[QUOTE]A Portland woman is suing Gawker Media and its founder Nick Denton for $74,000, saying the website defamed her and invaded her privacy with a 2007 tech gossip item.
Teresa Thomas filed the lawsuit in Multnomah County Circuit Court on Thursday against Gawker, Denton and executive editor John Cook. She says the implications in Gawker's blog post caused her to suffer personally and professionally, because the author speculated she was dating her boss at tech company Yahoo.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]In 2007, Thomas was employed at Yahoo, in the human resources department. Her lawsuit says after she left Yahoo to pursue other job opportunities, she struck up a relationship with Steve Moore, then-head of Yahoo's internal "Media Group."
The Gawker post suggested that Thomas left Yahoo because she started dating Moore—connecting her departure to Moore's conflicts with company rivals.
The post, written by Nicholas Carlson, was titled, "He pushes them out, she does the paperwork."[/QUOTE]
Even if she wins she won't see a penny. She should've filed 9 years ago
"Stop, stop! He's already dead!"

They already are in the dirt, because iirc Hulk Hogan won more than the entire company made in 2015 in the lawsuit.

If anything Hogan should just take said horse to the glue factory and get it over with
Might as well give them absolutely no chance of recovery, Its what id do if i was that thirsty for revenge.
Basically overkill at this point. Probable that the Hogan case was what sparked this woman's interest again.
With all the recent repercussions the whole network faces, it will hopefully encourage future clickbaity "journalist" sites to not choose the same path Gawker took at the very least.

Doesn't matter what "sparked" her "interest."
Many rape victims of Bill Cosby acquired the courage to speak out against Bill Cosby after other victims did the same thing. Some people need reassurances that their cause is right.
Do they even have any money?
She might just want justice to be done, screw the money.
And the more in debt they get the less chances of them ever coming back under a new name or something and it sends a message to all other dumbasses like them out there.
