According to
The Star, the ex-employee, Doriana Silva, accused the company of having her create the alleged phony profiles to lure men to the site. The website is now counter-suing her, claiming that she kept confidential documents, such as "work product and training materials."
According to
National Post, The suit seeks to recover the documents that Silva has, as well as $100,000 in damages and legal costs.
Silva says that she held on to the copies of the profiles she made, and that her former employer does not own them.
According to
Toronto Life, Avid Life Media, Ashley Madison's parent company, has not admitted that it planted fake profiles on the site.
Silva is reportedly suing for $20 million for Avid's "unjust enrichment."
