Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband Ojani Noa blames Sean Combs for ruining their happy marriage.
During an appearance on Spanish language talk show “Despierta America,” Noa shared what led to the end of his short-lived marriage with Lopez from 1997 to 1998.
When asked what led to their breakup, Noa declared, “Part of that divorce was Diddy’s fault.”
“When Sony came and paid her the millions she got, there was Puffy, who was going to be one of the producers of several tracks on the first album,’” he told the outlet in Spanish. “That’s where the deception, the lies, the separation started.”
Noa said Lopez had already begun seeing Combs behind his back. He found out about their relationship while she was on the East Coast recording her album.
“I was in Los Angeles opening my restaurant and she was between Miami and New York working on the album,” he said.
“When I could, I would go to be with her. There, in that distance, in that separation, was where the deception started,” Noa said.
Noa alleged that Lopez blackballed him, and sabotaged his chance at several jobs.
“I would ask Jennifer, ‘What did I do to you so that you have taken me to court, you have accused me, you have lied, you have created false things about me and you have called several companies to throw me out and different television networks not to give me work?’”
“Why, if I have not done anything to you? Let her tell the truth, let her tell everything that happened,” he added.
Lopez dated Combs from 1999 to 2001. The green Versace silk chiffon dress she wore to the 42nd Grammy Awards ceremony nearly broke the Internet on February 23, 2000.
Combs is currently in a Brooklyn, NY jail where he is awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
