Leona Lewis Hasn’t Hired Extra Security

Posted by Adam

Leona LewisLEONA Lewis doesn’t want a huge army of security guards — despite being attacked at a book signing last month.

The Bleeding Love hitmaker says although she was shocked by the incident, she believes it’s unlikely something similar would happen in the future.

“It was shocking. So, so horrible,” Leona told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper. “It’s a shocking thing to happen to anyone — to be attacked by a man, especially as a female. But I am trying to see it as something isolated, something that doesn’t happen often — touch wood — and something that won’t happen again. I have to deal with it.

“I had a little bit of time out immediately after [the attack], time to be with my family and a chance to get over the shock.

“Now I’m just kind of dealing with it and trying to put it behind me.

“As for extra security — well, I’ve tried to keep it pretty much the same.

“I’ve always tried to keep as few people around me as possible because I don’t feel like I need it. But now, after this, I also know that doing this you have to protect yourself a little bit. Being in this industry you are exposed — more so than other people. I know that I have to look after myself as well.”
