Woman sues Rogers for exposing her affair

According to the Toronto Star, a woman has sued Rogers Wireless for $600,000 after a billing mix up wound up tipping off her husband to an affair she was having. The couple started receiving a unified bill after they tacked Internet and TV service on top of the woman’s previously solo Rogers Wireless bill. Needless to say, the husband got his hand on the new combined bill and found a number of multi-hour calls to an unfamiliar number. The woman’s attorney claims that Rogers is responsible for the breakup (and her subsequent job loss):

“The husband used the previously private and confidential information that the defendant unilaterally disclosed to the husband to inquire about the people that the plaintiff was telephoning and the nature of such calls,” the statement of claim says. The statement alleges Rogers “unilaterally terminated its cellular contract with the plaintiff that had been in her maiden name and included it in the husband’s account that was under his surname.”

Rogers obviously says they’re not responsible for the couple’s breakup, which their lawyer claims would have happened “regardless of the form in which the plaintiff and her husband received their invoices.” Of course not having an affair would be a nice way to avoid your husband finding out you’re having an affair, and Rogers isn’t responsible for infidelity.
