Vogue Model Sues Google Over Blog's Skankusations

Liskula Cohen, a former Australian Vogue cover model who saw her modeling career end last year when a doorman disfigured her face with a broken bottle, is now taking Google to court to find out who is trashing her on the blog Skanks in NYC. The website, part of Google's Blogger subsidiary, is solely dedicated to maligning the Canadian model with photos and insults about her "horsey face" and the "desperation seeping from her soul, if she even has one" and how she's "a psychotic, lying, whoring, still going to clubs at her age, skank."

Of course, few people had ever heard of Skanks in NYC before this week, when the tabloids caught wind of the lawsuit, so Cohen's strategy may have backfired a little. But she tells the Daily News she just wants to find out who's behind it so she can know who her enemies are. She insists the blog, which awarded her "first place" for "Skankiest in NYC," is "petty, it's stupid and it's pathetic." Cohen also admits that "if I had to deal with everyone who is jealous, I wouldn't have time to do anything else." But apparently when an anonymous hater wonders, "How old is this skank? 40 something?," it's worth making time for legal action. Because Cohen is only 36, bitches.

That blog has like five posts on it. Two of which are about Liskula. Nobody but a self-obsessed former model could possibly think it matters. And yes, I'll bet she has done more to publicize this stupid blog than anyone else. Poor woman, but what an idiot.

Wza

This is dumb.

This case shows hatred towards women in so many levels.

FIRST the fuck that broke that bottle in her face seem to only have gotten ONLY 30 days in Jail! WTF? ANd that same fuck seemed to been doing the same drunk rage glass in face to women in other places.

Then to dedicate a blog to hate somebody for her sexual attitudes in relation to her age...plainly misogynistic

I wonder if she ever sued the Looser that broke the bottle on her face...maybe there wasn't a penny in his pocket.

The news here should be who the fuck is this guy?

fugothamist

who saw her modeling career end last year when a doorman disfigured her face with a broken bottle, is now taking Google to court to find out who is trashing her on the blog Skanks in NYC.
so someone decided that a woman who had her face cut up by a bottle needed to be regularly insulted as well?

it the blogger some little loser she turned down for a date?

no way. it has to be done by a jealous woman, men don't get that catty when they're rejected.

I like when it's instantly "jealousy" whenever someone says something bad about someone else. I think when people are truly jealous they hide it. Anyhoo, who cares what someone says about you on some website?

wowthatsucks

Kinda ironic when one of her Friendster photos is captioned "Me being a big ho..."

OR a publicity stunt for an aging model that the industry is forgetting.

I'm sure she is grateful for the added publicity you have provided...

This blogger nicely conveys a sense of what terrific mortal pain he or she must be in.

There are no limits to some people's cruelty. If she ever finds the identity of her maligner, it will turn out that the person will be unknow to her.
