Jennifer Lopez Tries to Stop Ex From Making a Film About Her

Jennifer Lopez is telling her first husband to back off in a cease and desist letter her attorneys sent the producers of How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The J-Lo and Ojani Noa Story. The movie chronicles her relationship to the Cuban waiter in what is being described by the filmmakers as a “mockumentary.”

According to Lopez’s lawyers, the flick is in violation of a 2007 court order injunction that forbids Ojani Noa from sharing “private or intimate details” about the 40-year-old diva. The legal doc was issued two years ago when word got out that he was about to write a tell-all about their yearlong (1997–1998) marriage, detailing her alleged infidelities, including the time he found her shacked up in a hotel room with Diddy.

Still, Noa is sticking by the film, and is calling it a Borat-style parody. “The whole movie is about me coming to this country and getting my dream shut down by somebody who I thought was a good person,” he told TheWrap.com. “I was totally in love with her. I gave my soul to her. It wasn’t my fault she shared it with 3 people. I was angry.” Hmmm, doesn’t exactly sound like light fare.

In a recent interview, Lopez did admit to not taking her marriages, pre–Marc Anthony, seriously: “I don’t even think I tried in my other marriages, which was immature and not knowing better. I believe that in life you learn through experience. I’m old enough to know now that relationships take work. That it’s not an easy thing.”

The aftermath of a relationship can also be difficult, as Lopez, no doubt, has learned. Ojani Noa is not the first guy to bad-mouth the beautiful Boricua. Earlier this year, Ben Affleck spoke about his time with Lopez, saying, “I felt suffocated, miserable and gross.” Ouch! Hopefully, the mother of two will be able to put the kibosh on Noa’s story before it goes any further.

Poor guy he seemed so naive, but you can never underestimate someone right!!! Anyway, if your not going to take marriage seriously than it should be just a fling, and not marriage. Let's just hope she does not get a taste of her own medicine one day. She's done a whole lot of wrong, but so have too many of us. When some people are young they make stupid mistakes, and also hurt other people. It seems this guy may have been hurt, and the diva was to into herself to care. Jenny, just stay settled with Marc please, and try to focus on family, and how to be a good example for your people; and make positive changes. LEARN from OPRAH, I love that woman. Oprah has helped so many people, that's why she's sooooo blessed. Oprah even opened a school for young African American girls, who will one day be leaders in society, why can't you do something like this for your own kind? Girl, beauty will not last for ever, or be honored...it's what you do for others, and how you respect yourself that will be honored, and remembered; and respected by the public eye, and G-d most importantly. We all have made our mistakes, but now your a woman, a mother, a wife; respect yourself please, and try to help others, and be a positive example for young Latinas. G-d bless you sister, I know I have said some really negative things about you, but I too have made some things I am not proud of; but deep down I know I have a heart, and just did not have parents to teach me since I was at my own since 13. Jenny if you could read this, I think I see some good in you, and maybe you too have been hurt, and perhaps that's all you too have know, and have made a vow to yourself to shelter your heart. Put whatever it is behind you, you have nobody to impress. Yes your career must reflect materialism, but your heart should reflect a life of family, love and respect for yourself, and others. I cannot judge you, but as a sister (Puerto Rican) I can only say take a good look at your past, and don't repeat the same mistakes. Take care, and sorry for the negative words. G-d bless.
