Tulisa obtains gagging order from the High Court after 'sex tape' hits the internet

A sex tape alleged to feature X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos has been banned from the internet after her lawyers obtained an injunction.

Lawyers on both sides of the Atlantic took swift action after the lewd video was uploaded on a website on Monday.

The injunction prohibits anyone from using, publishing or communicating or disclosing to any other person... all or any part of the film.

Furthermore, her representative Simon Jones told the MailOnline: 'Tulisa has asked us not to comment on speculation about her personal life.'

The 'tape' first appeared on a website available to download for £3.90 on Monday morning and caused a social media frenzy.

The six minute film, taken from a camera phone, shows a blonde performing a sex act.
A spokesman for the website which uploaded the video wrote on their Twitter page yesterday afternoon: 'So ummm... Tulisa’s lawyers just left our office after serving us a handwritten cease and desist notice.
'So basically we’ve had to take the video down.'

The X Factor judge was apparently approached by an unidentified man last year, who wanted to sell a supposed sex tape for £500,000.

A spokesperson for the star said at the time: 'This tape is 100 per cent fake and is just someone trying to cash in on her X Factor role.

'She is horrified that someone would go to the extreme lengths of fabricating a video. It is absolutely not her. Tulisa has categorically never allowed anyone to film her having sex.'

Camden-born Tulisa shot to fame with N-Dubz in 2008, which she formed with cousin Dappy (Costadinos Contostavlos) and ex-boyfriend Fazer (Richard Rawson).
The trio had performed together from the age of 12.
The star broke off her 18-month relationship with Fazer in January, amid rumours he wanted her to settle down but she was determined to break the U.S. market with her first solo album.

Despite their romance ending, the pair were said to be on good terms, with Fazer producing some of the tracks on her debut album.
Writing on his Twitter page following the reports yesterday, Fazer said: 'And I'm not commenting on s**t!! Rice and peace mate!!'
