Model Liskula Cohen Sues Google to Reveal Blogger's Identity
The New York Daily Newsreports that fashion model Liskula Cohen has filed suit to get Google's Blogger service to reveal the name of a blogger that called her the "#1 skanky superstar," among other things.
"It's petty, it's stupid and it's pathetic," Cohen said of the sniping. "And when I do find out who did this, at least I'll know who my enemies are."
The defamation suit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, seeks a court order compelling Google and its Blogger.com service to identify whoever led the vicious Internet assault against Cohen.
Her lawyer Steven Wagner conceded it's not easy to identify bloggers who lob insults anonymously, as New York courts have generally declined to force them into the light.
"We think we have a case," he said. "This is libelous, it's defamatory and you shouldn't just get away with this."
Liskula has modeled for Giorgio Armani and Versace. You can find more about her here and here. She says she's had trouble finding modeling work after being hit by a bottle of vodka in a Manhattan club in 2007.
