Jennifer Lopez Receiving Death Threats

Posted on May 10, 2007

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have reportedly had to hire new body guards after receiving death threats from animal rights activists.

“A friend of Lopez says an pro-animal extremist has recently been sending letters to Lopez, threatening “to kill her in public, just like the slaughtered animals whose fur she wears,” the New York Daily News reports.

According to the News, Lopez received the notes for a month straight, and finally decided that they had gone from a possible prank to a serious threat.

The News source says Lopez “hired two off-duty police officers, in addition to her usual security team,” but Lopez’s spokeswoman says that is “untrue.”
