Los Angeles: Singer and Hollywood actress, Jennifer Lopez has sued her ex-husband Ojani Noa claiming he demanded $5 million to keep him from publishing an explosive tell-all book about her.
The lawsuit aims to keep Noah from publishing the book which Lopez claims contains "private and intimate statements, many of which are negative, denigrating and disparaging" about the singer-actress.
By "shopping" the manuscript, Noa was "wrongfully attempting to exploit his prior relationship with Lopez by making salacious, inflammatory, invasive, disparaging statements", the suit said.
In addition, Noa made "some false and defamatory statements" for his own "financial gain in violation of a specific written agreement to the contrary", Lopez better known to her fans as JLo claimed.
In the suit filed in Los Angeles, Lopez requested a temporary restraining order and a permanent injunction preventing Noa from selling the manuscript.
In addition she wants to be awarded her court costs. Lopez, 36, and former model Noa were married for one year from February 1997 to January 1998.
The lawsuit states that Noa sent a letter to Lopez's attorney on January 13, 2005 in which Noa "declared his intention to continue to shop his proposed book and to obtain a publisher for the book".
"She may want me to stay quite and not talk about her at all in the book, I'll be more happy to do so if we can come to an agreement," Noa allegedly said in the letter.
