The newly-blonde X Factor judge spoke outside the court in London, after Justin Edwards held his hands up to releasing the explicit tape. Tulisa Contostavlos released a statement outside the High Court in London this morning, after ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards confessed to leaking an explicit video of her online. Speaking to the press, Tulisa said that she is stronger as a result of the sex tape drama — which led to her recording this video apology back in March — and that Justin messed with the wrong woman. It has been a very testing few months, and this was not a case I ever wanted to go through. He has succeeded in none of these things. I am disgusted by Justin and saddened by the people that believed I released the footage myself. After months of lying to the public and lying in court, Justin has finally admitted to being guilty and I hope justice is served. I also would like to thank from the bottom of my heart, the fans that stood by me.
