The Guardian decided to interview Tulisa about how she felt after that sex tape was released. And here's what she said:
"Devastated. I slept on the bathroom floor for seven days... I just wouldn't go out of the house. Couldn't sleep. Didn't really want to eat anything. But I snapped out of it. I knew what I was doing. I knew in my head that I was depressed; I knew why I was depressed. It was all logical. I didn't want to smile. I didn't want to be happy... It was like a level of mourning, do you know what I mean? I needed to have my tears and tantrums, my bad moods, and get myself into a state to come back out of it. And I literally just woke up one morning as happy as Larry, put on my best dress, makeup, full hair: 'OK, I'm going out.'"
All of that is understandable, but the bathroom floor is never going to make you feel better, unless you've got a cracking hangover/some form of poisoning, and even then it's not going to help you feel better about your situation.
Of releasing posting her side of the story on her website, she added: "Everyone was trying to sweep it under the carpet and I felt that that was making it more seedy than it was. I was like: 'Hang on a minute, I haven't done anything wrong here!'" Once she uploaded her "confession" things were a little different: "Instantly the response starting turning around, once I'd told the truth. Then the headlines were saying: 'Ah, poor Tulisa', which was the bloody case, yeah!... I guarantee if everyone else out there had a camera practically shoved up their arse on a day-to-day basis, in their face, that a lot worse stuff would come out... There are probably girls out there who have done a million times worse with their boyfriend, and are probably going to go out tonight and get laid with a random bloke they've just met, whereas I'll meet a bloke and make him wait six dates before he even gets a shag. But because of some footage, people make assumptions about the sort of character I am."
And of the suggestions that she released the tape herself as a publicity stunt, something I accuse pretty much everyone of on a daily basis, she retorted: "If I was going to release a tape of myself - I haven't watched it, because I can't physically watch it, but from what I've heard, I'd make sure I was a lot sexier and probably not 19 years old, because that's a little bit pervy. People seem to be forgetting that I'm 19 in it, which is quite wrong... Everything I've spent my whole career building up and representing - I wouldn't even do a bikini shoot with FHM, so why would I release a tape? Why am I spending thousands of pounds in legal costs to stop it coming out?"
And, again, why the seven nights on your bathroom floor?
