ShareMelbourne: Jennifer Lopez has filed a lawsuit worth 10 million dollars against her ex-husband Ojani Noa for using home videos of her having sex in a satirical documentary about their short-lived marriage.
Lopez, 40, has made the claim against Noa and another man, Ed Meyer, saying the duo have produced and marketed a proposed film called How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The J.Lo and Ojani Noa Story, which has footage of her saving sex, including on her honeymoon, and nudity.
Lopez also alleges that Meyer sent her attorney an email stating that he had bought from Noa the "exclusive rights" to "11-plus hours of previously unseen home video footage" of the ex-couple.
She claims a second alleged email from Meyer to her lawyer described the footage as showing Lopez "in (a) revealing lack of clothing, and in sexual situations, especially in the hotel room footage from (her and Noa's) honeymoon."
Noa was married to the actress-cum-singer between 1997 and 1998 and according to a legally binding settlement he had agreed not to release any information about the former couple's time as husband and wife.
And now, Lopez's legal team has issued a cease-and-desist missive demanding that he scrap all his plans for the film.
She filed suit at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday claiming the terms of their settlement have been broken.
However, Noa has laughed off the threats, insisting his movie is "100% parody" and therefore does not breach the agreement the pair made in 2005.
Lopez, who is married to singer Marc Anthony, is demanding a permanent ban on Noa releasing any footage of her, and wants a whopping 10 million dollars in damages.
