Court Blocked Jennifer Lopez Sex Footage Story

Jennifer Lopez emerged victorious Monday in her effort to block distribution of her ex-husband's proposed movie in which she apparently is shown in compromising positions.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge James C. Chalfant issued a temporary restraining order halting forward progress of "The J.Lo and Ojani Noa Story."

As previously reported, Lopez sued Noa on Friday for $10 million, claiming he breached a prior confidentiality agreement by intending to sell a movie containing hours of home video footage, including some showing Lopez in sexual situations during their 1997 honeymoon.

The suit also claims invasion of privacy by "public disclosure of private facts which would be offensive and objectionable to a reasonable person and which is not of legitimate public concern."

Lopez also sued Ed Meyer, Noa's manager and producer of the proposed movie. Meyer's attorney, Frank Sanes Jr., unsuccessfully argued in court that his client was not bound by Noa's confidentiality agreement and shouldn't be subject to the restraining order.

This isn't the first legal tangle involving J.Lo and her former husband of 11 months. He obtained a $125,000 settlement from Lopez in a 2004 suit that claimed she fired him without cause from a job as manager of her now-defunct Pasadena restaurant. As part of the settlement, he agreed not to disparage Lopez or sell private or intimate details about her or their relationship.

In 2007, Lopez won $545,000 in damages and attorney fees in another lawsuit that blocked Noa from publishing a ghostwritten tell-all book. Lopez claimed Noa had demanded $5 million to keep him from publishing the book. According to court documents, the book claimed that Lopez had multiple affairs during her marriage to Noa, including one with current husband Marc Antony.
