Is Joss Stone Safe In Her Own Home?

Singer Joss Stone joked about the moment she was told by the police that Kevin Liverpool and Junior Bradshaw had allegedly planned to behead her. She spoke yesterday about it saying that apart from those extreme threats, it had been a ‘really nice day’.

The peculiar threats supposedly made by the two men from Manchester went as far as decapitating her as well as dumping her body in a river. She admitted that her home security could have been tighter as she often left it open for family, friends and her ex boyfriend, Danny Radford. She explained that she had lived in “Devon for a long time and nobody shuts their door”. She also said that she “had an alarm” but “did not really turn it on very much”. The soulful singer who says she “is a free spirit” may have been a little too liberated and failed to realise that she is in the public eye therefore people would be after her, whether it be for a good reason or bad. She has previously made it apparent that she likes to go on road trips for a couple of days so she may not be used to staying in one place which is why she could have left her house so freely.

Celebrities are known to travel all over the world, especially entertainers who go on tours and promote their brand. They are also known to live ‘out of their suitcases’ so once situated, it could be hard to adapt to ‘normal living’. Charles Darwin’s adaption theory explores this as according to him, adaptations to different environments could be adjusted over time, so maybe Joss Stone had not adapted to her standard home living due to “going on tours” and travelling in her VW camper van the Telegraph had revealed.

The terrible risk of decapitation may not have been helped due to her lack of security but that does not take away from the fact that Kevin and Junior were apparent psychos who planned to commit such a crime handing no blame whatsoever to Joss Stone. Despite whether your doors and windows are locked, homes should provide security and should be a haven for tranquillity which suggests what Joss was looking for as she chose to live in the country. And by her calm response to the information the police had given her about the two suspected men, is it safe to say that she was somewhat at fault for jeopardising her privacy?
