrease in output now that the Emmy submission period is over, but there’s no lack of new and returning shows across broadcast, streaming and cable this summer. While the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris will keep the world’s attention in late july, the return of Amazon’s “The Boys” and HBO’s “House of the Dragon” will surely have fans talking throughout the next few months, while new shows like “Star Wars” spin-off “The Acolyte” on Disney+ and the animated “Terminator Zero” hope to burst into the zeitgeist.

Equal time rules do not, in fact, apply to slightly fictionalized treatments of the real-life trials and tribulations of professional basketball teams, but for at least an hour it’s hard to shake the feeling that FX/Hulu’s six-parter Clipped exists as a make-good for the surplus of programming dedicated to the Lakers.
In terms of tone and style, that first episode of Clipped plays like the scrappy and far less enjoyable and successful younger brother to HBO’s Winning Time, an apt parallel for the relationship between the Clippers and the Lakers.
This sells Clipped a bit short. I watched the pilot twice, separated by several months. The first time, I thought it was a mess, more cartoonish and broad than it had any reason to be. The second time, once I’d gotten all the comparisons to other shows out of my system — once I’d stopped...

As we head into the summer, Hulu is shaping up to be one of the most valuable streaming services to have in the month of June. Not only is one of the best shows on television returning for its third season, but the Disney-owned general entertainment platform is also launching a new comedy banner, and FX goes behind the scenes of one of the most explosive situations in recent sports history.
“The Bear” will drop all 10 of its Season 3 episodes on June 27 in what is undoubtedly one of the year’s most anticipated releases. However, that is not the only hot title coming to Hulu in June, the streamer will also launch its “Hulu’s Laughing Now” brand, the sports-focused series “Clipped” that dramatizes the downfall of Donald Sterling as the owner of the LA Clippers, and the documentary “Brats” that brings together members of the legendary Brat Pack to chronicle their rise to fame.

In FX’s Clipped, we first meet Doc Rivers (Laurence Fishburne), the real-life basketball coach of the L.A. Clippers, in 2013 just as he’s taking over the so-called “worst franchise in NBA history.” He has his doubts about the team, especially the presence of their volatile, self-important owner, Donald Sterling (Ed O’Neill), but he knows that his legacy will be sealed forever if he can put a ring on the finger of L.A. basketball’s ugly sister.
The scenes of Rivers whipping these perennial losers into shape are pure shots of sports-drama pathos. After a bracing defeat to a hardier team, the players begin the next training session with Rivers viciously trash-talking each of them. He goes after their personal lives and their partners, hitting them all in their most vulnerable spots. They start barking insults back at him, and then at each other, and he smiles. From that point on,...

Is a Modern Family reunion on the horizon? Star Jesse Tyler Ferguson is stirring up questions with his recent social media post (below) from the show’s set, which he captioned, “Haven’t seen this view in a while.” The show will celebrate 15 years since its debut this fall, which makes now the perfect time for a Pritchett-Dunphy family reunion. But is there anything currently in the works? TV Insider asked series star Ed O’Neill while at the Disney Upfront in New York City on May 14, where he was promoting FX‘s upcoming series Clipped. Jesse Tyler Ferguson via Instagram “I don’t like to do that stuff,” the actor admitted. But as much as he isn’t one for revisiting old characters, O’Neill hasn’t closed the door on such an idea entirely. “I mean, I am open to it,” he says. “I like everybody involved, so I wouldn...

Clipped, the dramatization of the real-life 2013 racism scandal of former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling adapted from both the real-world events and the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast covering them entitled The Sterling Affairs, presented a unique challenge for me as a critic because I don’t follow sports. I never have and what familiarity I do have is mostly related to Philadelphia teams, not Los Angeles.
So, having no prior knowledge or investment in the real-world story, though as far as I can tell it is largely accurate, the LA Clippers, or even professional basketball, would I be able to even follow the narrative, let alone get invested in it? The answer, shockingly enough, is yes. Clipped is a remarkably strong drama with some brilliant performances and a surprising amount of biting political commentary. How did they pull it off? Let’s discuss.

Of L.A.’s two NBA teams, the Clippers have always been like the neglected little brother next to the more glamorous and celebrated Lakers. So it’s fitting, then, that FX’s new Clippers chronicle Clipped — premiering Tuesday, June 4 exclusively on Hulu; I’ve seen all six episodes — pales in comparison to HBO’s superior Lakers saga Winning Time. A gaudy and campy basketball docudrama sung in the key of Ryan Murphy (though Murphy isn’t involved in this production), Clipped bites off far more than it can chew. It’s part underdog sports drama, part overheated soap opera...
