"I hopped on a virtual call and met Emily, a superfan of Camp Rock. Mom corresponded with their reps, who asked for travel information to book a flight for an in-person visit. After claiming I needed to travel alone, my moms intuition sounded an alarm.""Though my team approved the request, my mom did her own due diligence and discovered the website was a scam, the young girl was a plant, and I was walking into a kidnapping plot to be held hostage for ransom," Stoner revealed.Months later, the star received 50 messages on Twitter from a middle-aged stalker who was convinced that "I as a teen was his wife, named Cinderella, with whom he shared pet mice."According to the book, the obsessive fans numerous messages alternated "between praise and harmful threats."

By the time they approached, Id already clocked how long theyd been staring, whether they were lone wolves, and if their hands were visible or hidden in pockets."This was just one of several frightening experiences that marked Stoners adolescence while being in the spotlight.Stoner described how someone gave out their number, which resulted in receiving nearly 900 text messages from strangers. Many asked for money. Others fired "really nasty messages" that sent their "already paper-thin trust to the shredder."Whenever Stoner went out in public, they had to devise plans to get to and from destinations to avoid being followed.

"Then I blacked out, and he raped me."Stoner recently recalled to Fox News Digital how, after working in showbiz for nearly 20 years, they woke up to "zero dollars" in the bank account. There should have been over a million."Even though I was absolutely frugal, and I continue to be, there are a lot of loopholes that leave room for a childs money to be mishandled, even by people who have good intentions but dont understand the unique business structures of entertainment expenses," Stoner explained."It was shocking to wake up to zero dollars in an account," Stoner admitted. "I was mostly in denial at first. I was afraid for my future. I wondered after all this time, if I can be duped once, will I be taken advantage of again? Do I have the competence, the life skills to find my way outside the industry?"The entertainer was in their early 20s when they made the shocking discovery.Stoner and their older sister teamed up to investigate years of records,the book details. The duo discovered that Stoners business team had mismanaged finances, splurging on lavish gifts. Their mother, a "career bookkeeper," had been paying herself a monthly salary since Stoner was a child, plus taking "one-off payments" of "several thousand" over the years.There were also decades of hefty expenses to maintain a successful career in Hollywood. There were never any conversations about budgeting and saving.Stoner wrote that 15 years of labor turned into "a crumbling house of cards.""A lot of folks are unaware that it can cost between $10,000 and $20,000 for different expenses," said Stoner. "Many artists are losing money while spending a lot of time and energy and resources auditioning, only to be rejected a majority of the time The creative industry is largely unpaid labor.

Stoner said they felt loyalty and compassion for the matriarch, who had also struggled with alcohol.Fox News Digital reached out to Stoners mother for comment."I began performing at the age of 3," Stoner reflected. "I attended a performance convention in New York at age 6. Unbeknownst to me, this was a recruitment funnel for Hollywood. Andmy Midwestern family had zero affiliation with the industry.""I had zero aspirations to pursue the industry," said Stoner. "And yet, there was a funnel with lots of different players, from agents to managers, to casting directors, who were used to seeing children go through this process almost like a conveyor belt, becoming packaged products for audiences."80S STAR KELLY LEBROCK RAN AWAY FROM HOLLYWOOD FOR GOATS, GRANDKIDS AND SIMPLER LIFE"At 6 years old, I couldn't understand the short- and long-term implications of having corporations own my name, image and likeness," Stoner continued. "It was also impossible for my family, who were given no upfront manual for what to expect, to recognize the consequences of disrupting every area of my childhood development, removing me from school to navigate 80-hour work weeks."Today, Stoner is the founder ofMovement Genius, an online platform that aims to make mental health support more accessible. Stoner is also a voice actor for Disney.Stoner noted that being an advocate forthe next generation of child performers is one of their most important roles today."My memoir gives people an opportunity to learn about the intimate details of what happened on all those sets growing up, while also answering very timely questions about what it means to navigate the world," said Stoner. "I tell people, Come for the childhood chaos. Stay for the cultural critique."
