J-Lo Awarded $545,000 from Ex-hubby

The ultimate plan of Ojani Noa, ex-husband of Jennifer Lopez, to release a tell-all book is put to an end. Let alone, Noa would be made to pay a total of $545,000 to his ex- wife.

This is according to a decision given by a court-appointed arbitrator on Monday. The ruling was a result to a court papers filed by Jennifer Lopez’s lawyer to ask an LA Superior Court judge to give a decision in a hearing that is set to take place on September 5.

In the breach-of-contract lawsuit filed by Lopez against ex-husband Noa, a claim is stated that Noa violated an earlier lawsuit settlement that would stop him from disclosing any private information about their past relationship. In view of this matter, the arbitrator decided “permanent injunction” against Noa. This would be enough to keep him from “criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging or causing disparagement” to the 39-year-old actress. Moreover, Noa is required to hand in all book-related copies and materials to either Lopez or her lawyer.

The $545,000 award comprises of compensatory damages worth $200,000, of attorney’s fees that’s nearly $300,000 and of arbitration costs worth $48,000.

The supposed tell-all book of Ojani Noa is entitled, “The Untold Truth: A Passionate Portrait of a Serial Killer”. The infamous book is set to reveal details of his first sexual encounter with Jennifer Lopez as well as information about the singer-actress’ alleged number of affairs while they were still married to each other.

Jennifer Lopez and Ojani Noa was married on February 1997 but filed for divorce less than a year later.

Three years ago, Noa got a settlement of $125,000 after suing Jennifer for breach of contract. Included in the settlement was his agreement to not reveal private information about his past relationship with Lopez. Noa’s book plans breached the said agreement.
