Lopez loses sex tape lawsuit

A Superior Court judge in California has refused to issue a temporary restraining order barring rap mogul Marion ‘‘Suge’’ Knight from marketing a purported sex video of singer-actress Jennifer Lopez.

Knight’s lawyer said his client doesn’t have a sex video of Lopez, but that one of his companies is producing a video on the singer-actress titled, ‘‘J-Lo Uncut: The Real Story’’.

In her lawsuit, Lopez said she is unaware that such a video exists but that if it does she wants the sale of it blocked.

Lopez sued Knight and his Death Row Records for invasion of privacy after the Star tabloid reported this week that Knight was planning to market a video titled ‘‘Jennifer Lopez: Da Real Story.’’

Knight ‘‘does not possess a so-called ‘sex tape’ involving Ms Lopez and an ex-boyfriend,’’ the rap mogul’s attorney, Jeffrey Lowy, said in a letter to Lopez’s lawyer, Stanton L Stein.

‘‘If the tape is, in fact, publicly displayed and disseminated, the plaintiff will suffer greatly in her occupation,’’ the lawsuit states.

Knight was released from a California prison last month after serving half of a nine-year term for violating probation on assault charges.
