Jennifer Lopez’s Ex-Husband Ojani Noa Threatening To Release Honeymoon X-Tape
Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez (R) and her husband (at the time) Ojana Noa (L) arrive for the 55th Annual Golden Globe Awards 18 January at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA. HAL GARB/AFP/Getty ImagesLooks like someone wants to get back at JLo, so he’s pulling the oldest trick in the book: a sex tape. We’re talking about Jennifer Lopez’s former husband Ojani Noa, who she married in in February 1997 before they split after 11 months of marriage the following year.
According to Nao, he will be releasing the footage, which mainly shows the couple during their honeymoon in 1997. Reportedly, the singer has been trying to keep those tapes out of sight but Nao’s associate, Ed Meyer, has allegedly found a way around the legal obstacles that were stopping them.
“We are going to produce a DVD and also have a streaming release of the J.Lo home video footage,” Meyer assured In Touch. “There is revealing video of her with a lack of clothing and in sexual situations, especially in the hotel footage from the honeymoon.” Meyer also told the publication that Nao has unfinished business with the songstress and that the footage will surely “shock her fans.”
Noa has been fixated on making money off their short-lived marriage, after having to pay the enormous amount of $545,000 for violating their confidentiality agreement after he attempted to publish a tell-all book. While one would think releasing the videos would violate such agreement, Meyer assures they’ve found a loophole.

Jennifer Lopez Sued Her First Husband For $10M Over Attempt To Release Their Honeymoon Sex Tape

Jennifer Lopez, the globally acclaimed singer and actress, found herself embroiled in a significant legal battle in the early 2000s involving her first husband, Ojani Noa. The controversy centered around Noa’s alleged attempt to release intimate footage from their 1997 honeymoon, prompting Lopez to file a $10 million lawsuit against him.
The Honeymoon Footage Controversy
The footage in question dates back to Lopez’s brief marriage to Noa, which lasted only 11 months. Despite their short-lived union, Noa appeared determined to maintain his connection to Lopez by monetizing private moments from their honeymoon. The video reportedly contained more than just romantic scenes; it allegedly included a heated argument between Lopez and her mother, making its potential release deeply personal and damaging.
Reports suggested that Noa planned to sell the footage as part of a larger project titled How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The J.Lo and Ojani Noa Story. The project aimed to exploit Lopez’s fame by including scenes that depicted her in vulnerable and intimate moments, such as checking herself in a mirror while wearing only underwear.
Legal Battle Over Confidentiality
In response to Noa’s actions, Lopez swiftly filed a $10 million lawsuit, accusing him of violating a confidentiality agreement established after their divorce. This agreement was specifically designed to prevent Noa from disclosing or profiting from any private details about their marriage.
A Los Angeles judge granted Lopez a temporary restraining order, halting the release of the footage until the legal matters could be resolved. However, Noa and his legal team argued that since Noa filmed the footage, he owned the copyright and had the right to use it as he saw fit.
According to reports, the stakes were high, as the footage reportedly included scenes that could significantly alter public perception of Lopez. Ed Meyer, a producer associated with the project, publicly claimed that Lopez was desperate to prevent the release of these tapes because they showed a side of her that contradicted her public image. “Jennifer is trying to stop Ojani from releasing them. But he shot them with his camera, so he owns the copyright. She can’t stop him,” Meyer said.
Previous Legal Battles With Noa
This was not the first time Lopez faced legal challenges involving Noa. In 2007, she won a lawsuit preventing the release of a ghostwritten tell-all book that Noa planned to publish. The book allegedly contained scandalous details about Lopez’s personal life, including accusations of extramarital affairs.
In 2004, Noa received a $125,000 settlement from Lopez after suing her for wrongful termination from a managerial position at her restaurant. As part of that settlement, Noa agreed not to disparage Lopez or reveal any private information about their marriage—a commitment he appeared to disregard with his latest attempt to release the honeymoon footage.
Lopez’s Divorce From Ben Affleck
As Lopez continues to navigate her career and personal life, she recently filed for divorce from her husband, Ben Affleck. The filing, which took place on Tuesday, came after months of speculation about the couple’s relationship. Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, had rekindled their romance nearly two decades after their first engagement, but their relationship has been under intense media scrutiny since their reunion.
Lopez filed the divorce documents in Los Angeles County Superior Court without the assistance of a lawyer, citing April 26, 2024, as the date of separation. Notably, there is no prenuptial agreement between the pair, which could complicate the division of their significant assets. The couple’s cumulative net worth is estimated at $640 million, with their earnings during their two-year marriage classified as “community property,” according to TMZ.
