In a YouTube video to her fans, she told of how "heartbroken" she was the tape had been leaked.
"As you can imagine I'm devastated," she said. "When you share an intimate moment with someone you care about, you love, you trust, you don't think that moment will be shared with the rest of the UK."

By now, most of you will have heard about (or possibly even seen) the Tulisa "sex tape". As is the nature of these things, the story spread fast, and Tulisa has been unique in her swift response: getting an immediate injunction in a bid to stem the humiliation of an intimate moment becoming glaringly public.
a so-called intimate moment that was recorded?? for what purpose other than to have a Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian over rated and never ending 15 minutes of fame lol

If you're going to make a sex tape for or with your boyfriend or husband, watch it once or twice together then make certain it is DESTROYED by destroying it yourself. Not deleted... DESTROYED! I don't care if it was your spouse that shot it, trust no one but yourself to destroy it. That is what you do no matter what! The only keepsake an ex should have are memories.
So is she now an hero for women's rights and should we be covering her contraception costs for her years as X factor judge, Ms Sandra Fluke? Maybe as an law student of a prestigious law school and 1%er in the near future soon after graduation, maybe you can write a Huffington Post column and weigh in?
Maybe President Obama (who I respect and admire in many ways) can call this X factor judge and saw how her parents should be proud of her? Maybe Nancy Pelosi can call and support her? Maybe even Hillary Clinton, husband of Bill Clinton (another President whose many accomplishments I admire and respect) can support this XFactor judge as a paragon of human rights?
After all, this is election year and you can posture for effect.
Politics sometimes disgust me. Even the actions of people I like and respect in many ways.

Hey Rusht, she didnt claim to do this video as a "hero" only to set the record straight and Sandra Fluke was coming to the defense of a friend that lost an ovary. Maybe you bigots can stop hating women so much and be better men? Dogging Tulisa, Fluke and Hilary Clinton may make you feel better...but it defines who you are as a person. And I am sure that is sad for the women in your life.

I agree with this. I never usually comment in general but why is the thing I've been noticing, (as are many others), is that many of these criticisms are directed towards her and not the perpetrator. Where's his criticism or is it getting drowned out by a chorus of high fives from all the inevitable chumps?
Chufferman: I agree with this. I never usually comment in general
She is the last person that should cry of maltreatment. Guess everyone realize what she did to an innocent Misha B? Ok, so she wants to become famous? Haha, she has to go apologise to Misha B in private, then go on national television to apologise in public, only then can she have rest. What a mean spirited girl.
