Tulisa Accused Of V Festival Blogger Assault

Former X Factor judge and N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos has been accused of assaulting a blogger at V Festival.

Essex Police are investigating after celebrity writer Vas Morgan claimed that the 25-year-old charged towards him in a "drunken and angry state" in the backstage area of the Chelmsford event on Sunday.

A representative for Constostavlos issued a statement saying: "Tulisa strongly denies assaulting Mr Morgan; she specifically denies punching Mr Morgan in the eye.

"She has placed this matter in the hands of her lawyers for immediate and appropriate action."

A force spokeswoman confirmed that officers received the allegation of an assault on Tuesday. The attack is alleged to have taken place just after midnight.

She added: "We are making further inquiries."

Earlier this year Tulisa was arrested on suspicion of supplying class A drugs following a newspaper report about an alleged cocaine deal.

Her bail has been extended until October.

She was dropped from the X Factor and replaced by Sharon Osbourne.

In 2012 Tulisa won an apology from her ex-boyfriend after he leaked footage on to the internet of the two of them performing a sex act.
