LOPEZ TRYING TO STOP EX-HUSBAND’S TELL-ALL: Book reportedly details their first sexual encounter, mother’s alleged racism and other tidbits.
*Ojani Noa, the one-time husband of Jennifer Lopez, is being pressured by the singer’s attorneys to keep his planned tell-all book from seeing the light of day.
According to E!, lawyers for the entertainer filed for a preliminary injunction in April to stop Noa from moving forward with his planned book, “The Unknown Truth: A Passionate Portrait of a Serial Thriller,” alleging that he offered to leave the tome alone if Lopez gave him $5 million. She is also requesting that he not be able to profit at all from any private details about their relationship, whether they are published in the book or not.
According to the latest filing, Noa is planning to write about J.Lo’s "multiple duplicitous sexual affairs" on the set of 1997's “Anaconda” and about her having a relationship with Marc Anthony while he was still married to Dayanara Torres and while Lopez was still dating Sean "Diddy" Combs. The court documents also state that Noa’s book accuses the singer’s mother, Guadalupe Lopez, of being racist and having a gambling problem.
Also among the more than 285 pages of documents filed Friday was the allegation that Noa recently tried to sell videos of Lopez primping for their wedding and honeymoon and another featuring her in a skimpy bikini to the National Enquirer.
"Sadly, no personal detail is too sacred to be sold by Noa for profit," the papers, filed by Lopez's attorney, Paul Sorrell, state. "Noa will do anything within his power to make money off his ex-wife--and thinks nothing of willfully breaching the agreement and hurting [Lopez] in the process. He is out of control."
According to E!, the agreement he's referring to is a $125,000 settlement reached by both Lopez and Noa after he sued her for allegedly failing to keep a promise to let him manage one of her restaurants. As part of the settlement, Noa was told he could not divulge any intimate details about his former wife or their relationship for monetary gain.
Sorrell is due in court today to argue for the injunction against Noa's lawyer, Robert Vasquez, who filed a six-page document last week denying Lopez's allegations that his client's "compliance could be bought for the right price."
All of this started back in April after the New York Post reported Noa was shopping around the project in which each chapter was named after a title of one of Lopez's films.
"I mean, I live in a free country, no? I can express myself," Noa said in a deposition taken earlier this month. "I can talk and say whatever I want to."
Lopez and Noa were married for 13 months – from Feb. 1997 to Mar. 1998.
