J-Lo tries to stop sex-tape from being seen

A sex tape involving Jennifer Lopez is at the center of a legal struggle to keep it from becoming public.

The 41-year-old celebrity is currently battling in court against her ex-husband Ojani Noa and his agent Ed Meyer to halt their efforts to market and sell footage recorded during their brief marriage in 1997.

Allegations suggest that in one of the videos, she can be seen ‘flashing’ in public while riding a scooter.

In legal documents filed yesterday in a Californian court, Meyer asserts, ‘J-Lo is seen riding a scooter while engaging with the camera and various bystanders, with her privates on display akin to how Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan have appeared in the past.

‘This is in addition to other instances of nudity found within the 21 hours of home videos we have retrieved to date.’

While indulging in some retail therapy at Gucci’s flagship store in Los Angeles, a solemn Jennifer was spotted in her signature fur, paired with a black polo neck, black leggings, and black suede stiletto boots.

The unwanted surfacing of this alleged tape coincides with a particularly unfavorable moment for the actress and singer.

In recent years, she has worked hard to cultivate a family-oriented public image, moving away from her glitzy ‘Jenny From The Block’ phase, during which she often found herself in precarious situations while dating Sean ‘Puff Daddy’ Combs.

Currently, she frequently features her two-year-old twins, Max and Emme, in photo shoots and performs romantic duets alongside her husband, Latin music star Mark Anthony.

Additionally, she has been participating in demanding triathlons and is set to join the panel of American Idol when it makes its return next year.

Alongside Aerosmith’s Steve Tyler, they will be replacing Ellen DeGeneres, who has left the show, and Simon Cowell, who will focus on launching the U.S. version of X Factor.

According to court documents, in the resurfaced videos, she displays her private areas and engages in other ‘deviant behavior.’

Though the tapes do not contain explicit sexual scenes, they could still cause significant embarrassment for the star.

The legal filing states: ‘However, Noa & Meyer have never intended to market these and the other racy, damaging & exposé scenes from the Home Videos.

‘It should also be noted that Lopez gave her full consent for Noa to film her in the Home Videos.’

Despite this, Lopez is firmly opposing the release of these tapes, calling them private and personal, claiming that Noa and filmmaker Meyer are breaching an injunction that prohibits the videos’ release.

This latest legal conflict between Lopez and her ex-husband adds to a lengthy history of disputes—Noa allegedly attempting to profit from his relationship with the Latin star.

Four years ago, Lopez took legal action against Noa to prevent him from publishing a book detailing their brief marriage.

In 2007, a court-appointed arbitrator imposed a permanent injunction against Noa, forbidding him from ‘criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light, or otherwise disparaging’ the Love Don’t Cost A Thing singer.

Lopez received a compensation award of $545,000, and Noa was instructed to surrender all copies of materials related to his proposed book to Lopez’s legal representatives.

In November 2009, Lopez again filed a lawsuit against Noa for breach of contract and invasion of privacy, citing a previous confidentiality agreement that prevented him from releasing his planned film, How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The J-Lo and Ojani Noa Story, along with any ‘previously unseen home video footage.’

However, in his court filing, Meyer contends that he is not bound by any prior settlement between the former couple as he did not benefit from it and was not acquainted with Noa at that time.
