Selena Gomez may seem like she is on top of the world in her career and relationship, but it's not all rosy for the Disney star who has received a pretty credible death threat recently. She has received a death threat that is so serious the LAPD's Threat Management Unit is on the case, and Selena has obtained a restraining order, TMZ has learned.
Police have granted 19-year-old singer-actress Selena Gomez a temporary restraining order after a 46-year-old Thomas Brodnicki with a history of mental illness and a criminal record of stalking threatened to kill her, according to the Associated Press.
Brodnicki allegedly told his psychiatrist he was going to kill Gomez, and reportedly traveled from Chicago to L.A., visiting the actress' workplace three times, and telling people he had conversations with God about killing the star. A spokesperson for the LAPD would not comment on the story when contacted by MailOnline earlier today and said: "I'm sorry I can't say, all the information is strictly confidential."
Brodnicki was picked up for mental evaluation last month for allegedly threatening to "scratch people's eyes out on the street." While he was being held for mental evaluation, he made the threats to the shrink. After posting photos of herself kissing JB while on a romantic Caribbean getaway, Selena received death threats from die-hard Beliebers via Twitter.
The 19-year-old has just been exposed to one of the worst parts of fame and it's the reason many would rather not be famous.
This is not the first time Selena has been the subject of death threats and after pictures of the singer and her boyfriend enjoying a romantic break in Hawaii were published in May, Selena was the subject of a jealous hate campaign.
