Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony Lawsuit: John Jacobs Wants $25M After Claiming Singers Stole His Idea For ‘Q’Viva! The Chosen’

It doesn’t matter that they’re divorced, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony might be coming together one last time to put a lawsuit to rest. A guy named John Jacobs has filed a lawsuit in New York for $25 million claiming that JLo and Marc stole his idea for their reality show “Q’Viva! The Chosen.” Jacobs claims that in 2007 and 2008 he pitched an idea for a show that would be called “Miami Beach: The Game,” to Jennifer’s Nuyorican Productions and Marc Anthony Productions. His idea was to have two famous Latinos travel around the world searching for the next big superstar.

“Q’Viva! The Chosen Ones” follows superstars Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony as they travel throughout Latin America, along with director and choreographer, Jamie King, to discover the most authentic, genuine and talented entertainers and recruit them for their Las Vegas production of "the greatest Latin show ever". The show included dancers, acrobats, singers, musicians among others. "The [shows] were so similar that they were twins," Jacobs wrote in the lawsuit. He alleges that representatives from both companies expressed interest in his idea, but later ignored all his calls.

He claims he was in complete shock when a few years after he pitched the idea, he saw the promotions and advertisement for the show on Univision so he allegedly tried to get in contact with both Jennifer's and Marc's companies as well as the network to try to figure it all out but, he never heard back. After a year of trying to figure out what to do, he finally decided to sue. So far Nuyorican Productions hasn’t spoken about the issue, and Marc Anthony productions told TMZ that they couldn’t comment on the matter. Neither JLo nor Marc have personally addressed the issue.
