Manhattan Hotel Receives Threat Asking Front Desk Staff To Pass a Disturbing Message to Pink
New York Police Department investigates anonymous electronic threat sent to a West Village hotel referencing the pop star's multi-million-dollar property

American pop singer Pink has become the target of a chilling anonymous death threat delivered electronically to a Manhattan hotel on 31 August.
The anonymous sender directed the front desk staff at the New York City establishment to pass the disturbing message directly to the 46-year-old artist.
The terrifying communication was reported to the authorities on Tuesday, 1 September, according to the New York Post.
Law enforcement officials confirmed that the acclaimed musician was not present at the hotel when the electronic threat was received. Compounding the alarm, the anonymous message specifically referenced the singer's newly acquired Greenwich Village townhouse.
While investigators evaluate the digital origins of the threat and review electronic logs, the harrowing incident highlights the complex security challenges that high-profile public figures face as they navigate urban residential life.
Disturbing Threat Mentions Greenwich Village Townhouse
In addition to the violent language directed at Pink, the menacing email specifically referenced the £16.5 million ($21.5 million) townhouse she recently purchased. The property is located in Greenwich Village, the same neighbourhood as the hotel.
Despite the alarming nature of the correspondence, the New York Police Department (NYPD) reportedly had no additional immediate information regarding the threat.
Official records indicate that no injuries have been reported in connection with the incident, and detectives have not yet made any arrests.
The police are now evaluating the credibility of the message. The ensuing investigation will likely require rigorous digital forensics to trace the shadowy origins of the anonymous sender.
Singer Pink Recently Relocated to New York
The threat arrives just months after the artist relocated her family to New York. Earlier this year, whilst serving as a guest host on an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Pink explained that she had purposefully moved her family to the metropolis to support her children's creative ambitions.
'We actually moved here because I am an amazing mom, and also so Willow could study theatre and experience more Broadway,' she proudly shared with the daytime television audience at the time.
During that television appearance, the future of Clarkson's highly rated daytime programme seemed somewhat uncertain. This ambiguity quickly spawned widespread media speculation, with several industry reports aggressively suggesting that the 'Get the Party Started' vocalist might permanently take over the hosting chair, potentially replacing her fellow pop star.
However, she denied these rumours in a now-deleted Instagram video, clarifying that her focus remains on her family.
Singer Pink Clear About Current Priorities
The public clarification offered a rare glimpse into her current priorities, which revolve firmly around her family's well-being rather than securing another demanding television commitment.
'Just in a continuation of debunking all of the sources that we've got going on in the world,' she wrote in the social media post. 'I'm not taking over The Kelly Clarkson Show. I'm doing a fun thing for my buddy Kelly, because it's a fun thing.'
She then reminded her followers of her established industry clout. 'If I wanted a talk show, I would not have to audition. I would just have one, and it would be amazing, not something I'm currently researching or looking for in my busy, busy, busy world,' the artist concluded, ending the debate.
As the investigation continues, local authorities are expected to review the hotel's digital records. Routine security measures are typically heightened when public figures face documented threats of this nature. Pink's representatives have yet to issue a formal statement regarding the email.
The primary focus centres on identifying the anonymous author behind the correspondence and ensuring the safety of the artist and her family.
