“It’s A Big, Fat, Ugly Cow… But I Have A Mortgage To Pay” Tulisa Reveals What She Thinks Of The Music Industry

Tulisa has revealed what she thinks of the music industry and says she doesn’t want to do it anymore, but she has a £6 million mortgage to pay.

The singer spoke about her fame and fortune in meetings with the undercover Sun reporters and said it’s all a “big game”.

“It’s all a big game,” she said on video, “I call the industry a big fat ugly cow.

“I want to get out of that [X Factor]. I want to get away from that.

“I’m kind of like almost gagging for an opportunity to go. I don’t want to do that anymore, but I have a £6 million mortgage to pay.”

The judge has since been axed from the X Factor show, just weeks before the newspaper sensationally uncovered her confession to acting as a go-between in an £800 drug deal.

Tulisa’s father, Plato Contostavlos, walked out on her family when she was just 14 years of age, but has revealed he is desperate to reconcile their relationship and also spoke out about her last fortnight.

Tulisa was at the centre of drug-dealing allegations last week. 

He said the star has refused to eat or drink that much since the allegations last week and has sat chain-smoking in her home.

 “I was devastated when I heard it, that’s my child. I was hurt badly,” Plato, 53, said.

“I just thought, ‘What’s this, what are you doing? Have you had a drink too many and you’re starting to talk rubbish’?

“All I know is that Tulisa was on the news and I went, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe this’.”

He added: “I fear for Tulisa and her career and I’m trying to reach out to her so she can succeed again.

“I’m worried as a father about the people she’s hanging about with. Any father on the planet would have fears, but I know she’ll pull through because she has strong family.”

Tulisa and some of the X Factor team she has left behind. 

Tulisa’s autobiography describes how she grew up in North London and got involved with a gang who were into fighting, stealing and having underage sex.

Plato said: “She was always with ghetto kids because they were always rapping and she loved that music. So all her mates were always ‘ghetto’.”

 “I know she doesn’t touch drugs. I can understand if your child does drugs, then you’d fall on the floor. I’d want to kill myself if she really did take drugs.

“I’d be so devastated, because I’m so anti-coke, heroin, powders and pills.

“But she’s not taking drugs. I swear on my dead brother’s grave, she does not touch drugs.”
