Lopez’s ex to fight effort to stop book
In an unexpected reversal, the first husband of Jennifer Lopez told a judge Friday he will fight efforts by the singer and actress to stop him from publishing a tell-all book.
Ojani Noa, 31, told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Victor H. Person that he regrets agreeing to a preliminary injunction, issued June 30, under which he is prohibited from “criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging or causing disparagement to plaintiff.”
“I didn’t agree to it,” Noa said. “I want to fight this thing to the end.”
He blamed bad legal advice for the decision. Person gave Noa until Jan. 17 to hire a new attorney or represent himself as the case moves forward.
