Woman Sues Cell Phone Service Provider: Alleges that the Bill Ruined Her Marriage by Outing Her Extramarital Affair

Earlier this week the National Post reported this story that a woman is suing Rogers Wireless, Canada’s largest cellphone provider, alleging that the invoice for the service exposed her extramarital affair causing the breakdown of her marriage.

In a nutshell, the woman said that her husband left her after discovering her affair as revealed by the cell phone bill. According to documents filed before the Ontario Superior Court, the plaintiff stated that she was devastated after her husband’s departure and subsequently lost her job because she was unable to function. She has asked for $600,000 in damages.

Apparently the cellphone bills in question had been delivered directly to the plaintiff until her husband signed up for other services from the same provider. The services, including the wireless phone, were then bundled together in one invoice, which was sent to the husband.

The defendant denies all claims and said the cause of the breakdown of the plaintiff’s marriage was her extramarital affair, not the bill in question. The communication giant further states that there are no legal grounds for the claim.

None of the allegations have been proven in court. The outcome remains to be see.
