A former Australian Vogue cover model, whose modeling career ended last year after a doorman disfigured her face with a broken bottle, has obtained a court order to learn the identity of an anonymous blogger who created a site called "Skanks in NYC" to insult her. The site, which was hosted by Google subsidiary Blogger.com, featured photos of Liskula Cohen with captions using the words "skank," "ho" and "whoring." (It's no longer active, but Blogger says "the name skanksnyc is available to register!") A Manhattan judge ruled yesterday that Cohen is entitled to file a defamation lawsuit, and Google must reveal the blogger's identity in order for her to do so. Speaking to the Post, Cohen's lawyer said something that might give some website commenter trolls pause: "The rules for defamation on the Web—for actual reality as well as virtual reality—are the same. The Internet is not a free-for-all." But a lawyer for the Skanks in NYC blogger insists, "You can be really, really mean to people—you just can't lie about a set of facts that are provable as lies." As for Cohen, she tells the Post, "I really hope it's not somebody I know."

wow, face fucked up w/ a broken bottle & skank ho site made just for her. sounds like she made some people happy.
 
In this article (CNN) Ruling could let model find, sue online heckler - CNN.com her lawyer openly states she did it for the publicity, hah. Obviously nobody would have known about the blog if she hadn't sued. And she is complaining about trouble finding jobs because of it? Well that's entirely her fault.

And what's with the even dumber bitch who created it not using a proxy? Jeez.
