Jennifer Lopez’s First Husband Fires Back, Urges Her to “Tell the Truth”
Ojani Noa, Jennifer Lopez’s first husband, has publicly challenged the pop superstar’s recent remarks about never feeling “truly loved” by her exes, demanding she “tell the truth for once.”
In a scathing Instagram post on Friday, October 17, the 51-year-old former model accused Lopez of hypocrisy and infidelity. “Let me just say, stop putting us down.
Stop putting me down with your victim card,” Noa wrote, referencing Lopez’s interview with Howard Stern. “The problem [is] not us.
Not me. The problem [is] you.
You [are] the one who couldn’t keep it in your pants.”
Noa, who was married to Lopez from 1997 to 1998, asserted his faithfulness during their brief marriage. “I’m an amazing, loving person, great human being.
Honest, faithful to you, never lied, never [misbehaved], never cheated on you,” he stated. “I was good to you.
I’m too good of a [man] for you.” He added that he made significant sacrifices, leaving his family and job to support her burgeoning Hollywood career, only to see her “choose fame and fortune” over their relationship.
Noa’s fiery post follows Lopez’s recent interview where she told Stern, “What I learned, I learned that it’s not that I’m not lovable, it’s that they’re not capable… They don’t have it in them.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Lopez, 56, admitted to regretting turning down a major film role. When asked if she’d ever passed on a role she later regretted, the singer confirmed, revealing she had been offered the lead in the 2002 thriller Unfaithful. Lopez explained that she initially found “the script wasn’t good,” but later realized director Adrian Lyne had transformed the material into something “great.”
Lopez has been married four times. Following her marriage to Noa, she wed Cris Judd (2001-2003), Marc Anthony (2007, with whom she shares 17-year-old twins Max and Emme), and most recently Ben Affleck, whom she married in 2022 and finalized her split from earlier this year.
As of now, Lopez has not responded to Noa’s accusations.
