Reportedly, Selena Gomez has had her life threatened by a known stalker, and the LAPD’s Threat Management Unit has gotten involved in the matter. Thomas Brodnicki, a 46-year-old career stalker (he has a criminal history of stalking) allegedly “told his shrink he was going to kill Selena Gomez,” and according to TMZ:

“… Brodnicki told the shrink he traveled from Chicago to L.A. to meet her, visited her workplace at least three times and has told people he had conversations with God about killing her. Selena Gomez says she is in ‘extreme fear,’ believing he will carry out his death threat against her if he isn’t stopped.

Selena Gomez and her lawyer claim Brodnicki was picked up for mental evaluation last month after he allegedly threatened to ‘scratch people’s eyes out on the street.’ Brodnicki allegedly made the threats against Gomez during his mental evaluation.”

LAPD detectives are reportedly not taking the threats lightly due to Brodnicki’s history of mental illness. I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that threats from her boyfriend Justin Bieber‘s overzealous fans are the least of Selena’s worries right now.
