Former N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos has bravely opened up about her darkest moments, including battles with addiction, suicidal thoughts, and the fallout from her leaked sex tape scandal.
In a raw and emotional interview, the 35-year-old star revealed how she spiralled into depression and substance abuse following the highly publicised legal case and media storm surrounding the explicit video.
The Downward Spiral
Tulisa confessed that at her lowest point, she contemplated taking her own life multiple times. "I was in such a dark place," she admitted. "The shame, the humiliation, the constant judgment - it felt unbearable."
Addiction Struggles
The X Factor judge detailed how she turned to drugs and alcohol to cope with the overwhelming pressure of fame and public scrutiny. "It started as a way to numb the pain," she explained, "but quickly became a prison I couldn't escape."
Road to Recovery
Now sober and rebuilding her life, Tulisa hopes her story will help others facing similar struggles. "I want people to know there is light at the end of the tunnel," she said. "No matter how bad things seem, you can come back from anything."
The singer also addressed the infamous sex tape scandal that dominated headlines in 2012, revealing how the violation of privacy affected her mental health and career.
