COURTNEY LOVE MOVES TO NEW YORK AFTER HER EMPLOYEES IN LA TRIED TO PUT HER IN THE CRAZY HOUSE!

Courtney Love has moved back to New York - driven out of Los Angeles by double-crossing employees she says "tried to take me to the loony bin."
Love tells us she's sought refuge here after people on her payroll enlisted off-duty, gun-wielding cops to stage bogus "raids" on her Malibu home in a bid to help themselves to the fortune of her late husband, Kurt Cobain.

Rehabbed rocker Love, who was ordered to have a hospital observation in 2003, vouches that she was sober last year when men claiming to be LAPD and Malibu sheriff's officers came to her house three times with "trumped-up John Doe warrants" to get her (rather than a court-issued psychiatric hold order).

One night, Love says, "a flood of guys, at least 10, came to my house. They said there was an ambulance outside, even though we never saw one. I tried to be charming. But one of the guys points a gun at me. My daughter, Frances, ran and hid under the house."

Love says the standoff was defused by a private investigator she'd hired and who later urged her to get tighter security.

Corroborating Love's harrowing tale are Adam DelMonte and Michael Kenworthy of AC Digital Services, who say they recorded the "blitz" on security cameras they installed in Love's house. "These impostors then flipped the situation on Mrs. Cobain and tried to strong-arm her and scare her into feeling she needed to hire them for protection," DelMonte and Kenworthy assert in a letter. "Fortunately, we were able ... to get them out of her life."

Love's computer consultants at AC Digital also say they found evidence that her former staffers attempted to divert funds "to senior citizen housing developments and property all throughout the United States [and installed] numerous types of spyware on her computers and her phone. Both her camera and microphone on her cell phone were bugged at one point, and her computer is so riddled with viruses that anyone could hack in."

Love, 45, says she has reported the incidents to the LAPD, "but nobody calls me back." Asserting that one of her money managers wanted to "shut this girl up," a sobbing Love tells us: "I got chased out of my own bleeping town."

The rocker, now living in Tribeca and working on her next Hole album, has since hired attorney Keith Fink. Fink alleges her previous lawyers and business managers claimed unwarranted commissions on the sales of shares, worth $36 million, that she and her daughter held in Nirvana's song catalogue. Love's former handlers deny that claim.

"I believe there's validity in Ms. Love's allegations," says Fink, who says he may also sue Frances' trust.

Love said she has contacted New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, but admits that, although she feels more together than she's ever been, she's dogged by her reputation.

"My biggest problem," she says tearfully, "is that I'm Courtney Love."
