A Canadian woman has been at the centre of an online harassment campaign after she posted a video defending trans rights online.
However, beyond the online harassment, the woman alleges that a Bell support contractor looked into her file and shared her information with others to harass her further.
In an attempt to escape the harassment, she changed her number, a $55 charge at Bell. She alleges that almost immediately, the harassers had her new number. She also obtained screenshots from a group chat that show messages her harassers shared regarding how they scared her enough to change her number.
She’s now hired a lawyer and served a statement of claim to Bell’s contractor Nordia, who handled her calls when she changed her number. Bell told the CBC that it hasn’t been hit with a claim or lawsuit yet, so it has nothing to comment on.
The lawyer mentioned in the CBC report that Bell and Nordia are unwilling to settle out of court.
