I read that article and found to be funny. lol cheater got caught.

[cwp_sedan]

What a joke! Sucks to be her!!!! BUSTED!!

[hit26k]

I find it hilarious that Rogers is the one to be blamed and not her. And for $600,000, HA! Good luck with that.

i agree with the invasion of privacy claim, since no changes to the account should be done without the consent of the primary account holder, especially if the statement that a third party was able to obtain access to her VM password through rogers stands. However, i dont see rogers being held responsible for her marriage break-up, since it was the fact of cheating that caused it.

It is pretty bad that the third-party was able to gain access to the woman's VM password, but if you really think about it, it wouldn't be that hard to do. Rogers as well as many other companies are brutal like that security wise.

Never let logic stand in the way of blaming OTHER people for ones own stupidity. That seems to the mantra of this day and age.

Those are some pretty severe breaches to privacy regardless to the fact that she was cheating on her husband. Rogers shouldn't have consolidated the billings, nor should the ex-lover in the affair obtain access to the voice mail (if that "claim" is true which I find hard to believe).

[FoXy]

She got what she deserved.

And for Rogers... well we all know they are crooked, I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Gotta say tho, shes got gaul trying to sue for it, now everyone knows shes a a cheating you know what. lol

1+ but then blaims rogers thats shes cheating on her husband/boyfriend like wtf lol

[optiklenz13]

LMAO!!!

this is like the scenario where, if a person goes into the confessional box and tells the priest that he planted a bomb where there's thousand of people around it and everybody's going to die.

I know priests are not allowed to disclose information that are confessed, but I know in this case he would, human nature, he would.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, if the priest will tell, Rogers will. :chuckle

[bman13]

I hope Rogers loses this case :)

[Rob23]

what a dumb bitch haha

[loganm3]

Ha, this is more proof that Rogers loves to ruin people's lives!

[m_bisson]

skanky hoebag.

And the girl that did the cheating isn't much better.

[jonjon72]

I'm a cheater, put my my marriage on the line and two children. Who do I blame? not me! Some people are complete idiots! Here's some advice.........DON"T CHEAT!

i will play devil's advocate here again, just to underline the fact that from my understanding (which of course could be wrong) the media is putting it in perspective as if the woman is suing rogers for dissolution of her marriage, while in fact she is suing them for the invasion of privacy. we can judge her all we want for cheating, fully warranted, but the issue of invasion of privacy and the fact that 2 ppl that weren't account holders were able to access her account, obtain information and make changes to it is rather scary.

i know the article had to put the outrageous spin on the situation to be worth publishing, which i must admit does come out to be ridiculously shocking. but i hate seeing the focus being taken away from the main issue. we often give up our rights to privacy without even thinking twice when we accept terms and conditions of various things such as software, social media, workplace etc often without even reading (not a big deal on a small scale, but it adds up). realistically we have very little privacy left, and it does reach a point where it seems that we have to fight for our basic right to privacy.

[-cj-]

I think the thing that will ruin her whole case will be this statement:

“My husband didn't tell me that's how he found out, he just left.”

[prinsesa]

ROGERS ruined her marriage?????
Uhhh, no..SHE ruined her own marriage. Stupid #@$#@%#

There was a breach of privacy, but really, if she wouldnt have cheated, I don't think she wouldve complained that the accounts were collected under one, since she didnt have anything to hide.

[Turok]

That's too funny, sucka I that's what you get for cheating or not being careful about it. She's paying for it now and I hope rogers loses the case as well.. I can't stand rogers.

[SilentJay]

Technically, Rogers did breach her contract which did say that Rogers can't change her personal information, but I recall learning about something in contract law (one of the few times I was awake in class) - A contract (Rogers) cannot be made or enforced when it is based on an inelligible, criminal or fraudulent act (breaking marriage contract).

Although I agree with you that the suit is about invasion of privacy, I think this part (i.e. the damages that the action caused) is also outrageous:
"After her husband left her and their two children, ages 6 and 7, she was so distraught her work performance suffered and she lost her job as an apartment rental agent that had paid her almost $100,000 until she was let go in Oct. 10, 2007. “The plaintiff wept uncontrollably at her workplace . . . and became incapable of performing her employment duties,” reads the statement of claim. Nagy says the employer was aware of the situation and that she was receiving medical attention."

So the actual lawsuit is claiming that the invasion of privacy led to the end of her marriage and destroyed her ability to function at work - thus the damages that are being claimed. I think its pretty outrageous to claim that this "invasion of privacy" is directly responsible for her inability to function at work. Also, who knows if that was only one day she broke down at work? My wife has seen mulitple people have such a day at her workplace within the last three months! And they are still there working fine the next day.

Again I'm not completely disagreeing with you, but given the particular circumstances I also don't buy that it is as serious a privacy breach as the suit alleges. It may not be by the book, but given that both husband and wife were receiving bills at the same address, and that he may have given consent to a consolidated bill (its not mentioned), I don't find it that out of the ordinary. The only other circumstance I can think of would be if he was a landlord and the woman was a tenant; then Rogers should obviously not consolidate the bill, but what type of damages would they be liable for in that situation.

I think that when (if) it comes to court, the arguments will be that
a) since they were actually married, and
b) any loss of privacy can only be directly linked to her husband leaving
even if Rogers is accountable for releasing her account details to her husband, the damages incurred (unable to work) are not directly Rogers' responsibility.

I completely agree. Its not rogers fault she lost her job. I mean eventually people get caught and this just happened to make her get caught sooner. How was Rogers to know that she had a separate bill sent there because she was cheating. I mean think about it this way, because she cheated, if they get divorced she gets nothing. Now that she has acted immature and gotten caught and dealt with it poorly so she got fired she's just looking to sue someone for some money cus she knows shes effed. She has no job and isn't gettin squat from her husband in the separation. Again, she got what she deserved... alone and broke. Hopefully he still pays for the children, but she should get nothing, cept maybe a point and laugh!! hahahaha

wow at this point im more amazed at the fact that most of you don't seem to be bothered by the fact that rogers had allowed 2 ppl access an account that wasnt theirs, provided them with private information on it and allowed them to make changes.

i mean im totally with you on the 'cheater got caught' and the 'ha-ha!.. SUCKER!', but i still find it incredibly bothering that anyone who knows some of my personal information can be allowed to access my account. i guess what im trying to say is that i wish rogers is held accountable for that in order for them to toughen their security measures and if it has to be by the means of an outrageous law suit, then be it.

That info should have never been giving to the other two people since their names were not on her account

[condor888000]

Rogers claims that a request was made for single billing...or at least that's what the story I read said.

I have to agree. My prediction is that she will win her case and the jury will award her $1.00 but no damages.

nice catch smartie pants! :chuckle typical media BS. but the 3rd party accessing v/m is "alleged" (by her 'statement of claim')a probable lie, unless there's proof they couldn't access their v/m ie: husband called Rogers for a reset. There will be a log of that from the agent that took his call.

As for the billing efficiency - I can see it happening like this:
Agent: "Sir you can bundle all your Rogers services into one bill and you'll save 15% (taxes) yadda, yadda....
Husband "Sure!" knowing that wifey has a Rogers cell, as I'm sure he's picked up the mail sometimes (Duh!), and know she has a Rogers cell. (he may never have opened that previous separate mailing before).

Equals one busted dumbass who's never bought a cell from a gas station to sneak around with.... :thumbsup
