J Lo, Carrie Prejean: Celebs Caught on Tape in 'Sexual Situations'
Jennifer Lopez temporarily halts ex-husband from peddling movie with racy clips.
Nov. 10, 2009— -- Jennifer Lopez was young, in love and not yet known as JLo when she made some reportedly racy home movies with first husband Ojani Noa.
Now Lopez is an A-list celebrity and mother of twins, and she is accusing Noa, who describes himself as an "immigrant, chef and model," of trying to peddle more than 11 hours of unseen home video footage of "sexual situations" from their honeymoon.
Yesterday, Lopez won a temporary restraining order in Los Angeles Superior Court barring Noa from distributing the film. The order will remain in effect until a hearing to decide whether to extend it is completed. The hearing resumes today.
"I'm going to fight this," Noa said outside the courtroom.
Last Friday, Lopez slapped Noa with a $10 million breach of contract suit to try to stop him from marketing the footage and to prevent the production of a film called "How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The J Lo and Ojani Noa Story," which Noa described as the story of Lopez's "tumultuous first marriage."
Lopez and Noa were married for less than a year in 1997 and 1998, just as she was breaking out as a star in the biopic "Selena."
Lopez is also suing the film's executive producer, Ed Meyer, who claims to have acquired from Noa exclusive rights to the footage. According to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by ABCNews.com, the film and recording star is seen "in revealing lack of clothing, and in sexual situations, especially in the hotel room footage from (her and Noa's) honeymoon."
But Claudia Vazquez, another producer of the film, told ABCNews.com that there is "nothing sexual" about the footage. "She's in a bikini, swimming in the pool," she said. "There are some situations in the hotel room where they are talking and playing around, but it's more like romantic."
Vazquez said the plan was never to sell the footage but to use it as research for the movie and possibly include clips of it in the final film.
Vazquez called the film a "mockumentary" or parody about Noa's life from the time he left Cuba on a raft to the aftermath of his marriage to Lopez, whom she said he's never gotten over despite the way he was treated. Vazquez said Noa initiated their divorce after Lopez had multiple affairs.
"He was pretty much abused," Vazquez said. "She's not a very good person and that's why she's been trying so hard to push this guy to stop."
