Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband, Ojani Noa, has launched another public attack on the global superstar, reviving long-standing controversy surrounding their brief marriage and a bitter legal battle from the early 2000s.
Lopez, 56, and Noa, 51, were married from 1997 to 1998 after meeting at Gloria Estefan’s Cuban restaurant in Miami while the singer was filming Blood and Wine.
Their marriage lasted just 11 months, but tensions between the former couple have repeatedly resurfaced over the years.
In his latest outburst, Noa took to Instagram with a lengthy statement in which he revisited the infamous court case involving alleged sex tapes of the couple.
Lopez and her mother, Guadalupe Rodríguez, had sued him after claiming he planned to release explicit footage. However, Noa has long insisted that no such sex tape ever existed.
According to Noa, he was working on a personal documentary in 2009 that would chronicle his life in Cuba, his migration to the United States, his marriage to Lopez, and his life after their divorce.
He claims he intended to use only non-explicit home videos, including footage from their engagement, wedding, honeymoon, and trips together.
He alleged that Lopez filed a lawsuit after discovering the documentary plans, accusing him of attempting to damage her reputation and career. A judge ultimately ruled against Noa, banning him from distributing any private footage of Lopez. Judge James Chalfant reportedly ordered that the material could not be released “anywhere, anytime, anyhow” without further court approval.
In his new statement, Noa accused Lopez of making “false and fabricated” claims against him and maintained that the allegations severely harmed his reputation. He further shared images of a 2001 court declaration in which Lopez reportedly sought a restraining order against Suge Knight, whom she accused of purchasing and threatening to release a sex tape.
Noa also reignited cheating allegations, once again claiming Lopez had been unfaithful with rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, claims that have never been legally proven.
The renewed public feud comes weeks after Lopez stated in a radio interview that she felt she had “never been loved,” despite being married four times, a comment that appeared to prompt Noa’s latest response.
