It comes as no surprise to hear that Donald and Shelly Sterling aren't exactly seeing eye-to-eye right now. Shelly is trying to sell Donald's precious Los Angeles Clippers—and Donald isn't all that happy about it.

But during a court hearing yesterday afternoon, Donald let everyone know exactly how he feels about Shelly at the moment after she provided some testimony about him. As she walked back to her seat, she passed Donald—who was sitting near the front of the courtroom—and he made a very disrespectful comment to her loud enough for everyone else to hear.

"Stay away from me, you pig," he said.

He tried to say more, too, but Judge Michael Levanas cut him off before he could and told Donald not to talk to Shelly. He also chastised him for what he said to her.

"Please don't make any comments to your wife," he said. "That's somewhat disturbing."

Somewhat? The guy just called his wife a "pig" in front of dozens of people.

Then again, this is Donald Sterling we're talking about. So maybe we should just be glad that he didn't get to go any further with his comments. It could have gotten really ugly in the courtroom.
