Adele has hired a team of lawyers to sue a French paparazzi magazine that claims to have a sex tape starring the Grammy-winning singer.

French gossip rag Public published images from an alleged sex tape that features a woman who looks nothing like the 23-year-old Brit.

After news of the tape hit the Internet, Adele's representatives shot down the story as "100 percent false" and sought legal help from Britain's powerhouse law firm, Schillings.

"Our client has not appeared in a sex tape as claimed in the article," a lawyer representing Adele told The Daily Mail. "Our client does not appear in the photographs. Such claims are untrue and grossly defamatory. Our client is taking legal action in relation to this matter."
