Jennifer Lopez is suing ex-husband Ojani Noa, charging that he demanded $5 million to shelve a book containing revelations about their relationship.

Lopez's lawsuit, filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that Noa, her first husband, violated a confidentiality agreement by distributing the manuscript of his book to publishers, TV's The Insider reports. Lopez, 36, is seeking a restraining order to keep the manuscript from becoming public.

A description of the manuscript first appeared Jan. 11 in the New York Post, prompting Lopez's lawyers to contact Noa's legal representatives. Noa replied in a letter that he was planning to keep shopping his book, the suit claims.

In another letter, the suit shows, Noa said "that he would not agree to refrain from marketing his book unless (Lopez) paid him the sum of $5 million."
to the New York Post story, Noa writes in his book, The Unknown Truth: A Portrait of a Serial Thriller, that Lopez cheated on him with an Anaconda castmate and had an affair with Marc Anthony while the singer was still married to Dayanara Torres.
