Misha B has spoken out about how the accusations that saw her branded as a bully impacted her performance on this year's X Factor. 

The talented vocalist was eliminated from the competition this past weekend and believes that being made to look like a bully affected her popularity with the general public:

"What they (the judges) said had an effect. I think it did have an effect. Here’s an example. When I was at home last year and watching the show, headlines were made about different contestants, for instance Cher Lloyd. I made judgments about her but then when I met her in person it was a whole different thing."

Despite having now left the show, Misha B is still upset with how people may perceive her because of what happened in front of the cameras and thinks her reputation will take a lot of time and work to repair:

“It just goes to show you, no matter what other people have to say about somebody else, you just never know what they’re like in person.”
