STAFF REPORT
Jennifer Lopez has filed a lawsuit against ex-husband Ojani Noa and filmmaker Ed Meyer.
Lopez filed papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court for a host of complaints including breach of contract, invasion of privacy and publication of private facts stemming from Noa and Meyer's planned film, "How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The JLo and Ojani Noa Story," as well as his alleged intentions to market "11+ hours of previously unseen home video footage."
According to Lopez's suit, the star's legal team claims to have received an e-mail from Meyer on Nov. 2 describing home videos he had obtained of Lopez featuring the singer/actress "in revealing lack of clothing, and in sexual situations, especially in the hotel room footage from [her and Noa's] honeymoon."
Lopez's legal team claims the movie and shopping of the footage are in violation of a settlement agreement from October 2005 with Noa, which included a non-disparagement clause and a non-disclosure clause.
Lopez is suing for $10 million on each of her six causes of action. In addition, she asked for a temporary restraining order against Meyer and Noa and their people.
Meyer told TheWrap.com that the film, "How I Married Jennifer Lopez" is a "mockumentary."
Lopez and Noa were married from 1997 to 1998. She tied the knot with current husband, singer Marc Anthony, in 2004.
