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 just can't see either one of these kids as superstars, however, there must be a way of contacting these kids who are threatening the two. Let the local Police or FBI pay these idiots a visit at their home and sit down and talk to those involved along with their parents. There must be a way to know who and where these kids are located.

Why would a 18 year old girl go with a 16 year old kid? Fans don't worry about it, He isn't worth it. What are you going to do when he gets married?

Ok...to these immature teens..where are the parental morals? seriously now, sending death threats to a person THEY DON'T PERSONALLY KNOW, all because there is a naturally developing attraction between some other girl that HE DOES KNOW? Seriously, is sending a death threat to possible girlfriend of your celebrity crush proving your sanity?? If you were a TRUE FAN, you would respect him and his future girlfriends.

nah 16 is consent for a male, 18 for female, so its legal, albeit stupid, but legal

She should worry that Justin is out of breath after doing one song like a 3 pack a day smoker. Score another for Team Justin marketing these two as a couple to keep the stories going. Strange if an 18 year old guy was with a 16 girl - he might end up in jail, court or on a sex registry list as someone to beware of for life.

I know that. I was saying if it was the other way around he would be in big trouble.

Once his voice finally changes and he shaves off his hair, he'll lose his appeal and go back to being just another weirdo Canadian.

Awww, i feel SO bad for selena, the poor thing...but what i dont get is whats up with the fans, u arent being a true fan if ur threatn' his gf, makes no sense seriously ppl think before u do sh*t, cause this counts as cyber bulling!

if this was someone else ppl wuldnt even CARE!

anyway i dont think they should b afraid of the fans, cause they cant do anything without being sued or sent to prison;) they might crack under the pressure....

By Lily

Justin is 17!!!!! Not 16! He even said it at the awards the other night ago!!!!!! get the hell over it! They are a couple, which means Justin is not gay or stupid! The haters AND the fans are really something else.

Selena Gomez is a wh*re who gets paid to be "girlfriend".

Bieber and Selena Gomez have only 1 thing to be afraid of - that public will learn the truth about their showmance.

i dont think that selena and justin should be scared of their fans because if they want to pair up as a couple they can, because its their personal bussiness and they can do what they want. and the cameras and papparazzi shouldnt be hacking into selena and justins life when ever they want to because its just not fair for the amazing couple selena and justin are people to love and cheer for, not to be seen doing stuff they do!!
papparazzi get away from the couple
GET AWAY FROM THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FROM SELENAS AND JUSTINS NO.1 FAN IN THE EARTH FROM NAZNEEN XXX
