Wedding Planner actress, Jennifer Lopez was recently granted a temporary restraining order against her first husband, Ojani Noa. Lopez and Noa married in 1997 and divorced 11 quick months later in 1998. During this time he allegedly acquired over 11 hours of private footage of the actress in front of the camera. Some of the footage included the actress “‘fondling herself’ over skimpy clothing and getting spanked,” said a New York Daily News source who saw the footage. Noa was also in possession of photographs of their time together. He claimed that he never intended to sell the home videos but planed on using this footage to create a mockumentary film entitled, “How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The J-Lo and Ojani Noa Story”. He argued that he would not be making money out of the video, wanting to create it simply for “closure” since he is moving on with his life. Clearly a person wanting to move on makes a film using honeymoon home-videos of your ex for the world to see.
After leaving the courtroom on Tuesday, Noa spoke to the press waiting outside stating that Lopez is “destroying my life”. He did not have a lawyer present and argued that the racy videos were only used for inspiration. Noa and his film partner, Ed Meyer were forced to inform magazines and other third parties about the restraining order placed by the judge, as well as give up any material related to the mockumentary.
Jenny from the Block filed a $10 million lawsuit against the ex, maintaining that Noa violated a confidentiality agreement. In 2007, Lopez won $545, 000 because Noa attempted to publish a book about his relationship with the actress. If publishing a book about a past relationship didn’t work, why would the courts allow a film? This book alleged that Lopez had cheated with him with Marc Anthony, her current husband.
Noa stated that he plans to fight Lopez in court. However, Judge James Chalfani believes that the outcome lies in Lopez’s favour. He is scheduled to return to court on December 1. Noa is currently telling the press that his J.Lo is having him followed and sending him death threats. On the contrary, the overachiever is too busy working on her seventh studio to be uttering threats. The album, titled Love? is set to be released in March 2010. Just for fun, here is her latest single, Louboutins, which marks her comeback.
