'Young' beauty Tulisa Contostavlos has recalled how she felt "humiliated" and "violated" after her ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards - aka MC Ultra - leaked a sex tape earlier this year.

During an interview with the new issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, on which she also graces the cover, the songstress explained that she was shocked by her ex-lover's actions and then had to publicly deal with the repercussions, which made her feel ashamed and taken advantage of:

"I've got all these people who have seen me with a c**k in my mouth and it was the most humiliating thing ever for me. Then I was being judged for my 'skills' and I'm like, 'Hang on a minute - I was a 19-year-old girl; this was the first person I'd ever even done this with."

"It was a private moment and it was devastating enough that it was out there in the first place. I felt violated!"

She also admitted that the worst part was when people would suggest that she released the footage herself because she had to defend her reputation and has never behaved in such a way in her life:

"I had people coming up to me and saying, 'Come on, you must have put that out there yourself?' That was the worst part for me; I am not one of those people. It contradicts everything I stand for. Nobody seemed to think, 'Oh, my god, this is going to be this really horrific, emotional thing for her.' But to me it was literally the worst possible thing for my career and what I stand for."
