LAPD detective says Selena Gomez is in serious danger

By Alexandra Heilbron on November 4, 2011 | 4 Comments


Selena Gomez‘s stalker, Thomas Brodnicki, 46, pleaded not guilty in court yesterday. During the hearing Brodnicki, who previously received a three-year sentence for stalking another woman, was standing behind his lawyer, making crazy faces at the in-court camera. This morning, a sworn declaration written by Detective Jose Viramontes was filed in court, in which he says he interviewed Brodnicki, who told his therapist he was going to kill Selena — and said Brodnicki “reiterated that he had many conversations with God about killing Ms. Gomez.” Viramontes says Brodnicki insisted he wasn’t leaving California until he met Selena. The detective concluded that Brodnicki’s threats were “credible” and says he poses a “serious threat to Ms. Gomez.” After hearing the evidence, Judge Upinder Kalra issued a criminal restraining order prohibiting Brodnicki from going near Selena for the next three years. He also set Brodnicki’s bail at $150,000 and ordered him back to court on November 15. If Brodnicki is convicted, he could spend up to three years in prison.

    If he won’t leave California until he meets Selena, maybe she should think of having a sit down with him with lots of security around and just have a conversation with him.

    Also, am I the only one who completely missed the faces he was allegedly making to the camera?

    It’s the guy behind the guy in front. He’s behind a wooden partition and you don’t see him at first, then he pokes his head around and makes creepy faces right at the camera.

    @TheTruth Have a sit-down with him? I think she should get as far away from him as possible.

    What a scary world we live in, especially for women.
