The online post designed to ruin my life

How a scandalous lie made Monika Glennon fight back against anonymous internet trolls

Monika Glennon is a Polish-born estate agent living in the US. One morning she got a frantic call from a colleague: an explicit post had been written about Monika, claiming she had an affair with a client and that she was a ‘homewrecker’. The story was fabricated, but as it became the first hit when you googled her name, Monika began to lose business, fell into a depression, and even feared for her life. Who was behind the post? She tells Jo Fidgen her shocking story. (Photo credit: Rich Ortiz.)
