In an effort to build a name for himself, Ojani Noa is doing his part to cash in on his brief marriage to Jennifer Lopez.
It seems the Cuban immigrant/waiter is in the process of making a movie based on his life with J.Lo titled: “How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The J-lo and and Ojani Noa Story.” However, you know Ms. Lopez is not going to stand for anyone (other than herself) getting paid off her name.
Her lawyers issued a cease and desist this morning reminding Noa and his team of a little injunction from 2007 forbidding Noa from licensing, disseminating, or distributing any book, manuscript, or other written materials which contain private or intimate details about Lopez or Noa’s relationship with Lopez.
Noa, of course, insists that the film is a ‘mockumentary’ and is totally made up.
Via The Wrap:
“Citing a 2007 injunction against writing about Lopez’s personal life, the letter signed by attorney John Lavely states that the film ‘constitutes a blatant and malicious violation of my client’s legal rights and undeniably violates the clear command of the Court’s injunction…Your announced intention to produce a motion picture …about Noa and Lopez and their tumultuous marriage (as characterized on the website)’ violates the injunction, the letter said, demanding that the production ‘cease and desist from proceeding.’”
The 2007 injunction was issued after Noa’s attempt to release a tell-all book about his time with Lopez.
The film is currently casting and is set to start filming in February 2010.
