The actress who licks Justin Bieber in his new video is getting death threats

by Jeremy Mersereau

These days, it seems like anyone who works with our greatest (post-Big Wolf on Campus) cultural export, Justin Bieber, is taking their life into their hands. If you’re going to cavort with the pop star in one of his lewd, dayglo music videos or gross underwear advertisements, you’d better be prepared to field some terrifying, anonymous death threats from crazed teenagers. Seems like that’s just the price you have to pay, sadly. Well, that, and you gotta hang out with Justin Bieber.

25-year-old Moldovan model/aspiring actress Xenia Deli has been receiving online death threats from jealous Justin fanatics ever since she co-starred with the pop superstar in the music video for his “aren’t girls so CRAZY?” anthem “What Do You Mean?”. She doesn’t seem overly perturbed about it, telling Broadly that a few cyber-threats are nothing compared to growing up in the Republic of Moldova.

Um, yeah, I’m guessing that would kind of put things in perspective. After all, what’s a few empty threats from Biebgurl1990 compared to growing up in a post-war country bobbing to and fro amidst the unpredictable currents of the shadowy Russian geopolitical web? Well, I’d probably still find it a bit disconcerting… almost as disconcerting as licking the Bieb’s greasy body, but I’m no Xenia Deli.
