Jennifer Lopez has lost a long legal battle to ex-husband, Ojani Noa, about the release of an intimate home video of the former couple.

(Radar)–Lopez has been battling Noa in court for years to prevent release of the footage, which was taken during their short lived marriage.
Lopez had been successful in that legal fight.. Up till now.. citing that release of the footage would violate the confidentiality agreement Noa signed.
Court documents, exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com reveal that Noa managed to find a loophole in the law – selling the footage to his current girlfriend, Claudia Vazquez for her to release it on his behalf.
A Los Angeles judge issued a ruling Friday morning that allows Vazquez to release the footage JLo doesn’t want the public to see.
Ed Meyer, the executive producer of the project tells RadarOnline.com: “Claudia Vazquez has been allowed to release the home videos of Ojani and Jennifer. The project will deal with JLo’s rise to fame, and her marriage to Ojani. Claudia will be meeting with video distributors on Tuesday, and hopefully, a deal can be made very soon.”
The written ruling states: “Vazquez argues she has and is suffering harm in that she has had difficulty in obtaining work as a result of Lopez’s attempts at enforcing the Injunction against her.
“Vazquez argues that Lopez, on the other hand, will suffer no harm if Vazquez’s preliminary injunction is granted. Lopez puts forth no arguments contradicting those of Vazquez and, in fact, fails to address this element of the preliminary injunction test altogether. As a result, the Court finds that the balance of the equities weighs in favor of Vazquez.
Lopez and Cuban-born Noa were married February 1997 and divorced in 1998. They met when Noa was working as a waiter in a Miami restaurant.
