She's always been thought of as a bit of a tough cookie, but Tulisa Contostavlos says she's just misunderstood.
The X Factor judge has commented that people often get the wrong impression about her and even brand her a 'bitch'.
But she claims her difficult upbringing forced her her to be "tough", but that doesn't mean she's a bitch.
"I had a bad time but got through it by not letting everything get to me," she told The Mirror. "I spend most of my life being tough, but there is a downside - a lot of people think I'm a bitch. I'm not.
"Every now and again I'll shut myself away and cry. If there's something that's bothering me - like a load of nasty remarks on Twitter - sometimes crying can be the best release."
The N-Dubber also said she'd love to settle down and have a family.
The Live It Up star added: "I really want to have kids. I'll get married and because of the way I grew up, having a baby will be a massive deal for me."
Tulisa gets embarrassed
Tulisa was crowned FHM magazine's Sexiest Woman In The World earlier in the year, but the whole thing makes her "embarrassed" she said. The 24-year-old also insisted that there were "a lot more beautiful girls out there".
Saying that, Tulisa managed to beat one of the most beautiful women out there off the top spot, so she must be doing something right.
Cheryl Cole, who came second, won the lads' mag poll in 2009 and 2010.
