A judge has granted Justin Bieber’s best girl friend and famous actress Selena Gomez a temporary restraining order from a man with a history of mental illness who police say threatened the singer-actress.
Superior Court judge of A Los Angeles approved the order on Thursday requiring Thomas Brodnicki to stay at least 100 yards away from the 19 year-old singer and actress who also is the girlfriend of teenage pop star Justin Bieber.
Gomez said in a statement filed with the court that "I am in extreme fear of Mr. Brodnicki, due to his direct threat on my life, his obsessive, harassing and threatening behavior to me, as well as his criminal history of stalking,".
Gomez's temporary restraining order against Brodnicki could be extended for three years at a hearing on November 4.
The Los Angeles Police Department's threat management unit is handling the case and working to protect Gomez from Brodnicki, court papers state.
Best known for her role in the Disney television show "Wizards of Waverly Place," Gomez also starred this year in the film "Monte Carlo." As a singer, her top songs include "Shake It Up" and "Tell Me Something I Don't Know."
The filings, first reported Monday by celebrity website TMZ, say 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.
