A Canadian model has finally confronted an anonymous female blogger who called her offensive names on a Google website.
Liskula Cohen, who successfully sued Google to unmask the blogger, told Good Morning America on Wednesday that she called her tormentor and said she forgives her.
Cohen, who got her start in modelling in Toronto, did not reveal the blogger's name but said she was an acquaintance whom Cohen saw at parties and restaurants.
The Vogue cover girl says she has not ruled out suing the blogger.
The anonymous remarks targeting Cohen's hygiene and sexual habits were posted on Google's Blogger.com.
The blogger's lawyer, Anne Salisbury, argued in court that although the comments may have been disgusting they were opinions and protected as free speech.
