The N-Dubz star’s ex-boyfriend, Justin Edwards, who she had broken up with in 2009, released a sex tape of her in 2012 during the height of her fame.
Revenge porn was not illegal at the time, meaning Tulisa only managed to get a court apology from Justin, and in a recent interview, the star revealed the devastating impact it had on her mental health.
Describing the release as ‘catastrophic,’ she shared that the consuming fear around the sex tape marred what should have been ‘the best year of her life,’ when she joined The X Factor in 2011, and won alongside Little Mix.
She added that when the tape came out, she suffered a ‘breakdown,’ and it’s still left her feeling ‘very, very sensitive’ about intimacy.
Tulisa settled her legal action against Justin in 2012 after he admitted he was responsible for releasing the sex tape that appeared online and agreed to say sorry.
Speaking on Emma Barnett’s Ready To Talk podcast, she said: ‘In many ways, that year was the best year of life, everything that was going on made it the best year of my life, incredible.
‘The only unfortunate thing was, is that I was prepped that my ex had this tape and it was coming, so while I was trying to enjoy what should have been the best year of my life, I was then going ”this is going to happen, and it could all come crumbling down.”
‘So I was on the stage with Little Mix going ”we’re doing amazing” and going back and crying one of the producers I confided in going ”this tape is going to come out and I’m going to lose everything”.

‘My best year was still overshadowed, not overshadowed but had a dark shadow looming over it.’
Detailing the moment Justin released the sex tape, Tulisa continued: ‘I had a dream the night before, and it was a really intense dream with my uncle in it who had passed away, it’s like he was coming to me and said ”something bad is going to happen.”
‘And I had a feeling that from the dream, I just knew ”something’s coming.” And then I was driving in my car, and my assistant told me at the time ”it’s out” and I just remember my heart just literally dropping to my belly button and just going *gasp*.’
Tulisa then shared how she plunged into a ‘hardcore depression’ after the sex tape’s release, and she reverted to a childhood safe space by locking herself in her en suite bathroom, as she did while living with her mum, who had battled schizophrenia.
She said: ‘The first 24 hours, I just went into deluded mode, like it kind of wasn’t happening, and then catastrophe hit. Just one of the most hardcore depressions I’ve ever felt in my life.
‘Referring to my childhood, there was one room that had a lock on it, that was the bathroom, so when my mum was having an episode, I would lock myself in it. When the tape came out, I went and slept in my en suite for seven days with a pillow and a blanket, that’s the level of breakdown I was having.
‘I’ve never described it as this before, virtual rape is what it felt like. I’m very, very sensitive about intimacy. I already had issues surrounding intimacy, so for me it was like a ‘gasp’. I can’t even describe the feeling, it’s affected me to this day drastically.
‘My romantic life, everything. I won’t pull punches on that, that’s exactly how it felt, and still feels looking back on it.’
At the time of Tulisa’s high court win in 2012, revenge porn was not a criminal offence, and she was only able to get an apology from her ex after winning the case.
The star shared that her decision to take legal action against Justin came after he denied that he released the tape, instead claiming she did.

Calling it ‘one of the worst moments of her life,’ Tulisa said she ‘didn’t really get anything’ out of the win, adding: ‘I didn’t win anything, all I got was a tiny bit of truth… You’re still tarnished with that for the rest of your life.’
In a similar case, Stephen Bear was jailed for 21 months last March after sharing a sex tape without the consent of his ex-partner, Georgia Harrison.
However, the revenge porn law only came into force in 2014, meaning it was too late for Justin to be prosecuted for it.
After winning an apology from Justin in court, Tulisa famously told waiting photographers she was thrilled that ‘the truth had come out’ over the publication of the intimate footage.
In her statement, she added: ‘This time, Justin messed with the wrong woman’.
She continued: ‘I am relieved that this is finally over. It has been a very testing few months and this was not a case I ever wanted to go through.
‘Justin Edwards’s actions were to spite me, make money and ruin my career. He has succeeded in none of these things.
‘I stand here today a stronger, wiser young woman who has taken this experience and learnt from it.’
She added: ‘I am disgusted by Justin and saddened by the people that believed I released the footage myself. Today the truth has prevailed. After months of lying to the public and lying in court, Justin has finally admitted to being guilty and I hope justice is served.’
She also had a special message for fans who supported her in her battle with her ex.
Tulisa said: ‘I would now like to draw a line under this and put it in the past. I also would like to thank from the bottom of my heart the fans that stood by me. I’m especially grateful for all the support I have received from the public, my friends, family and team.
‘With that support and my determination I have won this battle. This time, Justin messed with the wrong woman.’
