Unraveling Tulisa's Post-Celebrity Struggles
Section 1: The Elimination and Immediate Aftermath
Earlier this month, the renowned N-Dubz performer faced the tough reality of being the third celebrity to be eliminated from the highly anticipated reality show. Just after that, she admitted to feeling "overwhelmed" as she found herself back in the spotlight. It was a significant moment for her as she left Australia and returned to the UK before the live final. This sudden change in her life brought a wave of emotions and challenges.During that wide-ranging new interview published in The Guardian on Thursday, Tulisa shared her raw feelings. She said, "I came out, still followed by cameras, all tits and teeth, and it wasn’t until I was on my own that I felt this introvert-overload. I was hyperventilating, crying. It was too much." These words give a glimpse into the inner turmoil she was experiencing.Section 2: Reevaluating Her Relationship with Fame
Tulisa is now in the process of determining whether her reaction to being in the spotlight is related to a fear she has of being in the limelight or if it's a sign that "the person I’ve become" no longer desires fame. This is a crucial stage in her life as she reflects on her career and who she wants to be.In the past few years, she has been keeping a lower profile. By signing up for I’m A Celebrity in 2024, she aimed to explore her relationship with celebrity. She explained, "I had a lot of fear surrounding exposure, and I got to the point where I thought: ‘Am I holding on to this fear because of what people have done to me in the past? Am I letting other people change my perception of what my career is and could be?’ I didn’t want to feel that way any more."Section 3: Dealing with Past Issues and Demons
Upon leaving the jungle, Tulisa sparked concern among her fans when she deleted all traces of the show from her Instagram account. This act showed that she is still dealing with the aftermath of her past experiences. She said, "I’ve been out of the spotlight for a long time, and I’m still trying to overcome those things. I’ve still got my little demons. It doesn’t mean that I’m going to go and hide back under a rock for another 10 years, it just means that I need a little bit of time to just process and get right with my thoughts."She is seeking help and support through various channels.
