Jennifer Lopez -- My Ass Was Too Hot for Morocco ... Now I'm Getting Sued

Jennifer Lopez shook her legendary ass so hard, she damn near started a revolution in the streets of Morocco ... if you buy the new lawsuit she's facing.

J.Lo performed in the north African nation on May 29, and it was broadcast on public TV. The concert featured all the hallmarks of what we'd call a typical J.Lo show -- sexy dancing, skimpy outfits, appropriate emphasis on her ass ... and her dancers' asses.

Problem is ... according to this lawsuit, all those things have no business airing on Moroccan TV. The suit was filed by an education group which says Ms. Lopez "disturbed public order and tarnished women's honor and respect."

Jennifer and the promoter are being sued. In the unlikely event she's found guilty, she faces 1 month to 2 years in prison.

We're told J.Lo has performed in Morocco in the past without any issues -- but she's never been on TV before. But seriously, what were they expecting?
