Mother said Josh Powell threatened her
NEW YORK, Aug. 18 (UPI) -- A New York judge says Google Inc. must turn over the name of an anonymous blogger accused of defaming a supermodel.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Joan Madden Monday found that blond model Liskula Cohen has grounds to sue the blogger for defamation after she was depicted on a Blogger.com Web site with the words "ho," "skank" and "whoring," the New York Post reported.
Madden said Google, which owns and operates Blogger.com, must supply Cohen with the writer's identity so she can pursue her defamation case, the newspaper said.
"The thrust of the blog is that (Cohen) is a sexually promiscuous woman," Madden wrote in her decision, citing descriptions of Cohen as "whoring" and "ready to engage in oral sexual activity," and as such, the cover girl is entitled to insist that Google reveal the blogger's identity to her.
"I really hope it's not somebody I know," Cohen, 27, told the Post. "I'm a human being. I bleed. I have feelings. When I saw that blog, it was awful."
