X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has emerged from London’s High Court this morning a vindicated woman at the end of the legal proceedings she instigated against former boyfriend Justin ‘MC Ultra’ Edwards over his leaking of the infamous sex tape.

Earlier this week, while under oath, Edwards finally admitted to having been the party responsible for putting the sex tape on the internet, and once he did so, his defence crumbled and the end of the case in Tulisa’s favour became a foregone conclusion.

And in a triumphant pre-written statement to the waiting press this morning, Tulisa said, “I am relieved that this is finally over.

“It has been a very testing few months and this was not a case I ever wanted to go through…

“Justin Edwards’s actions were to spite me, make money and ruin my career. He has succeeded in none of these things.

“I stand here today a stronger, wiser young woman who has taken this experience and learnt from it.

“I am disgusted by Justin and saddened by the people that believed I released the footage myself.

“Today the truth has prevailed. After months of lying to the public and lying in court, Justin has finally admitted to being guilty and I hope justice is served.

“I would now like to draw a line under this and put it in the past. I also would like to thank from the bottom of my heart the fans that stood by me.

“I’m especially grateful for all the support I have received from the public, my friends, family and team. With that support and my determination I have won this battle.”

She concluded, “This time, Justin messed with the wrong woman.”

Well done Tulisa! Are you pleased the case went her way in the end?
