Gotcha! Liskula Cohen, a former Vogue covergirl, won a court ruling forcing Google to reveal the identity of an anonymous blogger who referred to her as a “skank” — and worse — in a series of online rants, has identified her attacker.

Four months ago, Cohen, 37, petitioned the Manhattan Supreme Court to discover who had attacked her so she could sue for defamation. The model claims she has lost job opportunities thanks to the scandalous accusations made by her online phantom.

“Finding new clients this year has not been a walk in the park,” Cohen told Good Morning America on Wednesday. “I’ve worked very long in this industry.”

The blog was eventually taken down. Google said it sympathized with the victims of “cyberbullying,” but also respected the privacy of its users. As a result, it only divulged the IP address of the blooger after it was ordered to do so by a judge.

The Skanks in NYC blog featured several unflattering photos of Miss Cohen and described her alleged sexual exploits. “I would have to say that first place award for ‘Skankiest in NYC’ would have to go to Liskula Gentile Cohen.”

Cohen, a former Australians Vogue covergirl, was also referred to as a “40-something” who “may have been hot 10 years ago”, the blogger wrote. Captions also described her as a “psychotic, lying, whoring … skank.”

Cohen said it was a woman she hadn’t seen in about a year, but who was a regular fixture at dinners and parties, but not, as she’d feared, someone who was close to her.

“Thank God it was her she’s an irrelevant person in my life,” Cohen tells Diane Sawyer. “She’s just somebody that, whenever I would go out to a restaurant, to a party in New York City she was just that girl that was always there.”

Cohen and her lawyer, Steven Wagner, are planning a defamation suit against the blogger.
