The actress sparked outrage amongst fanatic Bieber admirers when pictures of her emerged larking about on holiday with the teen sensation.
The loved-up couple are currently on a romantic break in Maui, Hawaii, and have been spotted kissing and cuddling on the beach.
Selena, who at 18 is one year older than her 17-year-old beau, had to face bizarre and aggressive verbal attacks on social networking site Twitter.
"Stay away from Justin paedophile," one angry fan wrote, while another added: "I'm gonna kill ya in the night underneath your smell bed."
A third posted " Selena Gomez is dangerously close to a long, slow painful death."
