Another sex tape. Really?

 Its been reported today that sex tape involving Tulisa Contostavlos and an ex-boyfriend has been leaked onto the internet. The tape has now been removed from its original source website after Tulisa's lawyers delivered pappzd.com with a handwritten crease notice. However the video is still view-able on other internet sites. 

 The question now is, was this 'leaked' as a publicity stunt to boost Tulisa's public profile and make her front page news ahead of the impending X Factor judges line up? Or was it a genuine leak by a bitter ex? The sex tape leak has been used by countless celebrities to raise their profile and was even the making of reality TV star Kim Kardashian. Tulisa is now front page news on online tabloid sites such as The Sun and Daily Mail and is also headline on Digital spy along with several Twitter trends about her.  

 For me this was all a little to fortunately timed as a stunt to raise her public profile and create controversy around her with her X Factor contract still in the balance. It was also reported her lawyers had stopped the video within minutes of the leak, which is remarkably quick. There was reports last year of a man wanting £500,000 for his sex tape with the star, however that didn't ever make major press and was quickly forgotten. 

 Personally this tried and tested method to boost a public profile is far too extreme for someone who is a performer/talent show judge and if this was a PR stunt then it was a very ill-thought out and poorly planned idea. Her is praying for Tulisa's reputation that is wasn't a stunt and she can recover as she made an excellent X Factor judge last year.
