The Tulisa sex tape shock, horror, scandal

While trying to work out whether my annual income exceeds £150k and whether I will benefit from the 50p rate tax cut, I have found found time to wonder why the current woes of Tulisa Contostavlos have made the national news.
She has been forced into issuing a pathetically snivelling little video of her own because of her ill-judged denials made before the vidoe went online.
I just don't get to whom she thinks she is apologising. It's almost as if she imagines that she may be some kind of a role model to a legion of other young girls and has let them down in some way. Sorry Tulisa you don't do anything well enough to be a role model.
Or is she apologising to the general public. And if so why would she imagine that it comes as any surprise to us that a young girl has sex? Or perhaps she is apologising to the appalling Simon Cowell who must be rubbing his greedy little hands at the publicity while making crass remarks about his intention to "watch the video tonight"
There are however a couple of things that she has said which I find stupid and distasteful and warrant an immediate apology. In her video she says that; "when you judge someone, it doesn’t define the person who you’re judging, it defines you". Oh I see, so you mustn't judge a rapist or a child abuser in case it defines yourself in some way. Or is she saying that you shouldn't judge others if you're not prepared to be judged yourself? And what is saying about her role as an X Factor judge. I just don't get it.
And her other faux pas, and I admit that the media is equally at fault here, is continually talking about video "footage" when the item referred to is a digital recording. I know that I'm an old fart but at least I understand the difference.

Okay so I think that the actions of Justin Edwards are those of a despicable low life creep with no redeeming features whatsoever. But I also think that Tulisa is the author of her own misfortunes, real or imagined, in that she allowed herself to be filmed in the first place. Just plain old fashioned stupidity.
Later
Well maybe it's all becoming clearer as it seems likely that the whole thing has been a massive publicity stunt to publicise her debut single called "We are young". The song is cheap electro pop and features suggestive scenes. To my inexpert eye, it also seems somewhat badly dubbed - no pun intended.
Judge for yourself.
