Rosemary Port (pictured left) is a writer that had a blog called “Skanks in NYC.”  The blog apparently defamed a model by the name of Liskula Cohen.  Cohen sued Google, who was forced by a judge to reveal the Port’s identity.  Port was anonymously blogging under a Google Blogger account.

Now that Port’s identity is out in the open, she is mad and is not going to take it.  This is why she has informed the media that she plans to sue Google for $15 million for allowing invasion of privacy.  Port is a 27 year old studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.

She is specifically suing Google for “breaching its fiduciary duty to protect her expectation of anonymity.”  Given that Google probably has a team of lawyers on retainer, Port may have a hard time seeing any money coming out of Google but at least she is getting more publicity out of the whole situation.

A 29 year old girl by the name of Rosemary Port (pictured left) was the author of a blog called Skanks in NYC.  The blog heavily criticized model Liskula Cohen (pictured right). On the blog, Cohen was called an “old hag” and other defamatory comments.  As a result, Cohen decided to send an injunction to Google subsidiary Blogger.com to reveal the identity of the anonymous blog writer.

Cohen won the injunction last week.  Cohen decided to tell her lawyer Steven Wagner to drop a $3 million lawsuit against Port because she was willing to let by-gones be by-gones.  “This is about forgiveness,” Cohen said. “It adds nothing to my life to hurt hers. I wish her happiness.”

Port is upset at Google for revealing her identity and felt that her privacy has been tampered with.  Port is also scared that her name is public.  The reason why Port wrote defamatory comments against Cohen is because Cohen supposedly talked negatively about Port’s boyfriend Daniel Dimin.
