Tulisa Flees UK Over Sex Tape Mocking

Tulisa Contostavlos is fleeing the UK after being mocked over her sex tape.

The 'x factor' judge is planning to escape the reaction by heading to Miami to visit American rapper Terius Nash, aka The-Dream - who she partied with while she was in the city recording her debut album last month - after X-rated footage of her with ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards, aka MC Ultra, was leaked onto the internet.

She wrote on twitter: ''As if I'm goin bed n @MrTeriusNash is bout 2 go on stage ... tear it up G! see ya in a few weeks #STATESIDEBOUND (sic)''

Sources close to the N-Dubz singer have advised her to lay low In America, where she is still relatively unknown, because she ''can't face going outside'' in the UK.

A friend of the 23-year-old star said: ''It has been the worst period of Tulisa's life. She can't face going outside.''

Tulisa ran away from her private box at a Drake concert at London's O2 Arena on Tuesday (26.03.12) after fearing people were mocking her over the tape.

The friend added to the Daily Star newspaper: ''The Drake gig on Monday night was a real struggle for her as she thinks everyone is laughing at her.''

Tulisa felt ''really awkward'' at the gig because she was concerned boy band JLS - who are made up of Marvin Humes, Aston Merrygold, Oritse Williams and J.B. Gill - had seen the footage.

A source recently said: ''Tulisa was really looking forward to escaping all the embarrassment of the past week with a good night out.

''She knew the JLS boys were going to be there but felt really awkward when she walked in because she presumed the lads had seen the tape.''
