November 06, 2009, (Sawf News) - Jennifer Lopez filed a lawsuit on Friday, November 6, seeking to stop her former husband, Ojani Noa, from releasing a film on their short marriage.
In the lawsuit filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Lopez claims the film - expressively titled: "How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The JLo and Ojani Noa Story" – violates an existing confidentiality agreement between the two.
According to TMZ, the lawsuit also alleges that Noa plans to release "11+ hours of previously unseen home video footage of Jennifer Lopez and Ojani Noa."
The footage depicts Lopez "in a revealing lack of clothing, and in sexual situations, especially in the hotel room from honeymoon."
The filed legal documents also include a claim by Lopez's attorney that he received a letter from a producer working with Noa stating that he had "entered into a contractual agreement" with TMZ for the "exclusive rights to the ... home movies."
According to TMZ, there was "never any such agreement."
The lawsuit also seeks $10 million for breach of contract and invasion of privacy.
Lopez met Cuban-born Ojani Noa while he worked as a waiter at a Miami restaurant. Their marriage in February 1997 lasted just 11 months.
Noa later worked as the manager of Lopez's Pasadena restaurant Madre's, from April 2002 to October 2002 when she fired him. Noa sued Lopez over the termination following which the two entered into a confidentiality agreement.
In 2006, Lopez sued Noa to stop him from publishing a tell-all tome on the grounds that it violated their confidentiality agreement.
