Selena Gomez, the American actress and musician, was not punched in the face by a fan of Justin Bieber, despite rumours suggesting that she had been the victim of a jealous attack, reports People Magazine.Gomez and Bieber went public with their relationship at the Vanity Fair Oscars party on Sunday (27th March 2011) and it was reported that the actress had been subject to online threats from fans of the 17-year-old pop sensation. Earlier this week, a photograph of the Disney star with what appeared to be a cut lip began surfacing online and there was suggestion that she had been punched. The couple were leaving the Los Angeles restaurant 'Maggiano's' following a dinner date when they were met by innumerable photographers and fans trying to get snaps and autographs. After making their way to a waiting car, Gomez appeared to be holding her mouth, fuelling rumours that she had been hit. However, her representative has since denied the allegations, saying there is "absolutely no truth" to the story.
