Nothing Close to Sex Found in Jennifer Lopez's Honeymoon Tape

Jennifer Lopez's lawyer states that the home video the songstress' ex-husband is trying to distribute contains no sex, but is 'still private and personal' to her.

Soon after a protective order was placed on Jennifer Lopez's intimate home videos, it was uncovered that unlike what has been speculated earlier, the tape her ex-husband Ojani Noa tried to distribute doesn't contain any sexual situations. Lopez's attorney John Lavely told People, "There wasn't anything close to sex in it. We never alleged that. But it's still private and personal to my client."

Although the 11-plus hours footage do not include sex footage between the "Louboutins" singer and her ex, the ban on the distribution of the tape stayed. On Tuesday, December 1, a Los Angeles judge has agreed to uphold a ruling forbidding Noa from using the video for a mockumentary about his life as a Cuban immigrant.

Responding to the hearing result, Noa said outside the courtroom, "They're trying to stop me from making my documentary and I'm fighting for my rights. They're not being fair." He also slammed report that he tried to sell the footage as a sex tape. His film partner Claudia Vazquez added that a tabloid misinterpreted the using of the honeymoon tape.

Noa's manager Ed Meyer has explained that they are still seeking to bring the matter to court. "We plan to bring up this order and many other issues in court," he told E! News. "We were never noticed, nor invited to this hearing today, even though we are the defendants." He added, "We are still trying to fully decipher Judge [James] Chalfant's exact order, which was written in Sharpie pen."

Vazquez, in the meantime, implied that the project has undergone title change. Previously titled "How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The JLo and Ojani Noa Story", it will now be called "The Escape". On the change done, she explained that the new title was chosen because it refers to Noa having fled his home country.

Jennifer Lopez filled a lawsuit against Ojani Noa and Ed Meyer on November 6. 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."

At the time, the singer who is now married to fellow singer Marc Anthony was said 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.
