Okay, lesson learnt. Now we know for sure, once and for all….drum roll please… that no good can ever come from a sex tape.
X-Factor judge Tulisa has spoken out about her sex tape experience and said she feared it would make her look “easy”…
What do you say to the girl who thinks that?
Whattt? No way….
The singer’s ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards leaked the X-rated footage on the internet in March this year and Tulisa said she feared the fallout from the scandal would irrevocably damage her reputation.
But it doesn’t seem to have affected her career at all, her post-sex tape release ‘Young’ lyrics even complimented her mistake. I know I’m just stirring it now…
It seems celebrity ownership of a sex tape comes somewhere in between a dog and a pair of Ray Bans.
In an extract from her upcoming autobiography ‘Honest, My Story So Far’ – which has been serialised by The Sun newspaper – she reveals: “It felt as though there was a massive axe swinging above my head.
“My job as a judge on ‘The X Factor’ was to smile and be smart and funny. But underneath I was petrified of being made to look like some kind of slapper in front of the nation.
“I would try to put the whole thing out of my mind but it would creep back – it was pretty much all-consuming.”
The 24-year-old also revealed the support she received from her boyfriend at the time, actor Jack O’Connell, helped her come to terms with what had happened.
She recalls: “There was a text from Jack asking if I was OK. He had just arrived back in London and we met up the next day.
“It turned out he’d been on a plane when I’d texted him. As soon as I saw him everything started to feel better, easier.
“For the next three weeks he never left my side. It was the distraction I needed. And as time went on I started to feel stronger.”
Tulisa took Justin to court to make him confess he was responsible for leaking the footage and sued him for €125,000 for breach of privacy.
A moral victory, she said at the time.
