A new picture of V. Stiviano and ex-lover Donald Sterling was released today, giving another taste of the May-December couple's strange dynamic. In the image exclusively obtained by InTouch, Stiviano jokingly holds a knife up to Sterling's throat while dining out at a Los Angeles steak house a year ago - a symbolic omen of the backstabbing to come. 'It was typical V., being crazy,' Rachel Rodriguez, a former friend of the couple, told the magazine.
