Stone: 'money made me target for robbery plot'

Two men were arrested near Stone's countryside home last month (Jun11) and accused of planning to attack and rob her.

The You Had Me hitmaker, who is one of the richest singers under the age of 30, believes reports of her estimated £9 million fortune are "dangerous" and may be to blame for the harrowing incident.

Stone tells You magazine, "The idea that you have all this money just gives people another reason to hate you."

But the defiant 24 year old remains unfazed by the drama and refuses to leave her home in Cullompton, Devon over fears for her safety.

She adds, "It's highlighted to me how brilliant the community down here is. Everyone around is like extended family, all of us looking out for each other. I could never live anywhere else."
