This 'Do It Well' singer gets an early victory on her attempt to stop her first husband, Ojani Noa, from distributing a tell-all movie with video of their sex life back when they were still a couple.
has got an early breeze on her attempt to stop her former husband, Ojani Noa, from making a movie out of their sex life. On Monday, November 9, the songstress won a temporary restraining order that blocks the distribution of the proposed movie reportedly called "How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The JLo and Ojani Noa Story".
The temporary restraining order was issued by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge James C. Chalfant, who reasoned that the movie may violate an agreement between Lopez and Noa, in which he agreed not to disclose private information about her. It is in effect for at least a day as a court hearing is set to resume on Tuesday, November 10 to determine whether to extend it.
The judge's order didn't apply only on Noa, but also on movie producer Ed Meyer although Meyer's attorney has argued that the filmmaker was not bound by an agreement between the former couple. Meanwhile, Noa who wasn't accompanied by his lawyer on the Monday hearing said simply, "I'm going to fight this", when responding to the restraining order.
Last Friday, November 6, Lopez filled a lawsuit against Noa and Meyer. In the suit, she claimed that the man she was married to from 1997 to 1998 was shopping around for a movie that contains "over 11 hours of previously unseen home video footage" of her and Noa and features her "in a revealing lack of clothing, and in sexual situations, especially in the hotel room from [their] honeymoon."
The singer who is now married to fellow singer Marc Antony is seeking $10 million in damages. She also looked for a court order permanently blocking dissemination of any video showing her and Noa in intimate situations.
This is not the first time Jennifer Lopez went on a court battle with Ojani Noa. In 2006, she sued him over his plans to publish a tell-all book about their life. She claimed the book would violate the nondisclosure, "non-disparagement" agreement they had reached in 2004, and won $545,000 for breach of contract.
