J-Lo Wins Arbitration Suit
August 9th, 2007
Jennifer Lopez has won approximately $545,000 from her ex-husband in a lawsuit arbitration.
Lopez’s first husband, Ojani Noa, had planned to publish a ghostwritten book detailing intimacies that occurred during their 11 month marriage. Details of the book were released in January 2006 in a New York Post article. Publishing of the book would violate the terms of a nondisclosure, “non-disparagement” agreement that Lopez and Noa had agreed to in a previous legal settlement.
The book was supposedly filled with juicy tales including that Lopez had multiple affairs including one with her current husband, Marc Anthony. Anthony was also married at the time.
Lopez was awarded $200,000 for breach of contract damages, $300,000 in lawyer’s fees and $48,000 in arbitration costs. Jennifer was also awarded a permanent injunction barring any ”criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging or causing disparagement” from Noa.
Marc Anthony and J-Lo are currently starring together in the film, “El Cantante” about salsa legend Hector Lavoe.
