TORONTO – A dating website for married people seeking affairs has slapped an ex-employee with a countersuit after she accused the company of making her type up hundreds of fake profiles of sexy women.
Ashley Madison is countersuing Doriana Silva on allegations she kept confidential documents, including copies of her “work product and training materials.”

The countersuit is filed by Ashley Madison’s parent company, Avid Life Media, and seeks to recover the documents as well as $100,000 in damages plus legal costs.
In her statement of defence, Silva says she held on to copies of the fake profiles she created and documents “related to the creation” of those profiles, but denies they are the property of her former employer.

A spokesman for the company says the documents are related to “quality assurance testing” and include profiles created to test the new Brazilian version of the site for “consistency and reliability.”
Neither party’s claims have been proven in court.
