The former X Factor judge, 25, allegedly ‘punched’ Savvas Morgan while at V Festival in Chelmsford last year.
She is accused of the attack after claiming that Savvas was stalking her. The prosecutor said: “She saw the opportunity and hit him in the eye.”
The altercation is said to have taken place in the VIP section of the festival. Tulisa’s friend and PA Gareth Varey, 28, is accused of threatening behaviour, which he also denied.
Savvas told the court: “Everyone was jumping around trying to get at me, there was a lot going on.” He also revealed how he was escorted away by security, adding that a guard told him: “There’s one of you and 15 of them and we don’t want to see you get hurt.”
During the hearing, Savvas admitted that he republished Tulisa’s infamous sex tape, despite the fact that there was a high court injunction against the publication of it.
Tulisa flatly denied all of the Savvas’ claims, with her legal team branding him a ‘liar’ and a ‘stalker’.
In a statement that was read out in the court, Tulisa claimed that Savvas had ‘a considerable degree of ill feeling and resentment’ towards her and Gareth.
She said: “At no point was a I threatening towards him or did I punch him. I had my hands behind my back. Sometime later I learned someone else punched Mr Morgan.”
