Lopez Wins Breach of Contract Suit Against First Husband

Jennifer Lopez has been awarded nearly $545,000 after filing a lawsuit to prevent her first husband Ojani Noa from publishing memoirs in which he claims the singer/actress was unfaithful. According to court papers filed in Los Angeles on Monday, Lopez is due $200,000 in damages, with the remainder covering her legal costs. Lopez filed her breach of contract suit against Noa, who she divorced in 1998 after less than a year of marriage, because his book would violate a previous settlement that bars him from revealing details of their relationship. She claims Noa asked for $5 million not to publish his book. As well as deciding the amount of monetary damages, a court-ordered arbitrator ruled Noa should be permanently banned from "criticizing, denigrating, casting in a negative light or otherwise disparaging or causing disparagement" to Lopez. Her attorney has filed legal papers asking a judge to confirm the arbitrator's decision. A court hearing is scheduled for September 5.
