J-Lo sued by ex-husband
An ex-husband of Jennifer Lopez has sued her for alleged breach of contract, claiming he was wrongly fired as the manager of her restaurant in Pasadena.
Ojani Noa, a waiter who married Lopez in 1997, has filed a lawsuit in Superior Court. They met at a restaurant in Miami where he worked and were married for about a year.
Noa quit his job managing the Conga Room in Los Angeles in 2002 to take a job running Lopez’s new restaurant, Madres, and was told by her that she would not fire him “without good cause or reason”, the lawsuit said.
Noa was fired six months after he started the job at Madres, which opened in April 2002, the lawsuit said. It wasn’t known why Noa was fired.
“Mr Noa tried to call Ms Lopez to find out what prompted this sudden change of events. His calls went unreturned,” the lawsuit said.
