Selena Gomez Granted Temporary Restraining Order Against Thomas Brodnicki

BURBANK, Calif. -- A judge has granted Selena Gomez a temporary restraining order from a man with a history of mental illness who police say threatened the singer-actress.

Court records show the "Wizards of Waverly Place" star was granted the order Thursday in Burbank, which is north of downtown Los Angeles. Thomas Brodnicki is required to stay 100 yards away from Gomez and her workplace until a Nov. 4 hearing, when the order may be extended for three years.

Gomez wrote in a sworn declaration that she is in "extreme fear" of Brodnicki.

The filings, first reported Monday by celebrity website TMZ, state police were notified by mental health workers that the 46-year-old had threatened to harm or kill the actress while on a psychiatric hold.

Attempts to reach Brodnicki were unsuccessful.

I feel sorry for celebs who have to deal with some really messed up fans. Thank God I am not one of them.

Yes! I remember that Selena Gomez has already received death threats from "Bielbers" after she was pictured kissing and cavorting with the teen idol in Hawaii. And now she is receiving from a criminal 46-years old Thomas Brodnicki.
