Alex barely manages to bring her back to sanity. Big Friendly Dog: Alex's pet is a pit bull named Grunt, but he's well-tempered throughout the film.The wealthy studios and star won the case against a small, poor plaintiff of course, despite stellar representation by Marder's LA law firm. The lawsuit was with Lopez, Sony, and Paramount to establish copyrights in the film. As Marder signed only non-exclusive rights with Paramount, it seemed that Lopez had infringed on Marder's rights to her own life-story as well as infringing on Paramount's rights to the story in the film.
She was paid $2300 for the right to make a movie about her life story, and then filed a lawsuit when Jennifer Lopez mimicked the film frame for frame and it was discovered that she did not secure licensing rights from Paramount Studios to use the story in her music video.
She's only recently become a legal adult, he's old enough to be an established industrialist and already gone through a divorce.
