Jennifer Lopez’s first husband Ojani Noa has pointed the finger at Sean “Diddy” Combs as the homewrecker responsible for breaking up their marriage.

Noa and Lopez, 55, were married for just 11 months from February 1997 to January 1998.

Combs and Lopez publicly dated from 1999 to 2001.

The 50-year-old Cuban actor made the comments in a new interview with Despierta America this week.

“Part of that divorce was Diddy’s fault,” Noa said when asked about their break up.

“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, On The 6.

“That’s where the cheating, the lies, the separation started.”

Noa said with their careers pulling him and Lopez in different directions, the cracks in their relationship began to show.

“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 cheating started.”

Noa also revealed he felt bitter at the impact their split had on his own career in showbiz.

“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?’” Noa told the Spanish language television station.

“Why, if I have not done anything to you? Let her tell the truth, let her tell everything that happened.”

The revelation comes as Combs faces a slew of seven new lawsuits filed over the weekend accusing him of sexual assault.

Combs is currently behind bars as he is facing criminal prosecution on sex trafficking charges for which he has been denied bail.

Lopez is currently divorcing her fourth husband, Ben Affleck.
