Selena Gomez has received a death threat that is so serious the LAPD's Threat Management Unit is on the case!

Selena has also had to obtain a restraining order against 46-year-old Thomas Brodnicki, a man with a criminal history of stalking, who allegedly told his therapist he was going to kill Selena.

According to the declarations of Selena and her lawyer, Blair Berk, the situation is serious. Selena says she is in "extreme fear," believing he will carry out his death threat against her if he isn't stopped.

According to court documents, LAPD detectives are taking the threats "extremely seriously" because of Brodnicki's history of mental illness and making criminal threats

We are really sorry to hear this and hope that this unstable and dangerous person is taken care of soon so Sel can have some peace! This is one of the horribly truths about being famous, and Justin's girlfriend! Awful.
