Should Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Be Afraid Of His Fans?

By Jo Piazza Posted Jan 5th 2011 11:59PM

Dating (or being very close personal friends) with Justin Bieber comes with a special set of liabilities, as teen sweetheart Selena Gomez has discovered during the past few days.

After photos surfaced of the pair getting cozy on a yacht in the Caribbean, Bieber's fans got nasty about Gomez on Twitter. In fact, they moved beyond nasty to downright vicious and threatening.

Some anti-Selena tweets have included:

@selenagomez I'll kill you I swear on GOD!!!!

@selenagomez whore cancer whore..like i'mm kill myself cuz i saw you and Justin kissing well thankyou Selena thankyou now i'm killing myself

@selenagomez stay away from Justin pedophile, retard wait i'm gonna kill ya in the night underneath your smelly bed

@selenagomez If you are the Girlfriend of Justin I will Kill you I HATE YOU :@ !!!

Former FBI agent and security expert Harold Copus of Copus Security Consultants in Atlanta says that even though these threats were sent over something as seemingly innocuous as Twitter, Bieber and Gomez should consult their security teams and take the threats with the appropriate dose of concern.

"I think any time you receive a threat over Twitter or anonymous letter, you have to be somewhat concerned," Copus says. "They may look to increase their security. They may factor this into a variety of other information they know about potential threats and figure out where this piece of information fits in the puzzle."

Copus says this could very well be an isolated case of rabid fans upset over the fact that their idol may have a new girlfriend, but still, a celebrity can never discount any threat.

"If I was running that security detail, this would be on my radar screen," Copus tells PopEater.

Gomez isn't the first suspected paramour of Bieber's to receive threats. Back in May, after Bieber tweeted a picture of himself with Kim Kardashian, fans attacked the much older celebrity on Twitter, too. Thankfully, no Kardashian was harmed.

I guess their threats help fuel their delusions that he likes girls. It's kind of sad, when you think about it. Should feel sorry for them.

That lucky, lucky Bieber.

I agree, he is soooooo gay. I don't even see the fascination with him, he's an unattractive little boy who sings like a little girl!

By Karen

No I don't think they should be afraid or should be made to feel afraid of his fans! Fans can be so ridiculous!!

I think they are just hard broken and act without thinking,I wonder how would they respond if he hooked up with an unkown person,I guess girls have a jealusy trigger I have seen these type of things happen before,It's a regular thing in High School When the cool guy takes the other girl,they go nuts and start of thinking about bullying is it a sign of immature kids? Life is hard not everything can go the way you want it to go,Don't you learn that while growing up?

Well lets hope justins fans are not to crazy like a john lennon fan who shot him.

By mmd7

When will the mindless little teenbopper fans see that he will have as many g/fs as he wants and that they will never be one of them. I hope he makes her his full time g/f. Then we can quit hearing about this liitle fruity looking dude all the time cuz then some of these teens will grow a brain and spend ther money on other stuff and his fame will wind down.

I'm sure KT is out there somewhere tweeting similar things to Selena.

Isnt there a law against an adult (18) with a minor (16)? He is just a little boy with money, an still a minor little boy. Where are his parents and what are they doing?

It is only a crime if they have sex. Get over it already.

In all states in US 16 is consenting age anyway so even if they were having sex which is none of anyones business anyway,it would be legal! leave them alone! hes entitled to have gfs just like anyother teenage boy. lay off them already!

By Ripper

Sounds like a bunch of immature 10 yr olds. This is like Beatles Fans gone rabid with more high tech at their disposal....rofl

The big problem here is Justin is a waste of talent and nothing special....oh and that goofy haircut has to go Justin. You look like you need a special helmet...lmfao

Now little girls, go ahead and threaten me because I am not afraid of any man or god in this universe, let alone a bunch of love starved horny teen girls such as yourselves.

That guy is just creepy.

BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY,JUSTIN MAY HIT YOU WITH HIS HANDBAG

By Maria

They shouldn't be scared of his fans because all of his fans are little 12 year old girls that don't know what they're talking about. Also, hes stupid and gay for many reasons. So why like him in the first place? AND, Selena is the one thats actually pretty and talented. Guys should be typing death threats to Justin in my opinion.

How exactly is Justin stupid and gay, yet he has a girlfriend and millions of dollars? Obviously he's smart enough to be doing SOMETHING right. He could buy everything you own if he wanted. Jeesh, you haters are really something else. Worse than his delusional fans.

By nov2rememberout

To the fans........................Grow Up, this is publicity
To the fans........................ Fantasy and Reality he is not going to meet you and live happily ever after.
And he is 16 he does not even know real love yet, he can't even drive or drink or vote for that matter. I think we should get over it. He'll go through a lot of girls before he is 20. Were at War were in a economy mess and this is news. Sad, really sad.

These are the pathetic fans who also like and pay for Kim K. house.
