Rosemary Port exposed as Anonymous blogger

I have the feeling the judge who ordered “Anonymous” exposed expected her to be a man.

But it turns out that Rosemary Port, a 29-year-old fashion student, is Anonymous, the blogger who called 37-year-old model Liskula Cohen a “skank,” a “ho” and a “psychotic, lying whore.” Cohen sued Anonymous for defamation, and Manhattan judge Joan Madden ordered Google to reveal the blogger’s name.

Port says there was no defamation because not enough people saw her “Skanks In NY” blog until Cohen sued. She said that, before Cohen drew attention to it, her Web site “probably had two hits”:

“One from me looking at it, and one from her looking at it. Then it became a spectacle.”

Suits, old and new. Port says now she will sue Google for $15 million. She might apologize for the “psychotic lying whore” comment, even if no one took it seriously. But Port is justified in suing, if only to protect our right to free speech.

Meanwhile, Liskula Cohen has dropped her suit against Anonymous. Go figure.
