Jennifer Lopez has lost her legal fight against ex-husband Ojani Noa to publish home videos from then they were married.
Jennifer Lopez’s legal battle to keep embarrassing home video from her first marriage under wraps has failed.
The singer’s ex-husband Ojani Noa has won the fight, that has been ongoing for years, to release footage from their short lived marriage.
Noa managed to find a loophole in the law that allowed the release of the tape.
He apparently sold the footage to his girlfriend Claudia Vazquez for her to release, according to RadarOnline.
The American Idol judge had successfully managed to block the release, saying that Noa making the footage public violated the confidentiality agreement that he signed after he divorced the star.
In a ruling issued by a Los Angeles judge Saturday morning, Vasquez is now allowed to release the footage that JLo has been battling so hard to keep under lock and key.
Ed Meyer who is Noa’s agent and the executive producer of the project said the release of the tape is now imminent.
‘Claudia Vazquez has been allowed to release the home videos of Ojani and Jennifer’.
‘The project will deal with JLo’s rise to fame, and her marriage to Ojani’.
‘Claudia will be meeting with video distributors on Tuesday, and hopefully a deal can be made very soon,’ he added.
The written ruling states: ‘Vasquez argues she has and is suffering harm in that she has had difficulty in obtaining work as a result of Lopez’s attempts at enforcing the injunction against her.’
Lopez and Noa married in February 1997 after meeting when he worked as a waiter in Miami.
They divorced just a year later but remained friends as Lopez appointed him to work in her restaurant Madres in April 2002.
She fired him in October of that year and that is when she made her ex-husband sign a confidentiality agreement.
