X Factor 2012: Tulisa says she feared for Louis’ life after a rejected contestant, Zoe Alexander, lashed out!
With the country in a state of utter anticipation over the launch of this year’s X Factor tonight, judge Tulisa Contostavlos has admitted that at one point during the audition stages, she feared for fellow judge Louis Walsh’s life!
It was reported earlier this year how a Pink impersonator, Zoe Alexander, had an emotional breakdown on the stage after being rejected by the judges during her audition in Cardiff.
According to the Mirror newspaper at the time, the producer needed medical attention after the wanna-be singer smashed her in the nose with the palm of her hand.
A source at the time said: “I’ve never seen a reaction like it on the show.
“She threw the mic and her language was bad enough but she struck out at cameras and the producer.”
Zoe, who claims the whole episode left her feeling suicidal, is reported to have said after the event: “I lost it and said they were a bunch of c***s.
“I want to apologise to the judges and to the audience – but they set me up to humiliate me.”
Now, with the episode due to be aired soon, judge Tulisa has admitted that, while she wasn’t scared for herself during the attack, she was very concerned for her fellow judge, X Factor veteran, Louis Walsh!
Tulisa said: “I didn’t fear for my safety. I feared for Louis’s.
“She seemed like a tough cookie and out of all the judges, I thought Louis was the one who probably needed defending.”
Walsh claimed that he was stunned by the singer’s behaviour, commenting: “We were nice to her! She came out looking like Pink and she sang a Pink song.”

The new series of the X Factor starts tonight at 8pm on ITV1/ITV1 HD.

All acts are treated fairly by the judges in Zoes case there was no for to attack a producer of the show or need to swear what a spoilt child Grow up woman
This show is utter rubbish it should have been cancelled a long time ago!
what an utter waste of space she was, my farts have more tune. She needs to seriously grown up or just shut up period.
Her behaviour was appalling, and has the cheek to claim the judges set her up!, she should count herself lucky that people have paid to see her on her so called day job. She had two chances not ONE like other contestants. She was crap on both, so I suggest THAT she does look for a proper day job, and if I was the one she’d assaulted I’d be pressing charges so she should count herself lucky and grow up, instead of throwing her dummy out of her pram!.
I was there and they did tell her what she had to sing, I was standing next to her at the time, they defiantly was out to make her bad
“defiantly” ?????
Last post : “defiantly” ????
They do appear to have set up that girl. Nothing excuses her behaviour but they are worse using it in the opening show to get the publicity.
This woman was an actor!! How are people buying this? It’s all a set up to make the show interesting.
