At 18, Selena Gomez has been branded a pedophile and a b**** by crazed Justin Bieber fans. The "Wizards of Waverly Place" star has become the latest death threat victim on Twitter after photos of her kissing the 16-year-old Canadian tween heartthrob made their way online.

Even though the Disney princess first denied being romantically involved with Justin, saying that she just feels like a big sister to him, there are photos of them canoodling at a vacation resort in the Caribbean were linked online.

The pictures, obtained by bauergriffinonline.com, show Justin wearing board shorts, and Selena donning a blue bikini top and dark towel. The two are seen hugging each other, with one photo even feature them almost kissing, but not quite.

Die-hard Bieber fans, who have a history of cyber bullying people who have either expressed that they don't like Justin or have been linked to him, turned their attention to the young singer/actress.

Some of the offending tweets read: "stay away from Justin pedophile, retard wait I'm gonna kill ya in the night underneath your smelly bed," "Don't goto jail from having sex with a minor. I am truely surprised the state hasn't jumped in here yet," "I swear @selenagomez is a f****** b*** that steals everybody's man she needs to get a life," and the unmistakable "I HATE YOU!!!! DIE! PLEASE!"

Selena doesn't need to worry too much about the haters, though. Her fans took it upon themselves to defend their idol on Twitter. Also, she is not the first girl who has been subjected to death threats by Bieber fans, who are mostly just kids to mid-teens.

Kim Kardashian was branded a whore and a pedophile by the crazed fans when she jokingly referred to Justin as her boyfriend.  icelebz
