"Tulisa Contostavlos has said that she slept on her bathroom floor for seven days after a sex tape in which she featured leaked online. The footage was made available to purchase on a website last month, before lawyers for the star took action, obtaining an injunction to prevent further publication.  The 23-year-old confirmed the authenticity of the tape in a video statement, in which she blamed ex-boyfriend MC Ultra for being behind the leak. Admitting that she had been left &amp;quot;devastated&amp;quot;, Contostavlos told The Guardian: &amp;quot;I slept on the bathroom floor for seven days... I just wouldn&amp;#039;t go out of the house. Couldn&amp;#039;t sleep. Didn&amp;#039;t really want to eat anything. But I snapped out of it.  &amp;quot;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&amp;#039;t want to smile. I didn&amp;#039;t want to be happy. It was like a level of mourning, do you know what I mean?&amp;quot; She continued: &amp;quot;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, make-up, full hair, &amp;#039;OK, I&amp;#039;m going out&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; The &amp;#039;Young&amp;#039; singer admitted that she felt attempting to &amp;quot;sweep it under the carpet&amp;quot; had made the whole affair &amp;quot;more seedy than it was&amp;quot;, prompting her to cut off communication while she filmed her own personal statement. &amp;gt; Simon Cowell blasts Tulisa sex tape &amp;#039;scumbag&amp;#039;: &amp;#039;X Factor job is safe&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Tulisa ex MC Ultra in court over sex tape: &amp;#039;She persuaded me to film&amp;#039;      &amp;quot;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,&amp;quot; she said, hitting back at those who have publicly criticised her.  &amp;quot;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&amp;#039;ve just met, whereas I&amp;#039;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.&amp;quot; Taking the opportunity to dismiss claims that the leak had been a publicity stunt, she told the newspaper that she had not been &amp;quot;physically&amp;quot; able to watch the footage.   &amp;quot;But from what I&amp;#039;ve heard, I&amp;#039;d make sure I was a lot sexier, and probably not 19 years old, because that&amp;#039;s a little bit pervy,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;People seem to be forgetting that I&amp;#039;m 19 in it, which is quite wrong. Everything I&amp;#039;ve spent my whole career building up and representing - I wouldn&amp;#039;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?&amp;quot; Confessing that she does not &amp;quot;really like being vulnerable&amp;quot;, Contostavlos said that it would be ideal if the tabloids could stop writing about her, while she still gets &amp;quot;paid the same amount I do&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;But I suppose it comes with the other things,&amp;quot; she added. &amp;quot;If I&amp;#039;m not in the public eye, and then I&amp;#039;m not wanted, and I&amp;#039;m not getting endorsements, I&amp;#039;m not being talked about, my records aren&amp;#039;t going to be bought. I just wish they wouldn&amp;#039;t lie as much.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Tulisa sex tape destroyed family, says dad &amp;gt; Simon Cowell books Tulisa as &amp;#039;Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent&amp;#039; guest Watch the video for Tulisa&amp;#039;s debut solo single &amp;#039;Young&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
